Clockspring? Ignition Switch?
Hi All;
2001 Grand Voyager 3.3L about 115K.
My wife was stranded this morning when she got in the van and nothing happened when turning the key. Well, almost nothing. Upon removing the key there were strange buzzing and clicking noises that would not stop, key in or out of the ignition.
When I got home I found that the battery terminals were quite corroded, so I cleaned them up, but the issue persists.
About 2 weeks ago the airbag light had come on and I was able to see that there was a recall involving the clockspring. Is it possible that this too is related?
It also seems a bit weird how the instrument panel will flicker on and off, and the strange noises don't seem to correlate to any particular key position. Might this be something with the key/Ignition Switch?
If indeed it is a low battery (after reading around this forum it seems that this may also be the root), will a simple jump get it going?
Thanks for any help you can provide in diagnosing/repairing.
