Hey All,
I went to use my car the other day and it simply wouldn't start. Thing is there was something odd going on which leads me to believe it is electrical in nature and possibly key related.
I unlocked the car with the key by pressing the open button on the key NOT using the key in the door lock. Got in, popped the key into the ignition turned it to on. Firstly I noticed that the stereo didn't turn on which it normally does if left on. Went to try to actually start the car and nothing happened, it didn't even attempt to turn over the starter motor. I also noticed that the little light on the stereo was still periodically flashing like the alarm hadn't been turned off or the immobiliser is still active.
Anyone have any suggestions? I'm really not a car person, I get in and go if it doesn't go I call someone ... I know, I know crap but I do have other useful skills that don't involve spanners and such
Thanks in advance ...
