  • No Start! Please help.

    Put key in, turn to run position and get power to headlights, interior, what sounds like the fuel pump etc etc. After about 10 seconds abs light and security light (which is solid, not blinking) turn off.

    Turn key forward, ABS light comes back on, but no start.

    Car had an alarm aftermarket. I just finished pulling it out. All wires are as they should be. With alarm out, exact same symptoms.

    Don't think it is VATS since security light goes off. Also If I disconnect the VATS wiring under the column the security light blinks as it should. Tested the key it is a number 4 which has a acceptable range of resistance from 850-942 I tested the wires at the harness and got a 883 which tells me the wires are good. The blinking light tells me the VATS module should be good.

    Cleaned plenty of corosion off of the positive terminal of the Neverstart.

    Battery, alt, and starter are less than two weeks old.

    If there is a starter relay I can not find it.

    Tried starting in neutral also.

    Also tried starting with a battery booster. One of the big ones on wheels, nothing happened. I can't get to the starter to try and arc it since all my jackstands are on my vette for my tranny swap.

    Had key tested at dealership they said it was a number 4. I tested it at my VATS harness and got an acceptable reading according to the VATS chart.

    Warrantied battery tonight just for good measure...same result.

    any clicking when you try to start er up??? Or just nothing at all...

    I'd check fuses and relays...on the driveside dash next to the door and under the hood...

        i thought it was the pass key system. I had the key checked at the dealership and they said it was fine. I verified the resistence at the VATS harness and it was within specs.

          Ignition switch.... located on the backside of the column. You'll have to drop the steering column to get to it, but many times this $27 part is the culptrit.
