1997 Grand Am 3.1

When trying to start this car, only the dash lights come. the car will not turn over. I hear a bunch of different clicks coming from all over under the hood. I tried to arc the starter relay and it did not spark. When you push the ignition switch in with out the key in it, it starts dinging.

At the starter, check the fusible links. It really sounds like the starter had quit on you though. The solonoid which is connected to the starter has quit working. the starter and solonoid are 1 unit. Definitely do some shopping for this part at the different part stores in your area, prices vary. Hope this helps.

My autoheadlight system and blowerfan wont come on

Certain circuits go through the ignition switch and sometimes the points in the switch become gummed up with carbon. The easiest fix is to replace the ignition switch. The switch can, however, be disassembled and cleaned by a skilled mechanic (there are many small springs and parts that have to be assembled properly).

Long story short, replace the ignition switch.
