The sad thing is , he has done that many times....Works for a few weeks than its back to the same crap....I even got a new key back in April....

I can't tell you how frustrating this is....I read somewhere if you pull fuse 43 it will start ? How about if I disconnect the battery wait a bit than reconnect it, would that help ?

Well, I'm going to try....
