I have a recurring but intermittent no-start issue on my ‘06 LR3 V6 gasoline.
Thought I would have fixed it by replacing starter two years ago. Ended up much harder than expected of course.... Issue was still there, I suspected the key and proved this was not it. Issue went away, happen in dead cold January and did not happen for the past four months until this morning. In both cases (Jan and this AM and the previous time I remember), issue happened after a drive (stop for gas or pick up food).
Symptoms:
- when you turn the key in the ignition, you hear a click in the passenger foot well (I assume it’s a relay)
- nothing else happens
- after a few stop-start cycle with the key, it usually engages the starter.
This morning, I had two keys with me, so I can confirm this is not a key-related problem.
Of course, this seems to happen when I’m wearing nice clothes and without tools. So, I don’t have much to add at this time.
How would you troubleshoot this?
