Hey guys - another chapter in the never ending saga. Ended up not using my newly ordered Tazer because now I have new issues. I have a strange intermittent starting issue where it sometimes takes a few button pushes to start it, and sometimes the red immobilizer light on the dash won't go out after a starting attempt. What makes it even stranger is that my remote start works fine. ZERO issues if I use the remote start, but if I use the push button, with or without pushing it with my FOB, it sometimes starts right up, and other times, fights me. Both of my batteries are new (less than 6mo old), connections are tight, and I'm driving more so the voltage is right where it should be. I had an ESS error a few weeks ago, but it went away on it's own. Now this. I haven't changed my FOB battery, so I'm thinking that MIGHT be it, but I don't know. I'm really getting annoyed at this point.

Edit: just changed FOB battery and it still is acting weird.
