ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:WIRING:FUSES AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
THE CAR WOULD NOT START EVEN THOUGH THE BATTERY WAS NOT DEAD. AFTER SWITCHING THE REMOTE ENTRY BACK AND FORTH FROM LOCK TO UNLOCK SEVERAL TIMES, THE ENGINE STARTED. THE ENGINE SIMPLY STOPPED WITHOUT WARNING SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS FROM 65 TO ABOUT 20MPH. THE DEALER CLAIMED A CONTACT IN THE FUSE BOX WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO MAKE SUFFICIENT CONTACT WITH THE FUSE. I ALSO SUSPECT THE ANTI-THEFT DEVICE OR IGNITION SWITCH MIGHT BE AT FAULT.*AK
