Went to start the car a few ago. Heard fuel pump then "click" and nothing. Then the keyless box starts clicking. I can wiggle the ignition switch and the chime works intermittently. Then I'll wait a few and disconnect the ground cable, hook it up and I get the fuel pump, the loud click, no power working and the keyless clicking. At one point I heard the leftmost relay in the underhood fuse box clicking.

The dome light would come on and off when the chime would work. Everything would go off as soon as I tried to start. The ignition cylinder was very loose. I could wiggle the switch and the chime would go on and off. I'm going to try and get a new one in and see what happens.

Sounds like a dead battery with the lights dimming with the buzzer. Stick a volt meter on the battery first and verify its >12Vdc

Ignition cylinder didnt work. Turned out to be the ignition switch. Finished up around 830. Then I cleaned it up to drive to Alabama for the big car show. Thanks!
