No Starter Operation?

I'd be offended if you had an alternative answer and didn't speak up!

Thanks service writer. I just saw someone in the mod forum get mad about it.

Did you try what rhall77 said first?

I'd be curious to learn if it can be bench tested.

So you are saying that the battery is at full charge and it does not crank?
IF so verify the battery is good and fully charged.

OR it cranks and does not start?
Anything been done to the ignition switch?
You might be stuck with having to have a shop that has a scanner capable of turning the security light on and off. If it doesn't a bad cluster may be present. And just the source of the drain.

I think I would treat it as a parasitic draw and see what circuit has the drain. "Google" testing a parasitic draw if you don't know how. When you find it, I think you'll find that fuse is the one on the same circuit of the security light.

Hey rhall77,
Anyone that gets upset about getting more help; makes me question their intentions of trying to help.

This is a comment from a site that is similiar to this one from a member ( I replace the site with XXX:
Thanx to everyone that did reply. XXX is better than ANY tool I have in my toolbox. Never under estimate the power of XXX to solve complex issues. There are so many knowledgable people out there that are more than willing to help and offer suggestions. XXX is priceless. Thanx XXX and all of it's members for sharing their knowledge to solve these issues. I'll be back regularly to offer my ideas to others.

Please run down this guide and report back.

I'd make sure the battery cables/wires are clean and tight on both ends.

There should be a starter relay in the power distribution center, you can do some testing there, when the problem occurs. Just make sure the tranny is in park or neutral and the e-brake is set.

If this is an automatic tranny, have you tried cranking it in neutral, when the problem occurs?

You will have to check for voltage at the starter solinoid. Also check and see if there is a fuse for the starter and see if that is good.

Not really you are gonna have to get a test light to see if you are getting power to the starter.

Try running the shift lever through the gears while holding the key on. Sometimes you can get the switch to work enough to get it started. Could also be a bad connection at the starter. Fuse 1 will be under the hood in the box and labeled Start the other one will be in the interior fuse box and labeled start/ign.

Please let us know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
