| Description of the problem | When i went to start vehicle the electrical system came on but did not turn the starter,this happened maybe twice last year. So far this year it has happened about 5 times. The electrical system comes on when i turn the key to start but nothing happens,i finally found out if i put my foot on the brake and take the transmission out of park and work it thru all gears then shove it back to park it will start. We travel up to the state of washington from home ever year and would hate to get stranded some where along the road. |
