On a 1999 Cadillac Seville sts replaced battery still has starting issues no click or other sound then after many attempts it starts how can this be fixed?

Answer 1

It sounds to me like the starter is bad,or has a loose wire. The starter is under the intake manifold and a real pain to replace but you may get lucky and be able to get it to work with a little trick I learned on mine. If you look at the engine from the driver side with a flashlight at the corner of the intake you can see down under the intake to the top of the block. take a long breaker bar or even a wooden broom handle and hit the block a few times while someone holds the key on It will vibrate the starter enough to get it to start.Once it starts you may not have the problem for a long time. Mine has been that way for over a year and has only done it 3 times.a lot easier and cheaper than replacing the starter. Hope this helps,any questions on exact location let me know and I will try to be more specific. good luck. Docb513 Could also be the ignition switch, contacts could be worn.
