I attempted to start my car today and only turned the key 3/4 of the way and the motor didn't crank, but a whine noise came from the glove box area. Either there is a small animal in my glove box or the ecu started talking?

Anyone hear that before. Only notice it when the car doesn't get a good crank.

I've heard it before. It's probably just a relay that is making that noise. Did you get the car started up, or is it dead?

If you remember.... is it the same noise that happens when you crank and crank... then when it fires..... then stalls... there is a HUMMMMMM CHK CHK CHK noise?

Cause that's is ringing a bell in my head... starter relay would be lower I think. not glove box

Eather battery is not fully charged/securly connected or the well known starter contacts failure



ART

could be the starter relay, the relay is a green one, by the blower motor behind/under the glovebox area on the right kick panel.

I heard that was related to the ISC valve, if I remember right...
