Every now and then, whenever I try starting my car - nothing is happening. It's like 1/10 is the only chance it starts. It is the triptonic automatic trans. New battery. When trying to start the car, I only hear clicks around shifter or ecu area. My previous experience with the car not starting was solve by pressing the button on the very right side of the shifter that allows me to switch to other gear without the key on. Tried changing gear from P to D and back and forth. And first attempt started the car. But now, I tried everything, wiggle it, switch back and forth but still not starting. Also this might be helpful but at normal startup, it takes about 5 cranks/cycles to finally start the car (like the engine turns 5 times then start, not 5 times of ignition-on). Anything should I check? Fuel is full btw. BAttery is good as well as cables are nice clean and tight. Need help. The car started this morning before work but dont want this to happen again after work. I dont wanna get stuck here.
PS: The P is highlighted(boxed) when in park gear, same with the others, so I am not sure if it is the park gear indicator thats preventing the car from starting.
