So I have an 07 equinox and 2 weeks ago I was trying to clear a code and disconnected my battery. After hooking it back up it would not start. I had power, wipers, headlights, radio. But things like the windows, door locks, FOB, would not. (The key also was then stuck in ignition) This happened on a Saturday and had to wait to the following Wednesday to get an apt at the shop. I tried it a few times the day it happened and got nowhere. When Wednesday came I had no belief it would start but turned they key and it started right up.
I called the shop and they said that if it was now working there was nothing to look at, and canceled my apt. A week later I had the radio on and killed the battery fairly quick. Went out and bought a new battery (and had it tested) put it in and back to nothing working. I left an hour later to go to work, when I got home 8 hrs later it started right up. Still no idea what's going on. Have an apt this upcoming Friday, so when I pull in I'm going to disconnect the batter then hook it back up so they have their " problem " to look at.

I touched a screwdriver across the starter solenoid terminals and there is a whirring noise but still no start. The whirring noise almost sounds like the starter is turning but the starter bendix is not going out to engage. But when I try starting with the key there is no noise at all from under the hood. So at this point I'm not thinking it's a starter issue. Maybe more something with the computer?
