Default H3 wont start. Stay tuned

H3 wont start, parked for an hour and wont fire, just turns over. Going to take it in right now. I guess I have a forced second ecounter with Hummer of Cerritos. We'll see how well they do this time. Any ideas why? Anybody have this issue before?

I haven't personally, do you have any aftermarket stero equip installed? Anything that might drain power during a long sitting period? This and just a bad build are the 2 culprits I've seen from reading the forums. I hope your problem is the former.

Its not battery drainage. Its turns over. There is no spark. Its has to be ignition issues. I dont have anything aftermarkert on the car, stereo, nav, lights, nothing. I am going through fuses right now to see if it is something stupid otherwise Im going to the dealer. thanks though.

Am I going crazy? It just started. I f-ed around with some of the fuses and the shifter a bit, and it started up. I sware I tried to turn it over about 5 times with no fire, came inside and posted and called the stealership and went back out and it started. WTF? Hopefully it doesnt happen again. No codes, lights or anything. Who knows. Gremlins?

Is that a common problem? So a wiggle of the key if it happens again or what?

I've heard of issues with the fusebox coming loose, not making good contact.

I don't think I'd want to wait and see if it happens again. Next opportunity I'd make my way to the dealer and have them check it out. Mention the sensor. What if it happens while you're out of town and jiggling the key doesn't make it fire?

Sounds more like a theft system concern. There will possibly be a code stored if it's a theft system problem. If there aren't any codes, the dealer isn't going to find anything wrong unless it acts up when they have it.

That is the only thing I was worried about. I cant duplicate the problem, and I didn't get a CEL or error code so I dont know.
