Won't start I went to my car and unlocked it with my FOB and when I put the key in the ignition everything came on then I went to turn it over and everything shut off and won't come back on. I checked the battery and it's perfect. Still nothing turns on and nothing electrical works. Any suggestions?

I wouldn't suspect ignition switch , not without testing . B+ voltage in an out . I would do voltage drop testing on the main battery supply cable to the starter an under hood fuse box . You could have bad connection or bad cable , Starter Voltage Drop
When turning the ignition key to start ,voltage is sent to the PCM - engine computer . When the PCM see's this voltage it energizes the starter relay , closing the contacts inside the relay sending B+ voltage to the S terminal on the starter solenoid . Before replacing parts use a volt meter an test for B+ voltage at different places in the underhood fuse / relay box . IGN A 40 amp fuse . This fuse supply's B+ to the ignition switch . If you have B+ there , test at the CRANK fuse 10 amp while someone turns the key to start . IF B+ voltage is read there ignition switch is OK . Crank fuse is also located in the underhood fuse box.

    On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The BCM uses 3 signals from the ignition switch. These are the Ignition 0, Ignition 1, and Accessory.

    To determine the correct power mode the BCM uses:

    • The state of these signals

    • The sequence of switch closures received by the BCM

    • The status of the engine run flag

    The chart indicates the power modes detected and transmitted by the BCM:

  • Jeff Armer Feb 19, 2018

    Fail-safe Operation
    Since the operation of the vehicle systems depends on the power mode, there is a fail-safe plan in place should the body control module (BCM) fail to send a power mode message. The fail-safe plan covers modules with discrete ignition signal inputs as well as those modules using exclusively serial data control of power mode.

    Serial Data Messages
    The modules that depend exclusively on serial data messages for power modes stay in the state dictated by the last valid BCM message until they receive the engine status from the powertrain control module (PCM). If the BCM fails, the modules monitor the serial data circuit for the engine run flag serial data. If the engine run flag serial data is true, indicating that the engine is running, the modules fail-safe to Run. In this state the modules and their subsystems can support all operator requirements. If the engine run flag serial data is false, indicating that the engine is not running, the modules fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.

    Discrete Ignition Signals
    Those modules that have discrete ignition signal inputs also remain in the state dictated by the last valid BCM message received on the serial data circuits. They then check the state of their discrete ignition input to determine the current valid state. If the discrete ignition input is active, B+, the modules will fail-safe to the RUN power mode. If the discrete ignition input is not active, open or 0 voltage, the modules will fail-safe to OFF-AWAKE. In this state the modules are constantly checking for a change status message on the serial data circuits and can respond to both local inputs and serial data inputs from other modules on the vehicle.

IF battery voltage is above 12.2 volts, I'd suspect a bad IGN switch

Hey. Your problem look to be a battery concert.
if you are sure of the battery is Ok.
Remove the Battery terminal inspect and clean.
And put back the teminals. Tight a little hard.
because one of the problems on this kind if vehicles are the battery conncetions. That came in misscontact.
After all of this . Check all the fuses Include the MEGA FUSES.
Replace as need. with the same rating.

Check the Red wire going to the fuse block. If is nessesary
Go to the autopart and buy a test light.

OK.... I hope this can be a start prosses to fix your car.

SOURCE: the ignition won't turn for a 2003 gmc yukon denali

make sure the wheels are straight.. if you park them with them turned to one side the steering column is under a bind.... if they are turned all the way to the right you will for example have to turn it a little to the left to release pressure as you turn the key...

I have seen many ign switchs. Check to see if the theft doesn't flash when you try to start. It is still posable that the starter is going. Have someone crank the engine. Check for power on the purple wire. If there is power and the it does not crank. Check that the big wire has a soild 12 volts. You can use a screw driver and jump the purple and the big 12v battery at the starter and it should turn on if not replace the starter

2007 Nissan Maxima. Car unlocks, ignition locked.

Because you removed the fob battery and further compounded by the fact you disconnected the vehicle battery, the complete lock system and the anti-theft immobilizer system needs reprogramming. I am undecided whether a locksmith or an electrician is better, but would suspect the auto locksmith.

The car should always be started with a proper chipped key. The valet key on my car has a chip in its credit card style case. It will start the car if the case is close, or you can give the key to someone just to gain entry to the car and not start it.

Bought a clicker for my son's used 2003 Hyundai Tiburon (base) we just purchased. He keeps the clicker, I went to open the door with my key, and the car went into crazy mode. I put the key in th

It happens a lot for the Tiburon apparently....what you have to do is put the key in the ignition whilst the horn is going nuts, turn the key to the "on" position and wait a minute or so for the horn to stop blowing. Then press the "unlock" button on the fob until you see the turn signals flash. try turning the key over and see if it will start up. If it doesn't, try again, same thing only turn the key all the way off and try starting as normal again. I can't remember if it's the "unlock" or "lock" button you're supposed to press, but one of them does it. Test it while in the car and see if it locks when you hit lock on the fob.....oh, and also make sure all the doors are shut while you are doing this. It recalibrates the fob to the car's computer and resets your security system and keyless entry.

I changed my car battery, now my 2008 Nissan Altima key fob won't work

There is a special procedure involved in keying your fob to your car once the battery has been changed. You must lock and open the door with your key. Turn the ignition to "on"(not start) then push the fob's open and close button, then shut off ignition. This procedure is done everything the key battery is changed. Hope this can help you!

Won't start, could it be fob or engine?

Try not using the fob at all open the door with the key. And start the jeep if it works without issue then its the fob. If its still not working correctly remove the battery from the fob and try again(since if it was damaged could be sending the signal for the panic button) the next step is the key try your spare security key can become worn and cause issues with the antitheft system. After that it only leaves computer problems and those can get spendy

Program a remote key for 03 A6

I have an A4 and did this to re-program my key:

1. used the key to start the car...then turned it off
2. put the key in the driver door (door closed)
3. pressed the lock button on the key fob once
4. turned the key to lock the door.

This is basically the steps in the owners manual, but the car must be started with the key first, and the key must be in the door lock before pressing the lock button.
