i can't really say too much but are have you checked the starter motor? As for the Sssssshhhhhh sound, that will more than likely be the fuel pump. In the VL they are sposed to pump for 6 seconds when you switch the car to ON... that is more than likely what you're hearing.

I had a similer problem with my vl, it wasn't actaully turning over to ignition? if that what ya experiencing, try a locksmith, a small pin tends to break inside the steering colum, a litle bstard to get out without right tools. sorry bout spelling guys, in a hurry! : :roll:

Check the relays in your fuse box... That's what it ended up being on mine i just pulled the thing out and put it back in and the car started fine.. Beforehand tho accessories and all would go on but the ****er wouldnt even crank over.. All works fine now i was thinking it was the starter but it ended up being something so simple *shrugs*
