Hi, I know I am late to this thread, my car has the same issue. It makes a ticking noise and the dashboard will have a spas. Occasionally it will work fine and sometimes it'll take multiple attempts to get it going. Starter motor was replaced less than a month ago due to it being intermittent. Don't think its the battery since it would continue to get worse until the battery finally dies. Neither fuse since a blown fuse would not allow me to start it at all. I unplugged the battery which I thought might do a reset on the car but did not work. Would very much appreciate it if you managed to fix it and could tell me what the issue was.
