Wierd happening today
2001 SE Auto w/ 50k mls. Parked the car today--in P not N--went back out to start and got nothing when I turned the key (radio, lights, etc worked but didn't start--no sound when key turned). Let it sit for about an hour, went back out, turned the steering wheel a bit and it started. Anybody have any idea why this happened. It's my wife's car and I don't want her getting stranded somewhere.
thanks

Either the neutral safety switch is going or you didn't put the shifter completely in park. Next time it happens, pressing the brake pedal shift it out of park and back in to make sure it makes good contact.

if that happens again heres what to do so you dont have to wait:
-turn the key to the last position, like you were starting it, btu dotn actually start it
-with foot on the brake just move the selector through the gears from P to 1 (doesn't have to be slow or anything, just quickly) and then back from 1 to P
-try to start it again
this same thing happened to me, and thats what i did and do every time it doesn't start and it works fine for me....but let me know if it works if it happens again?

Unfortunately that trick didn't work either. Bought a new battery and installed but that wasn't it. Now when I try to start it, I get a "click" and then nothing at all...but lights, etc still work. Anyone else have any ideas?
