First random dozen times was a once one click no start, but then car started. Then it took several try's until a start, until now with none. Once after several attempts, used other fob and car started first try!? After one day of no start, battery power gone. Using booster pack, get power but no start. Either one click or very minimum turn over with boost. Have not tried jumping.
