Q45 starting problem

[jbnl163]

My 2002 Q45 occasionally will not start. I have full battery power, lights and accessories will come on, but the engine won't turn over. If I pull the key fob out and wait, then try again it starts right up. Has anyone else experienced this? Sometimes I have to try several times.

Your starter may be going bad. Next time you see the problem happening, have someone tap on it with a heavy metal object such as a lug tool while key is being held in start postion. If it jumps to life, then it's your starter.
