Took the Z8 to Costco the other day and upon returning and attempting to start the key would only move about 1/8th of an inch and not turn the car on. I sat there for 30 minutes try to start it until I finally gave in and called a tow. Tow got there and they were able to turn the steering wheel with out it locking. While the driver was getting the ramps set up I decided to try one last time and it started!
is this a key battery issue or more serious? I’m not ruling out the key as of now because while the car was being moved out of the parking space the key was in the ignition so I’m thinking there is a chance that the key battery was just low and leaving it in the ignition charged it enough to start the car. The doors were unlocking and locking with the key buttons, so that’s where I’m having doubts. Anyone have a similar experience?
