Hello All:

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

I decided to put my curious scientific mind aside and make yet another change to the dynamic by installing the push-button starter kit from SWEM.

Let me say that if you have not done this already, do it. I wish everything in life was this affordable, clearly documented and satisfying.

After installing it the problem SEEMS to have gone away - knock on wood and all that. We broke a couple keys in that ignition so I think that could have had something to do with the issue. Not sure if these things are related but the car has now started for four straight days without issue or needing a charge so I have my fingers crossed.

I loved the story about the push-button solenoid start on the old Ford. Cool idea if you are still required to have a key to make it run.

If the trouble returns I will try the jump start suggestion.

Cheers,

Pooch
