we need an auto repair advice sub-forum!
happy bye week, guys!

i have another interesting problem with my 06 toyota matrix...

this is apparently an intermittent problem, but when i turn the key i get nothing, like the key turns but the car seems to thinks it is not in park...

i tried shifting and tried park and neutral and nothing...

so i have it towed to the auto electric shop and the poor guy tries to get it to fail so he could be sure what needs to be fixed...

he never could get it to fail, so i go and pick it up...

we drive to dinner and back home (maybe 20 miles total) and everything's fine...

until the next day when we go out to start it, it not only won't start like before...

now i can't move the gear shift at all...

Is the ignition system getting power? Dash lights and stuff coming on. Or is it that the starter does not engage ?

everything is normal (lights, horn, door window buttons, dash lights) except that when you turn the key it acts like it's not in park, nothing changes, no noise, no dimming lights, nothing...

the auto electric guy couldn't get it to do that for a full day, but as soon as we parked it in our driveway, same thing again...

I'm not that familiar with those Toyotas but I'd be looking at the starter relay in the power distribution center under the hood or at the starter itself.

I think we should have an auto/home sub forum. Get rid of something like the tickets sub forum.

Plus if any of these auto mechanics are in the Kansas City metro area I would rather give them my business as I feel they would be honest and give me a reasonable bill versus taking it to just any auto mechanic and you don't know if you're getting the big shaft or not.

I hated all mechanics until I met Sauto on here.

I'm thinking of flying him in for all the work my car needs.

He's that good.

He's as good as you're ever going to get as far as I'm concerned.

Only way to fix that is sink it in a river and report it stolen.

Years ago we had issues with the neutral safety switches but I have no idea if they still use them on newer cars.
