Help: batteries?
Went out to start the beast the other morning and nothing, no lights no
start nothing. Proceeded to connect battery charger and after about
30 min. car started. Didnt drive it just left the charger on it for about
another hour. Came back later and put my battery tender on it and left it that way for a couple of days. car sits most of the time, only gets driven
3 or 4 times a month, new main batterry april 06. go out today and turn the key on everything comes on but starter will not even initialize (no click). check main battery 12.7 volts. key will not lock or unlock doors.
keyless go inop as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Are you using keyless-go to start the car or just sticking the key in the ignition? I had one strange occurrence with a brand new key/remote where the Keyless Go would not work until I locked, unlocked, and manually started the car with the new key. The problem never returned.

Have only been using the key at this point. Locked and unlocked the car
several times with both keys. I'll go out and check keyless though. I can unlock car with key in my pocket. that didn't work . Is there a starter fuse? Everyting works, just no crank.
