98 RR SE Wont Start - 5/18/2007 10:22:48 PM    RCHILDRESS   Posts: 7 Joined: 12/31/2006 Status: offline I am having issues with my 98SE RR. I drove it into town today and did some shopping for the house but when I got ready to leave 2 hours later it wouldnt start. I left the windows cracked assuming I would only be out of it for a few, but you know ho wthat goes. Well now it wont turn over I have a felling that it has something to do with the alarm I did see someone leaning on it while holding a conversation with someone in a near by parking spot. I was going to replace the starter, but I took a jumper cable and ran it to the smaller starter cable and it turned but didnt start even while a friend turned the key to the start position (3). Well I also tried disconnecting the battery for 30 minues but that did nothing except loose my programmed stations in the radio (glad I remembered that code). If any one has some advice I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks rc rqchildress@bellsouth.net Post #: 1

Look in your owners manual and follow the procedure for reprograming your remote first. Then try and start it, if it still won't turn over try jump starting to the battery.
