Doesn't turn over at all. I get nothing when I turn the key, doesn't crank or fire. Lights all work and come on. In park. Tried locking and unlocking doors. Any ideas... maybe starter motor....don't think its battery. Before I unplug the battery, are there any precautions I should be aware of. I've read the stories on here about having the key in the ignition, etc... but don't really know what to expect on my c36. Thanks.:D

If the battery is dead shouldn't my lights not work? PLus its less than 6 months old. Keep in mind I haven't tested it yet, so later today i could feel pretty stupid if its oxidation on the terminals or some bullshit like that...
Could be the alarm lockout. Are both LED's on the mirror flashing? If so, try locking and unlocking the car with the key, not the I/R.

Ok....finally got it started.... in neutral. Neutral Safety switch is out or loose. Messed with it for a while and...... my car roars back to life. Now it starts in park, too. Will replace soon, but for now lesson learned.
