I recently bought the vehicle listed above, i has a keyless start, but the start button only turns on the ignition. I have never spoken to the previous owner, but the car was a steal, so I haven't bothered. To solve the issue of not starting with the onboard computer starting they have put in a separate button wired directly from battery to starter to get it going when you've turned on the ignition. There is no fault showing when I plug in my OBDII computer and everything else works as it should. 277,000 km on the dial approximately 172,000 miles.

It sounds like the starter relay (under-hood fuse panel) or the #5 fuse needs to be checked. It is located under the hood and the #27 fuse in the fuse panel on the left side of the dash.

This guide can help:

Also, I have included the starter wiring diagrams so you can see how the system works. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is. You can swap the relay out to test it or use this guide:

Let me know, Ken
