Those in the Northwest might be able to help here, or anyone who has been living with wet and wild weather period. My car is parked under a carport, that is open but somewhat protected from the wind and rain, Go to work and it sits in the open where wind and rain pummel it in a regular basis, as has been the case in Oregon for 6 months now and I get off work in the down pours or right after and when I go to start my baby the starter drags and does not start easily. It has happened often enough the last 2 months and have narowed it down to rain blowin in under the hood and getting something wet it enough to cause the starter to drag on initial crank. Any suggestions on "what" part under the hood that is getting wet and can I block it ? Thanks. Will check back later here to see what if anything can be done.
I don't consider this at all thread jumping and appreciate finding out about any problem with starting issues on the 07. This last time was last week and after not starting and my electronics going nuts on the 3rd try, I called a tow truck. The guy got there and suggested jump starting it. I said YOU do it, I'll stand out in the pouring down rain while you try and start it. After a couple minutes, it fired right up. He said it was either the battery OR battery connection or some other electrical issue. I make sure that nothing is on when I shut it down when I get home and let it run for about 2 minutes before I turn the key off. So far it has fired right up and with improving weather am hoping its a done deal for problems. If not.........grrr.......
