Hi guys,
My car won't start at all. I left my house for a minute to pick someone up and had no problems. When I tried to leave there, it wouldn't start and I had major electrical issues. My sunroof won't close, my lights go dim whenever I attempt to start it, etc.
I had the battery pulled and it's totally charged. I checked the fuses on the side panel and they're fine.
I have a bad lock cylinder on the driver's side door. I've read that having a bad lock cylinder can trick the security system into thinking that the car hasn't been unlocked manually, thus not allowing it to start. Dunno if there's any merit to it or not.
The only other weird thing I've noticed is that when I unlock the door I can unlock all 4 doors with just one turn of the key instead of two. Dunno if it's important, just figured I'd include the information.
Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to at least close the sunroof before it rains today. haha
