BigBuggie Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Ok, So my previous issue (when ignition is turned to start, no cranking, no click, nothing what so ever, dash is fully lit) happened a few more times late yesterday and today. After fueling up last night I twisted the key and nothing. For the next 5 min or so I tried a total of 20-30 times and nothing, messed with the terminals- nothing. Put her in neutral and boom. Early this morning, same thing, Went to pepboys to grab some tire and leather cleaner, ready to go and got nothing. After about 3 min I remembered last time about the neutral thing. Threw it in N and bang. About 5 minutes ago, Working on a new ignition LED (via LEXLS, works great). After I finish, I want to put her back in the garage same deal, Only this time I put it in N after the 2nd try.....In business. So, I guess I should be thankful that it is not the starter......Right ? A gentleman mentioned earlier something about a Park position sensor, Hopefully it's an easy fix Thanks, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bali26 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hey Pete, You can remove the console and clean up and lube the gear lever mechanism you know. I did it. Found a lot of spilled thick coffee and some other junk. Then i greased the whole thing. lexs has a tutorial on his site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBuggie Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Thanks guys, Am I looking for how to install an after market shifter? Or is there a tutorial specifically for cleaning that area? Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexinva Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I'm having the exact same problem- when I shift into Neutral, she fires right up. I looked at Lexls site as well as searching this one, and still can't find the info for cleaning the switch. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

BigBuggie Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 hey buddy. I just used the tutorial for instaling an aftermarket shifter to get in there and cleaned and WD'd everything. It still does it but no where near as frequently. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some crumbs etc from the P.O., so hopefully I'll get lucky and the cleaning will solve my problem. Thanks Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitelexus Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Are you guys telling me it may not have been necessary to replace the starter? Ouch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would cause such a condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
