    Default Vr Ss won't crank over sometimes??

    Hey guys I just purchased a Vr Ss and it's been all good until Friday. Came out after work to start the car and it wouldn't crank over. I played around with the battery checked fuses and relays made sure it was in park, checked starter motor and still nothing. The pump primes and the lights come on just doesn't crank. After I tried all that it just started and drove fine. Got the car home left it over night and tried to start it again today and it wouldn't crank. Left it for an hour or so and then it started fine.. Any ideas?? Starter motor ? Ignition module? Any help would be appreciated cheers John

    Either it is a bad battery in the keyhead or the keyhead is not making good contact on the silver ring around the ignition key hole.

    The key should be fine... The keyhead would need to be replaced since it has been in water...
