Ok I drove me car to work. When I came out to leave the. I turned the key it clicked like the battery was ded but the lights were bright. So I had someone try to jump me it didn't work. The next day I read online about sometimes that car sad ignition problems and the whigle the key. I put the key in normaly and turned it started. But now everytime it startes it seems like that battery is low so I just bought a battery and am going to put it in. I am just looking for a nother answer incase this dosn't work.

Thanks
John

Hello, make sure all battery connections are good on both ends. I'd have to check the voltage circuits at the starter. It could be the starter itself?

It could also be in the ignition itself if U have to wiggle the key. When the contacts inside the ignition start to wear down u'll get that sometimes good start - sometimes no start issue.
