Let us know of your progress.

Well, "duh" on me and thank you.

It just so happens that I put in a new set of embroidered thick mats about two weeks ago. I just got home from work and checked the mat and found that it slid up about 1-2 inches- probably enough to have caused the initial disconnect this morning. I moved the mat back and put in the "old" key and the car started right up.

Hopefully that solves the problem.

Thanks Marty!
