I just bought it 2 days ago. Whenever I leave it off for a long time it will not start up again when I'm ready to go. The key goes all the way to the starting position but the engine light and a light with a car and a lock appears. This wont let the engine start, it kind of makes a clicking noise. It is not the battery I bought a new one yesterday. Sometimes after 10-20 min of attempts it will start and other times the light with the carlock flashes and the car completely shuts down. Then I have to reconnect the battery to get electricity going again..but this does not solve my problem...HELP!!!?
