I’ve owned my 2013 V8V (With Sportshift) for 2 weeks now. At first I thought I just didn’t know what I was doing... But I am pretty sure this is not normal!

I have to push the key in and out 5x before the electrics will catch and unless I push the ECU in as SLOW as possible it won’t fire the engine.

I have tried with the break pedal depressed and it doesn’t work as good as if I don’t touch the break until I hear the engine trying to crank.

Last night I thought I was stranded. Tried the starting procedure 20-30x before it finally worked.

The electrics don’t even start up at all unless I seem to push the key at just the right angle.

The glass key locks/unlocks the car perfectly. But I can’t even start the car with it. Only the Valet key works for ingnition.

Any insight?

 

I had a similar issue with my 2012 V12.... had to replace the ignition module

 

AM have a replacement ignition module on order for my V12 also, for the same issue

Have either of you got to the point where it would not start at all?

Im hoping not to get stranded!

 

Make sure you have foot on the brake, N selected, then two flat finger push to flush position, then red light should illuminate. Then final push to start position and release. If you don't see a red light, either you aren't doing it right, or it could be a bad module.

 

I never got stranded..however it was getting progressively worse...I knew there was an issue that needed attention.

Never stranded but mine isn't as bad as you describe. Happens maybe 1 time in 3 or 4 that it won't start

hope u get it sorted
