Default Help!

Ok, I got my car back from LGM yesterday after I had the G5 cam install/ stall/ computer tune. It's been running fine all yesterday. I went to leave for work this morning, it started up fine. I was about half way to work when I forgot something and had to come back. I noticed one of my blinkers was out, so I out in an extra bulb i had. after that, I turned my car off to run inside. Afterwards, i came out and it won't start. the power comes on but it won't start, or even try to. The battery and alternator are fine. I disconnected the battery and re-connected it...still won't start. any ideas?

Did you try your other ignition key, sometimes the chip can go bad or get dirty.

Glad you got it fixed, never heard of a fuse for a gauge that wouldn't let a car start, what fuse was it?

Im a schmuck and didn't notice that my gauges (speedo etc) weren't coming on with the rest of the electrical. We replaced it and it started right up.

kinda funny, my friends brother is a GM tech in chicago who works mainly on vettes, we called him to see, one of his suggestions was to get under the car and hit the starter with a hammer while trying to crank it over.....just thought it was funny coming from a tech. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
