1985 Cadillac Deville Repair Question
Car will not start or even turn over
Thank you for any and all help - this is getting frustrating and I do not wish to pull the starter if nothing is wrong with it.
Thanks again

start with a bettery check. that would be the first place i would go. without sufficient power, nothing will work.

The battery is brand new and has been checked for charge - it's fine.
The alternator has been bench tested and is in perfect working order.
I have not pulled the starter yet due to the weird electrical issues inside the vehicle...and is why I am now thinking it may be either the BCM or ECM module - ?
dont go there yet. i would look at conections at the battery, starter, and the grounds at the block and the bell housing. it sounds like a power supply issue.

There is a ground behind the ac compressor that has known problems.
ck. the voltage at the starter.hold the key in start position then tap the starter with a hammer will it start then?
you will have to replace the fuel tank unit for the flashing e.u need to us a volt meter to check where your losing power.push off and warmer buttons on the a/c panel if it lights come on.then write the codes down.if the a/c and fuel data centers are out it may be a bad bcm.
forgot youll need to disconnect the fuel data display and see if the a/c panel lights if no plug it back in the fuel center and disconnect the a/c panel to see if the fuel center lights.if neither lights up replace the bcm.
