Car won't start
Hey guys. I need help and I don't know what to do.
I drove about 50 miles and my sercurity light came on and then disappeared.
I drove my car again and parked. When I came back to start it up, it didn't start.
The light works so I know it is not the battery. I don't even hear a starter sound
just a clicking noise.
Please help me. I got my crank shaft sensor fixed last month so i don't think that is
what is wrong with my car.
Mike

VATS wouldn't make a clicking sound. Check your battery connections, and starter connections....soulds like the starter isn't getting enough juice.

You were right with cleaning the key. But when the VATS is tripped, the car will crank but not start.....Or lock out the starter for like 3 min....I believe.
