My 2003 monti carlo engine will not turn over at all, radio quit too, i know it controls functions to the car too. I jump wired the starter, it turns over fine, starts, shuts down immediatly, security

I don't understand it, other than maybe the security part of the car, keeps it from starting. I had it added after I bought it new. I have 2 keys, neither work, they are stamped on the bottom of the key 3, believe me I have cut the small wires to the starter, then connected them back, I used a screw driver to ark the starter, it turns over fine, start for 2 seconds or less and dies. do I need to replace the switch. Oh the radio quit working at the same time.

The radio may have a blow fuse so leave that for the moment ,as you jumped the starter the problem would be in the ign system from the switch which i'd say will be to do with the security device you had fitted as i suspect the ign wire and fuel pump wire would also have been integrated into the system have you got the booklet that came whith the security device to see where the connections where made ? this will need an auto electrician to look at it i would think

Security Feature:Before anything mechanical 1st) You can try locking your car and unlocking it "WITH YOUR KEY" on the drivers door. if that doesn't work 2nd) Try turning key to on position and allowing it to sit in the on position for 10 minutes and 3rd) you can disconnect both negative and positive battery cables and use a vice grip or something of that nature to hold the 2 cable ends together for I believe 10 minutes. All 3 of these are known techniques for resetting the security feature.

Mechanical: I would have your alternator tested, but before that disconnect your starter and remove the cable running to your battery and thoroughly clean both ends of all the wires, you may want to bend them while you have them out may be some corrosion built up. if after you do this it starts and runs fine then you should replace the wire(s)

I hope one of these help you with fixing / diagnosing your problem.

Check for damage from broken belt. Maybe it damaged the crankshaft sensor wires or connector.

I have seen issues like this on other Honda's and the problem turned out to be the ignition starter switch. Do this, jumper power directly to the starter solenoid trigger wire and see if the engine cranks.

98 monty carlo / wont start unless the ignition module fuse is disconnected. already put another ignition module and coil pack on . tried another computer too.

Is there a light that says SECURITY somewhere on the dash? These cars are notorious for failing anti theft systems that lock out the starter. This link explains and offers DO IT YOURSELF solutions.

2003 grand am just clicks when trying to start it wont take a jump lights radio come on

Those are the signs of a bad starter. You'll have to confirm the battery is good, you have good connections at the starter and the small signal wire is getting energized when the key is turned to start. If all that checks out it's time to replace the starter (assuming there's not some sort of internal engine damage). Was the engine running fine before?

2003 Chevy 2500HD 6.0 auto. Truck won't start. Before, while driving the door locks were locking and unlocking like when you shift into drive or into park. Shut off truck. 1 hr later it won't start. Jump...

No , it's not a trans module . Do you know how the starting system works ? Do you know what a wiring diagram is ? Do you have an know how to use a volt meter ? Going here http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html free wiring diagrams . You need to look an see what all is involved in the starting electrical circuit before guessing as to what the problem is .
Enter your vehicle info - year , make , model and engine size. Then under system click on engine , then under subsystem click starting .Click the search button then the blue link. Looking at the wiring diagram i see IGN E fuse 10amp , the park neutral postion switch , starter relay , IGN A fuse 40 amp . I do not see a trans module , but i do see the PCM -powertrain control module . The PCM has both trans an engine control modules in one box.
The PCM will energize the starter relay if there is no anti-theft system . Do you have a security light lit on the insturment cluster ?
No crank good starter how to troubleshoot any car Hyundai
