If I disconnect the battery then reconnect the battery it will cnank two more times then start then die!!! Good grief this is really frustrating. Any ideas besides call for the hook?
Well, I didn't want to tell you the "rest of the story". But when my car did EXACTLY the same thing yours is doing, it had a battery that wasn't holding a full charge, so the dealer replaced it under warranty.
Oh, (I almost forgot) after having my car in the dealers service department for nearly two months (and replacing practically everything they could) it still wouldn't run for more than a couple seconds then it would quit.
Well a vey good service tech figured it out, and it turned out to be the muffler was totally plugged up with a forign substance. A mouse decided to store his winter supply of dog food in my muffler while I had my car parked for 4 months.
But I'm sure lighting couldn't strike twice.
Possibly "Sentry Key Remote Entry Module"....(aka) "SKREEM" Along the lines James1549 mentioned.
Don't worry about wasting money on the battery....that was still money well spent. My battery died 4 years after the car was built.
