if the starter is like the starter on the 1997 then it has an internal solenoid that has connections that goes bad. very simple to fix, only cost about 3 dollars for the replacement parts. only problem is getting the starter out of it's spot in the engine compartment if you don't have it up on a lift.
RKE, remote keyless entry. That message in the cluster means that either a remote is failing, or the battery in it is weak.
If the ignition shuts down, however you can still crank the engine. This issue could be fuel or ignition related. Fuel Pump Relay failing. Overload Relay failing. Fuel Pump failing. Distributor Cap failing. Distributor Rotor failing. Ignition Coil failing. Ignition Wire Set failing. Reference Sensor failing.
Car batteries are quite complex, and can have a multitude of problems internally. Failing to start up, corroding connections, and clicking noises are various common car battery problems.
It does fit what happens when the starter is failing.
AnswerDid you buy the battery from new or was it a spare? Clicking sound when trying to turn key in ignition is usually low battery. The radio and lights may still work for a few minutes if there is enough charge left but the engine wont turn over. Turn off all lights, alarm and radio - wait 20minutes and try to turn engine over. Or failing that do what I've said below:Get someone to jump start your car with jumper leads. Once its running, drive your car around for half hour to one hour to re-charge battery. If fault isn't with battery then it could be alternator or spark plugs. Dodgy spark plugs can cause the car not to start.AnswerYou probably have a loose connection or corrosion. Clean battery terminals and ends of wires.Answertry the starter solenoidAnswerMake sure your battery posts are clean and the cable connectors are clean & tight. If this is not problem don't have another answer.ANSWERYou might have to replace the ignition swith.
If the ignition isn't firing then you're looking at an electrical problem: Bad spark plugs, distributor, cables or battery. If you're frequently draining your battery and needing jump starts, the alternator could be failing as well.
The battery acid is leaking out, either do to a failing battery or do to an alternator that is over charging.
Your battery is probably failing and trying to explode.
The ideal way is to read them with a scan tool, fix the problem , and then reset them with the scan tool. Failing that you can unhook the battery and reset the codes until the failure reoccurs.
May be a loose or corroded battery cable Could be a weak battery Most likely starter solenoid is failing
any special battery
Very good.
