mine would not start recentley. It just went click click click and stopped. turned out to be the reverse lockout switch... so just jiggle the shifter and put it from P to D a couple of times and mine started... hope this helps

(this was the first time in 249K miles it wouldnt start except for when I left the interior lights on while away for vacation and the battery obvioulsly drained )
