I have a 2005 Ion-2, standard transmission. Yesterday I put the key in, stepped on the clutch and turned the key. Engine would not turn over. The passlock light lit when key turned to 'on' and stayed lit.
After a few tries and some contemplation I stepped on the brake and the clutch. The car started. After that it was OK.
Any ideas? There are some threads on a chronic Passlock problem, how can I tell if that's it?
Thanks!
