I recently bought a 2008 cadillac cts, i went to the movies and left one of the lights on. When i came back my car battery had died so i jump started it. The car worked fine after except for the radio it did not want to turn on any more. The lights on the dashboard and radio and ac still turn off but they wont turn off, causing my car battery to die over and over again. please help! i just got my car.

Could be your alternator. If you can get it started again. Try to have the alternator checked out.

Look for a button that allows you to slide the physical key out of the fob. Step 2: Turn the vehicle key to unlock the car door without releasing it. Hold the key for 30 seconds in this position. This will signal to your car's system that you have the right key, and will enable you to bypass your car's alarm system.

What's your problem?Recently I left the key on or the light on or both in my 2001 suburban.. So i jumped started it no problem. next day while taking my son to school about 1 mile on the way back

How old is the battery? Have it load tested at a car parts store. It sounds like an old or bad battery, Do you remember where it was bought? Some new batteries fail right away, take it back they will replace it.

2008 cts will not start. not sure if it is battery because the lights on the inside come on . When the key is turned it just makes a clicking noise.

just get a jump start. if it starts properly. and it has at least 14 volts at battery while running. its a bad battery ! remove negative cable from battery while running. if alternator is not charging battery. engine will quit. if ok, replace or charge battery. good-day !

My key is stuck in the ignition of my 2006 cadillac cts

2005 CTS 3.6 Dead battery, key stuck, service anti theft and nothing happens when you turn key, Ttried everything, ECM reset, key memory reset, charged battery to 12.7 volts, locked door w remote and opened w key, anyway you get the idea. After 3 days of online reading and trying, THIS IS WHAT WORKED, 1. put key into on position 2. removed sarter relay from front fuse panel 3. jumped 1st pin closest to fender and passenger seat with pin that is closest to motor and front fender. I used a paper clip and just made contact long enough for car to start. ran car for five minutes and took key out and everything went back to normal. then I took car to advance auto parts to have engine light reset. if car does not go back to normal you have ECM (car computer) failure. video on YouTube under "no crank, no start"

2007 cadillac cts 3.6 motor...engine stalls. runs slightly rough during start up and then will die very occasionally taking off, hesitates and "jumps" between 40 to 50 mph. Does not write to code so...

CTS are very sensitive to problems with the hose between the air filter box and the intake. If it is not on good or leaks, it will cause the car to run rough, or die immediately after starting.

2006 caddy cts

The dealers know about a problem with the batteries and will replace under warranty. The original batteries were defective. I just bought a 2006 CTS and after test driving the car the battery died and wouldnt restart. The dealer replaced the battery. You should not have to pay a dime.
