5. 79XX miles/GT
6. Foggy morning
7. What else would you need to know, lol?

Starts fine and only happened once. Just like to know what happened.

EDIT- I turned the key far enough!! Tried with card key then the actual key.
EDIT2- 2007 MT

Thanks for all the input guys!

 

you didnt turn the key far enough.


:P

 

Was there a lot of smoke?

 

Did it explode? oh wait..

 

It can most likely be from a battery issue or possibly the terminals (which was the culprit in my case).

I had this issue on an extremely hot day - which led to my battery being dead for some reason.

 

probably a battery issue

 

If the starter motor spun, but didn't engage the flywheel for some reason it could make what could be described as a buzzing noise.

 

BAttery
mine did that before in the environment that u stated...

 

Well it hasn't happened since. I'll give the battery and terminals a once over and clean em to be safe. If the flywheel didn't catch then I would imagine there would be damage that would affect the car in a noticeable way or would possibly happen again.

 

termites perhaps!

 

lol.

 

Oh NO, The Renesis Nightmare!!!!

 

I suppose you could have a bad solenoid in the starter motor, keeping it from kicking out and engaging the flywheel, but my money is on a bad battery.

 

Yeah....

My battery terminals didn't even look that corroded or anything. However, they did appear to be tight - but the negative terminal moved ever-so-slightly when pulled on.

After I tightened it down - it has never given me an issue again. Well....until the battery itself was actually no good (later tested to be out of the efficiency range)......then I just replaced with an Optima Red Top with no problems to date.

 

Search "clutch switch" on the forums - especially if you have an 04/05, they were prone to breaking. My dealer replaced mine when i had the same problem (my problem was worse though, it wouldnt try to turn over approx 40% of the time).

I'm talkin about the the switch on the clutch pedal that let's the computer know that the clutch is depressed, it's a safety feature.

 

car year?
My bet is the battery

and eikeddle? why an Optima Red Top?
Wally world has a much better deal
Maxx 24FS
700cca, 875 Amp at 32degrees F
3 year full warranty, 75 bux
and battery fits in the battery box, no doing anything else, ie that thingy the optima needs cause it a bit short.

 

Omg haha OP has me in his sig

 

That buzzing noise, where did it come from?
Engine bay?

If you cleaned/tighten the battery terminals, then you have fixed the problem. So you will not really know if that was it.
Ya, in back of our minds, we just wonder.
