Gennie 2012 3.8 collision cut-off switch?

[Zoom]

I had posted a similar question, but it went no where. Maybe this will activate some interest. I'm pretty sure the Gennies, like most cars, have a collision cut-off switch. It's an accelerometer that senses a collision and cuts power. In some cars, a hard bump, like a high railroad track, can trip it. I'm thinking that is the reason my Gennie will just go dead in the driveway and then, come back to life after the trunk is opened and closed.

I would try to use white lithium grease spray on the trunk lock parts (the part that moves with the trunk lid and the parts that are stationary). Then open and close your trunk several times and spray again. See if that helps.

Thanks for the response but please re-read the original post. This has nothing to do with the trunk latch. The shock wave of closing the trunk is remediating the no-start condition, which suggests that a switch is being tripped.

I had a some weird electrical problems with my Genesis until I lubed the trunk latch. It won't hurt.
