I am hoping someone on the forum can help, because I can't figure out what is going on with my car. I think there is a problem with the electronic key, but am not sure and now the car won't start. Here is the problem:
1. I have the electronic key FOB (don't need to insert in the ignition and should detect presence wirelessly) on a 2011 Mazda CX9
2. When I was stopped at my spot I went out to check my parking job and then came back into the car to turn the car off. When I turned it off, it didn't seem like the ignition knob turned all the way into the off position.
3. Now the when I turn the ignition the lights come on, but the car won't start up again (engine makes no noise). The car battery is fine (lights work, horn works). The battery on the key seems to be ok since the red light blinks.
4. When I exit the car and close the door, the car beeps 6 times and the KEY indicator flashes red.
5. When I open the car door again, the car just beeps until I close the door.
6. The alternative electronic key and manual keys don't work either to lock/unlock or start car.
I am hoping someone has some ideas. Seems like the car didn't detect the key in my pocket or something when I turned off the car and now I am not sure how to get it to reset. Thanks!
