I can tell you for a fact it is not the antenna ring. I bought one today, installed it and still the same thing....no start.

There are some clicking of relays but nothing tries to engage the starter solenoid.

I can see the one electrical lug on the solenoid and a few days ago I sprayed it with PB blaster hoping that perhaps that was the corroded connection. There has to be another connector but I can't see it from the front of the engine.

A few years ago my son's Saturn L200 started the same problem. He is a college student, short on funds. I took a remote push button hand starter switch, attached it to the solenoid and routed it to a safe place under the hood. Now to start his car he has to put the key in position III, open the hood, push the button and the car starts.

From searching the Internet my situation is not unusual. As Mr Gimpy I can only do so much and this may be a time that the car has to be towed for someone else to do the work. Could even be a key and that would call for a VIDA key update.
