I have a 97 Yukon with the following problem...I have power when I turn the key on, but when I turn it to crank the engine, the radio, heater etc. stop and nothing happens. I recently replaced the starter and have had no problem...I know it's not the battery, the starter relay or the alternator......There's a faint click somewhere under the dash....Got me real stumped

Make sure that the starter solenoid is being activated and getting power to the starter. All battery connections and starter motor connection must be squeaky clean since any resistance in a 12 volt system may have a serious impact on power flow to device. Ignore the radio, heater etc during startup - the car is designed to turn them off when you turn the key to start so all power goes to the starter motor only.

There is a fuel rail on top of motor it runs form 1 injector to another.at the middel or end of the fuel rail there is a fuel pressure test valve. it looks just like a air tire valve.with a black cap too. remove cap and hook up a fuel pressure tester. most big part stores will let you use one for a deposit.you'll get back when you return tool or you can buy one 20.00 about.after you hook it up you should have 35 to 47 psi with key on.if no psi or low psi 20 or lower pump is bad.also there should be no leak down of psi.if you need to replace pump thier in the fuel tank ,someyukons had a axcess panel under carpet in back cargo area. good luck B.HARRIS A.S.E. cirtified

Tilt the steering wheel down all the way and see if it starts, if it does then there is a main power wire loose in the steering columb. Thats all which comes to my mind at this time.

Why doesn't it crank or start?

Sounds like the immobilizer system is preventing you starting it. This usually requires a main dealer to fix.

Why does my 2003 Yukon XL turn over but won't start?

Does fuel pump run ? Remove fuel cap. Have someone crank it for you,you should hear fuel pump running. If not bang on bottom of tank while cranking. If it starts fuel pump will need replacing , if not check for power to pump, if it has power,replace pump. If no power, check relay for operation

Everything remains on with keys out

Everything as in the engine continues to run, the radio stays on, the power windows continue to work, etc? What happens when you open the drivers front door? Does everything turn off? If not does the dome light work when the drivers front door is open? If it does not than the drivers front door switch might be the issue.

Define - It attempts to turn over but won't catch and run ???? When you turn the key to start does the starter engage an spin the engine ? This would be a crank no start condition . If the starter doesn't engage an spin the engine this would be a no crank no start condition . Sorry to ask but i have only been an auto tech for thirty years an have heard a lot of different discriptions for these simple actions . crank no start or no crank no start . Very different diagnostic procedures . So when you turn the key to start , does the starter engage an spin the engine ,but won't start an run ?

This means theres a dead short somewhere, so the systems it runs have a short you will need to remove power from each one until the short stops. take a look around for wires touching ground, the raido woundnt be the problem it has its on fuse and so does the horn, remove the starter wire, the small wire to starter and leave the big battery cable going to starter and then try to start it, i know it wont start but this will tell you if its the starter thats shorting out, if that doiesnt do it then continue remove connections until you locate it, also repair the wire and then turn the key on and see if it blows the fuselink if it doesnt then you know its the starter, but then crank and see if it blows to make sure, if it only blows when you crank it then its the starter, if it blows as soon as the key is turn on then its something else. hope this is helpful, good luck.

It could be the starter, test the small wire going to the starter, it should have power when turning the key to start/crank. If it does, and the starter will not crank the engine, whack it with a hammer, if it then starts, replace the starter. If there is no power to the starter, then it could be the ignition switch, or the neutral switch, or a fuse/link blown.
