Ignition start switch problem!

Hi guys,

I troubleshoot this issue since 2 weeks.
All interior equipment dead.
Ignition start switch problem:
1. Push and hold brake key fob near, push start, green LED blinking, no crank
2. Push and hold brake key fob on the start button green LED solid, engine starts after push
3. replaced both key fob batteries still the same issue

Could someone help me!

Have you ever replaced the 12v battery? I had similar behavior a few years ago with an Accord. Three different tests of the battery said it was fine. But these tests were done with the small hand held device like AutoZone and Advance uses for testing. When the battery was placed on a load tester it failed miserably when actually loaded. I would go to an old fashioned independent and have the battery tested.

The battery was replaced and I haven’t had any repeat issues.

The Battery is 2 months old don't think it is a battery issue!

Agree. Do you have a voltmeter so you could check the voltage while charging (at a fast idle). Also, engine off battery voltage might be of interest.

Confusing! take battery off the engine while not running?
"Need voltage battery only" would be better!

13.2V low idle
12.8V Battery only

Just a rough check to confirm that the 12v battery is OK, and it appears by the voltages you’ve measured to be OK. Not much more to offer. Perhaps gather up the radio codes, etc. and disconnect the battery for afew hours to force a reset.

One other thing, I noticed you said you replaced the key fob batteries. Did you per chance use Duracell batteries. If so remove them and check carefully for a child proof coating that is applied to make them taste bad. If the coating exists use something like emery cloth to make sure it is removed.
