  • Trouble starting car...

    I've recently started having trouble starting my car. I'm in New Jersey, and it has been colder lately. Basically, these are my scenarios:
    *Turn Key, car doesn't crank but battery turns on radio, fan, etc. "Security" light comes on dash and stays for a few minutes. The second it goes off, I turn the key and everything starts up fine.
    **Turn key, car cranks for a second, stops for a split second, and starts cranking again (key was turned the entire time) and starts up.
    ***Turn key, car cranks for 5-7 seconds and starts up.

    Any ideas, or is my car just getting old and tired?

    Thanks all,
    Dave

      ur post is kind of confusing but if ut security is coming on and when it goes off your able to start the car it sounds like to me u need a new key.

        The security light sounds like a worn out key/ignition cylinder problem.

        The other two may be a ignition switch going bad.

            Bad wire connection somewhere. Good luck finding it. :)
