Need some help please, my car is possessed Today I went to start my car (02 WS6 m6) pushed the clutch, turned the key dash lit up radio came on and my antenna even came up. But it didn't turn over or even attempt to, and not a sound came from under the hood. So I opened it up not sure what I was gonna see and cranked it again and nothing still. So I closed the hood resolved to go borrow a code reader tried once once more and it fired right up. I have no idea except maybe a relay got stuck and my hood slamming did the trick. But other than that I got nothing. Anybody got some advice cause I don't want this to end up being a bigger problem than a fluke

Tighten your battery connections....I had the exact same problem but it was slamming my drivers door that did the trick....after a month of looking like an idiot opening and closing my door trying to get it to start I found the battery ground 1/4 loose. enough for everything else to work but not enough current flow for the alternator.

When ever you tried to turn it over did it drag everything down (powerwise)? If so, then yes check for corrosion or loose connections on battery. If not, I'm guessing your problem is more in a relay or starter.

Sorry for a late reply but my battery cables are tight boa279 and Z it didn't drag power down so my battery is good. It hasn't done it again so I think a relay got frozen open if that's possible, it has been pretty cold here lately.

check the resistance on your key pellet. go to radio shack and make a resistor pack wih that same resistance give or take10ohms. follow the orange tubed wire going down the steering column and plug the resistor pack into the back of the plug. try to start.
