I turned the key and i heard several clicks but no start. I tried again, less clicks and no start. I tried again, no clicks and the electricity completely cut off. The key at this point was stuck in the ignition, i could turn it back and forth but could not turn it to the insertion point and remove it. My battery is new but i tried to jump it anyway. When connected to my battery, I touched the positive and negative clips together on the side meant for the other car. Instantly my electricity came back on and i could remove the key. I hooked the cables to the other car and let them sit for a second, tried to start the car and got nothing. When i removed the cables and tried again, the electricity went off again. The second time we hooked up the cables and shocked the system the electricity came back on. I wiggled the automatic shifter and was able to start the car. Drove it home and turned it off and basically repeat everything above except this time when i wiggled the shifter it didn't work. With the electricity back on i was able to put the shifter into neutral but was unable to move the car on flat ground. But then after trying the key again it suddenly cranked up. I drove around a bit and parked it again and it cranked up again. I know this is gonna happen to me somewhere else around town real soon and hope someone may have some opinions. I bought a new ignition switch when i went for a spin, but i have not tried it out yet. Also, when i went to the auto parts store, the reader showed no codes at all. This happened to me a long time ago and it was the battery. Within the past few months i have put in a new battery and also cleaned the throttle body to fix the slow idle speeds and engine stall i was getting after the battery had been replaced. Within a week or so i have replaced the relay switch for the low beams, as they were cutting off when i drove at night. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.
