My 2008 2.4L is having a failure to start issue. It has had the problem off and on of a really slow start (engine turns over very slowly and eventually starts). However, this week the problem changed and I haven't been able to figure it out. Here are the conditions:
1. The battery is fully charged, pretty new (3 months), and test at two different locations.
2. I've checked the grounds in the engine bay and all are good contact.
3. I've swapped out several relays in the fuse box on the run/crank positions.
4. I've done the key security reset procedure 3 times.
5. When the key is turned on, the security light comes on for 4 seconds, then goes off. No other lights work on the dash. Gauge lights, warning lights, etc. The info LED panel reads Solstice, then goes to Service Air Bag.
6. After attempting to start, dash lights go back to the same accept the gauge needles cycle.
7. The car was at a body shop last week for a rear bumper replacement. I assume the battery was unhooked for a while.
8. The day I picked it up it started slowly for a while, then developed the current condition.
Need to note: this car was a rebuild. It was hit in the right front and straightened/repaired before I bought it. I do not believe it was under water, however, it could have been sitting outside for a while. It also did not have a splash shield installed when I got it.
What could be causing this? Are there grounding points I've missed? Is the BCM dead? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
