If your 2003 olds alero won't start it doesn't even turn over but everything electrical works you pulled the starter and the starter works what could be the problem?

It could be a poor connection from the battery to the starter, a problem with the keyswitch, a problem with the connectors between the keyswitch and the starter solenoid or a problem with the neutral lockout switch. I have had problems for over a year with starting my 2002 Alero & have had it towed numerous times, only to be told later that it started fine for the mechanic. I searched on-line and saw that this was a common problem & noted nearly 20 different solutions proposed. Yet, none of them appeared to be successful, and--like many other owners--I was ready to sell the car. Well, I have finally solved the mystery & you will be amazed at how simple (and inexpensive!) the solution turns out to be. Simply detach your car key from all other keys. That's it! For some reason, having additional keys attached somehow interferes with ignition. This also explains why the damn car would always start for the mechanics--I only left them the single key! (I'd begun to think that the towing process somehow fixed the problem...) So, give it a try! I sincerely hope that this trick works for all you frustrated Alero owners out there--

Why does my laptop turn on when i plug it in?
When a computer is plugged in it usually comes on right away to show you that everything is connected correctly. If it doesnt come on than you could have an electrical problem where not enough voltage is reaching the power supply.

How do you trouble shoot a starter problem?
When you try to start engine is there any noise,such as clicking from area of starter?If you can hear a clicking , this usually indicates poor connections.To trouble shoot starter problem, the first thing i would do is determine if it is starter or solenoid.To do this ,you need a remote starter switch,connected to starter solenoid.Solenoid is located either on the starter,or on firewall in engine bay,depending on what vehicle you have. if you dont have a remote switch, you can short the solenoid terminals with a screw driver.When shorting, if the solenoid is good you will hear clicking.If you dont hear anything , replace the solenoid.If you hear clicking and starter doesnt work, pull the starter out and replace .

Why doesn't your car start--it started kind of progressively weaker as the week went on now it doesnt start at all?
My guess is it's either the battery or the charger. If everything else works that electronic in your car, its the starter.
