Yeah, I like old school because it's much more reliable. Anything electronic is bound to fail.

So if I take the battery out then try it should work? I tried with the battery still in the keyfob.

Yes, the fob will work without a battery by touching the switch.

Yes. But the key fob (actually just the RFI chip within the fob) needs to be within range of the pushbutton RFI transceiver. That means about an inch or less. The owner's manual instructs you to use the fob to depress the pushbutton.

I watched the YouTube video and did the same, but as I mentioned before, left the battery in the fob. Maybe I needed to try more than I did until it started.

Oh boy, just wait until you find out what’s on the back side of that “old school” key and lock cylinder.

If the ignition cycles from off to acc to run, it is detecting the key just fine. It isn’t detecting the brake pedal being pushed. Push harder.

I didn't, but it started right up with the spare keyfob.

Coincidence

Prove it.

 

[mwilk012]

Prove it.

Disprove it?

Oh I see, it’s my biggest fan. The ignition can’t cycle from off to run without detecting the key. It isn’t the key.

Disprove it?

It's your theory; the onus is on you to prove it. Waiting .....

Have you ever stopped to consider whether your posts add value to the topic at hand?

Strike a nerve @mwilk012 that caused you to "Ignore" me? Like @Rhinebeck01?

You and @Rhinebeck01 can dish it, but you can't take it, can you? Pathetic.

Re the below; have you? I don't think so.

Yes, I suspect that it's a pedal issue for the same reasons. I was pressing pretty hard.

This has been a relatively common problem over the years.
