rockfangd Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 check your battery connections first. Plays a huge roll in starting. Just nbecause all the lights come on doesnt mean it is good to start it GM FAN FOREVER Nice, clean, luxury= fine automobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdgrinci Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Agreed, check the battery first; you need threshold voltage to activate (hear the click) the solenoid/starter (just to know that the battery is weak). If the battery is good, then another possibility is the neutral start switch.

Ranger Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Watch the headlamps as someone else tries to start the car. If they go real dim, the battery is shot. You can also put a DVM inline between the battery cable and battery post and watch the voltage. A dead cell will drop the voltage to around 9v OR you can take it to most parts stores or any place that sells batteries and have it load tested.

dmk9561 Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 My '95 did that once and it was the neutral safety switch. Try shifting into neutral and see if it will start, or cycle it through every gear and check if it will start in any position. It might save you a tow.
