Hello, I have a 2007 Honda Accord v6 3.0 L Coupe and I have a problem with the start up. I just bought a brand new battery for my car so I know it’s not the battery. Anyway, when I turn the key in the ignition (normally) I cannot get the car to turn on, it makes an electrical screeching sound. However, when I quickly turn the key, the car turns on. I want the car to turn on normally but do not know the specific problem. I replaced the starter with a family member not too long ago, could it be that the starter was not installed correctly?

“turns on” ? does that mean the engine starts?

Have no idea what an “electrical screeching sound” could be. Does the starter turn (wirr-wirr type sound) ?

I’m sorry, I should have been a little more specific. Yes, the engine starts. Click on this to see what I’m talking about [http://youtu.be/bru20TXKPqM](http://youtu.be/bru20TXKPqM)

Try turning the key over. Are you pushing any key buttons while turning? Otherwise, the problem would appear to be in the ignition switch.
