Car in excellent condition BUT Owner gets in car first thing in morning press start - nothing perhaps "ignition on" comes up . then gives key to wife starts first time. Wife gets in car first thing in morning always starts first time. WEIRD ! Any ideas! Key fob battery has been renewed - no change.
