HELP!!! Can anyone help identify/fix this problem? I put the key in and
turn it all the way to start engine, and nothing happens. By nothing I
mean, no sound, no lights.

To start the car, i put the key in the gear lock, push the gears back and
forth (auto car) a few times.

Then put back in ignition. Takes a few times, but then it works.

I don't know if the gear pushing has anything to do with it or not. In
fact, now when i'm driving i hear funny metallic sorta dragging noises, at
first I thought it was a loose muffler, but now I think it makes noise
whenever the gear changes.

Anyway, everything resets, clock, radio. Makes me think it's the battery,
but it's less than 6 months old. Just had a major tuneup 6 months ago too!

Guy at acura said the startup contacts were bad, and they said they fixed
them, but apparently not ...

Can anyone help?
