My car no longer starts (Resolved)
Good morning,
My car having not been running for a while, I put the battery with the charger in for maintenance. When I want to start it it tells me "put in park" it is in parking mode, it does not start and the meter needles go up and down as if the engine was running! In addition, I have a warning "Stabilitrak" and "attention power steering drive carefully" I don't know what that means. If you have an idea. |

Sounds like the battery isn’t charged all the way or is t holding a charge. If it is the original battery it might be time for a replacement. You could try disconnecting the battery for 10 minutes. Reconnect and try again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

One tip I was told on this forum was to put it in service mode before starting for the first time after reinstalling the battery. Full credit to @Gunkk. I had my car in the garage all winter with the battery removed. Last week I reinstalled the battery (had it on a trickle/float charger on my workbench) and followed his instructions to hold the start button with foot off brake/clutch. It went into service mode. Turned it off, then started the car as normal. No electrical gremlins.
My buddy who has a C7 Vette was dealing with stabilitrak issues and eventually tracked it down to a battery that wasn't holding a charge probably. New battery eliminated his issues. Lots of stuff in these newer cars is tied to the batteries. Hope this helps! Worth a shot, anyway. |

She recognizes the keys. I have warnings: Photo 1: you are the number 1 driver Photo 2: necessary action, switch to parking mode (I'm already there) Photo 3: Stabilitrak service (I don't drive) You were right, it's the battery that isn't holding a charge. Thanks for your help ! |
