ok so i had someone over the other day and i was gonna sell my other old 240, turns out it never did this crap till the day he showed up and good thing hes coming back later to look at it because i didnt have the fuel pump in and he couldnt see me turn it over. now what happened is i tried starting it and just got "click click click" from what sounds like it came from the starter. i charged the battery thinking maybe it was dead but that didnt make a difference. im gonna check my relocation wires to see if something came loose later i guess but i dont really think that that is it. Also now the car has eaten my key and wont give it back. I put the key in and turn it and move it and do all sorts of things but its like its not detecting that ive moved it from anywhere but the very first position that the key slides in and out of. no accessories power up, nothing happens now, all it will do is beep with the door open so it knows the key is there. i wanna sell this thing and i cant afford to have this crap happen THE DAY ITS TO BE SOLD. so i really need to get this fixed! any ideas?
