Vehicle refuses to start, new battery, jumping, etc nothing seems to work except frustration caused me to hit the dash and it started!

Hitting the dash worked for only so long. Had entire cluster replaced, worked fine for about five months, then all started all over again.

Read on other sites about SKIS, but your site seemed more in tune with my real issues. Can you tell me more about SKIS?

Help!

Try resetting your security system if no owners manual look online for your car on how to do it. It may need to be scanned by a professional with a professional grade scanner to see if there is something wrong with it which I suspect there may be.

That is a good one hit the dash then it starts reminds my of Fonzy from happy days.
