Hi, my 97 auto max will not start now. A couple of start ups prior to it not working, the car would crank over slowly, like the battery was real low. I had the battery tested at autozone and it was still good, i took out the starter and had that tested to and it was also good. My alternator was replaced about 6 months ago, so now i have no idea why my car wont start. When i turn the key over to crank it, there is no sound. Any ideas? Thanks

 

did you look for codes?
theres not even a click when you turn the key?

 

Ive heard of this happening to a few people that when the turn their key, there is absolutly no sound at all. There was a few threads on here about peoples cars not starting, so if you search a few pages back you should find them. Also i think that problem for alot of them was either a bad starter OR a bad wire/connection on your ignition (right under your steering column). If there was a bad wire/connection on your ignition it would explain your starter not turning because its not gettin a signal from the ignition.

 

Slow cranks are caused by weak batteries, bad starters or a faulty or loose battery cable.

There have been issues with ignition switches going bad as well.

 

Is there any links that show how to replace the ignition switch?

 

Is it in one of the stickies... 10 min job... remove the steering plastic shrouds and its there there.
