I would appreciate your expert help on a problem that I've been having on my LR3 05 SE V8.
For sometime I been having starting problem when I tried to start the car in the morning.
I would put the key in the ignition and turn but it will not crank. I would hear the fuel pump and all other clicks but no cranking. I would turn the key few time and all the sudden it will crank.
Today, the same thing happened again with some additional problems. All my lights start flickering after the engine ignited. The engine was also not running smoothly and was flickering. I took the key out of ignition and tried again but this time it will not stop cranking and the engine would not start. I took the key out but the engine still was cranking without the key in ignition. I had to unplug the battery wire to stop it from cranking. I have to add that we've been having continues rain in California for the last few days.
Now the car is sitting in the garage with the battery wire unplugged. As soon as I connect the wire, the car start cranking again without the key being in the ignition.
Would really appreciate your help before I call the tow truck.
I am a bit capable mechanically if the part is not buried in the engine compartment and has easy access considering my limited tools if it's a part that I need to replace.
