OK, I was walking my dog last night, and I heard a car start up. I got out of the road and started walking to my door, when I realized it was my car that started. The doors were locked, and the key wasn't even in it. I had to go inside to get my key to unlock it and turn it off.

Is there anything that could cause this to happen? I doubt it could be a prank, they would have got to get past my locked doors, and get around the key issue in the 5 minutes I was walking my dog. This happened at about 1 a.m. so it kinda freaked me out. Could a spark plug have just sparked randomly causing the engine to start, or should I contact the local minister?

 

Maybe you have a remote start switch installed that you were unaware of until now.

 

Crazy story, but maybe Ron is right...... has to be, right? :P

 

yeah i would check to see if there is a remote start installed that may have been triggered by somebody elses remote just a simple button wouldn't do it because you have to power up the ignition and the starter in order to start it

 

Agreed, you must have remote start installed.

 

How would I see if it were installed?

 

They are usually installed under the dash on the driver's side. Look there for an electrical box that is obviously not stock, with wires leading off to different places. Probably you can just unplug the wires from the box and the car will still work.

 

Nothing there that shouldn't be there stock.

 

^call the priest!
