Trouble starting -

Hey fellas, last night I think I left the radio on after a long drive for about an hour in my garage untill I realized it didn't shut off when the car was off... Oddly enough this morning I tried to start it with the only key that works and it was going into auxilary mode but just was not starting- the battery was fine but it sounded like it was not even trying to crank over. Any idea? I was going to disconnect the battery for a little and see if that helps. Thanks in advanced

The radio stays on with the car turned off?

As i recall, you can either charge the battery overnight of course OR you insert the KEY and turn it to the LEFT (counter-clockwise) and hold it there. You might eventually hear a click as this 'links' the two batteries (helps to add 'extra' power to start the car). Then try starting the car.

Please try that and let us know if it works. Hope this helps.

So after flipping through the Owners manual for a brief minute, I located both batteries and disconnected the Negative terminal on the left side battery for about 30 seconds, and soon as I reconnected the terminal, the car was able to turn over... Im gonna ask my local tech what he thinks- So this does not have to happen again.

Salerno, thanks for posting the solution. Interesting as in my manual it states to use the key method. Always glad to learn a new 'work around' just in case.
