The solenoid is on the starter motor.it could be just bad contacts in the solenoid and the extra amp supply by boosting the car will make the solenoid work.make sure all the connections at the battery and the starter is good.if they are good then change the starter with the solenoid.the starter should be on the side of the motor by the rad where the motor bolts to the transmission.

    The starter on the Northstar engine is uner the intake manifold (inside the engine, I know it sounds crazy but that's where it is.

Won't start, clicks instead, key won't come out.

It sounds like your alternator may be bad and is not charging the battery. You can get it tested at Auto Zone.

02 CADILLAC DTS, DO T HAVE A STARTING MOGULE?

Turn on the headlights and turn the key to start if the headlights go out the battery is dead and needs to be repaired if they do not go out then you may have a starter that is locked up or a bad solenoid on the starter.

My 2003 cadillac deville dts drags when i try to crank it, I replaced the battery and starter, and it still wont crank.

Hi Able:
"Crank" to me means turn over.
"Fire" means actually try to run.
If it won't crank and you have a new battery and starter, I'd be checking the terminal connections, wires, cround connection, and solenoid. If all of those are good then we need to start checking the engine condition. Recently running or sitting for 5 years and full of rust?

2003 Cadillac Deville DTS CODES co579 and co584

Those codes are for the suspension in the front.
C0579 is LF Solenoid/Motor/Actuator Circuit Open
C0584 is RF Solenoid/Motor/Actuator Circuit Open

I would suspect that either the solenoid motors are bad or the wiring to them is damaged.

When my husband car is not hooked up to another battery it will not start at all nor does it makes noise. But when it is connected to another car it will somewhat start but it makes a loud clicking sound...

Could be the starter but first I would recommend having the battery checked. Sounds as though the battery may have a dead or shorted cell and causing this problem.

2001 Cadillac DeVille

The most probable cause for this is a an intermittent problem with the Starter solenoid and/or starter.

When the car does not respond to turning the ignition key on can you hear a click from under the hood?

If you can that is the starter solenoid trying to turn on the starter motor. I would say the starter needs to be replaced.

If you cannot hear anything, then the solenoid ( which is just a relay) is probably bad.

I just replaced my startere on my F150, starter & solenoid come as a unit.... cost about $125.

Hopes this helps good luck Loringh
