Okay I just went into my car and saw that button, pretty hard to get to. When the clutch is fully pushed in, the switch is not fully pressed, I can push it in further if I use my knife to get to it. I'll have to see if I can get something on there to be able to push it fully in, its really really hard to get to on my car for some reason

Is your car still under warranty? If so, I would take it in.

It sounds like you've got a bad ground, since everything goes dead I'd guess the ground bolt on the right shock tower, but depending on where you measured your voltage that does not explain the 10.7V. Batteries can have internal defects, Long ago on an old celica I've had a battery fail on an internal bus bar between cells, and 10.7 is exactly 2.1 volts under 12.8V, and 12V lead acid batteries are made up of 6x2.1V cells. If the guy at Oreilys tested the battery with a small electronic device, that's not worth much salt, test it with a load cell, proper load for this should be over 200 amps, and since you've got a random issue that goes away and comes back, wiggle the battery posts while it's under load, you may have an internal break in the battery that sometimes makes contact and sometimes doesn't, and sometimes makes contact just enough to wake the car up but fails once you start drawing high current with the starter, removing the battery terminal and reinstalling it may move the post just enough to bridge the gap. |
