Tried holding buttons on key fob to reset, no good. Wont even jump start, but a short bump and away we go, this has happened several times (WIFE) What is the prob, it seem to be a security feature of some sort ONLY HAPPENS WHEN KEY IS INSERTED INTO IGNITION BUT NOT TURNED, ie, the phone rings before she turns the car on. For instance SHE OPENS THE CAR AND SITS IN AND INSERTS THE KEY INTO IGNITION, THEN THE PHONE GOES OR SOME DISTRACTION FOR A FEW MINS AND THATS IT ,CAR WON'T START
Check the fuse box for the starter relay, and pull out to check pins for corrosion / bad contact. The fact it start on a bump with the key on leads me to suspect the start / crank position of the electrics. Get a knowledgeable person to run through the crank circuit with a meter, also check the condition of earth straps and starter cables. Could be the ignition switch is faulty?
