Ther is no pattern, sometimes it works the first time, and sometimes you have to turn on and off many times. The second issues is that when you hook OBD code scanner up to unit, there is no comunnication. And it will not pass emissions. I think the two problems are connected, just not sure in what way yet. My head is spinning. I have done all the basics, checked fuses and relays. Anyone out there that can help ?!?!?!?!
Do any of the other lights come on when ignition switch is turned to on?? (brake light, door light, etc) Sounds like a igniton switch problem to me.
