04 CVT wont start
Has anyone had this happen, I didn't see it during the search...
This morning I went out to start the car and well, I ended up taking the wife's.
The engine wouldn't crank, I don't even think the computer allowed it to try. I don't think it is the battery though because when the key was turned once, the computer looked normal. It cycled through my miles to service then total (20k), the temp read normally (76*), lights everywhere. Yet when I threw it into the start position, my headlights flashed on/off, I think my turn indicators flashed, the doors locked/unlocked, the radio when completely static, the temp read 33*'s, and the a/c (which was on, set to auto) began to flow but nothing to the engine. Returning the key to position resulted in normal operation (temp, radio, lights off, etc). By the way I could also still run the windows during this also.
The car has been perfect til now. It is 22 months old. I saw in other threads questions about petrol, the gas has been in the car for about a hundred miles and one week so thats not it.
Any guesses?

Now that would be truely odd if true.
This car hasn't indicated any battery issues at all. It is my daily driver and sat for just the overnight. Plus the fact I live in the desert and the overnight temp was about 70ish. Weird.
Its too late to try jumping it though. Roadside has it now and the dealer will have to look into it.
