MY 1992 CADILLAC WILL NOT START IT IS NOT THE BATTERY AND IT IS NOT THE STARTER

Check battery check starter check for shorts in lines from starter to battery check fuses and relays check for fuel pump engaging and spark plugs for spark

I might have the solution! This happened to my buick I took it in and they wanted to charge me and arm and a leg to fix.. I did some research and found this site..its a common problem in gm cars. check it out its real affordable and can do it yourself .. Hopr this helps ya

Hi, if the wire is connected by a nut on the back of the alternator it can go either to the battery or to the starter solenoid.

fuse may just be old and failed or your started is bad and you have a dead short.
you want to try and fix it.
first replace the fuse.
check the wiring form battery to starter relay to starter - if all ok
disconnect the starter and start the car with the starter disconnected ( car will not start) does the fuse blow.
I hope not. - if it does you may have bigger problems.
now replace the starter, it is probably locked up. unless the engine has seized.

Did you check the condition of the positive cable or the large red power cable going down to the starter solenoid, and do you have 12 volts at the solenoid when you turn the key to the start position, this will be the small wire and terminal on the starter solenoid, if this has all been checked I would test the starter solenoid itself next. If you are not getting 12 volts when turning the key to the start position, you should double check fuses, and then possibly the ignition switch. Hope this gives you some other troubleshooting choices. Good luck and Happy Holidays!

have fusable links that run to solenoid on top of starter checked. have start switch on steering colum under dash checked

Alternator should have better than 13.5v output with all accessories on including headlamps.Check with volt meter right at battery terminals (running) If not it's not working properly. Doubtful from what you have said that starter is bad. Also check that terminal connections are clean and tight on battery.

You didnt say what size engine you have, however the starter is normally located between the engine and the transmission follow you positive battery cable to the starter youll find it

your trying to take your starter off? take it to a shop cuz u mostly likely are clueless

Recheck the charge on the battery,make sure it's fully charged.Check all connections at the battery and at the starter.Possibly a bad starter.If the starter is ruled out,then look at the teeth on the flexplate/flywheel.I would remove the starter and test it.
