I believe I'm having trouble with the S4's security system. Intermittently, it won't start. I turn the key, all the dash lights are lit up beautifully, but nothing happens when I try the starter. When I get out of the car, the alarm goes off. I can use the key to turn it back off, but the car still won't start. I believe it has been immobilized by the alarm.

So, I rip up the back seat, disconnect the battery, reconnect and everything works fine, for about a week or three. This has been going on for about 3 months.

I had replaced the battery with a Spiral Cell but I beleieve that this problem was the reason for replacing the battery in the first place.

Possible quick and easy fix - ignition switch.

I have to Jiggle and goof with the steering wheel sometimes to get it to turn.

Have you had a similar experience with the switch?

They are all crap. Any time you have electrical gremlins, change the switch first.

Alarm is still activated.Check for conections on your central locking control module(next to batery)

I'll do that. I sure feel like it has something to do with the alarm system.
