Hi Joan Whittaker,what does no crank mean. the starter motor is dead? some posters call d crank= running engine. which engine there? cranks fast but will not start. underhood fuse box f24 blown? step 2 after all fuses checked is: shift to Neutral see if that allows cranking per my red circle below is PCM control. is the dash IMMO lamp happy? as you can see the pcm decides to do the cranking or not via its starter relay. if you scanned the PCM it will tell you why it id not start. immo error OR A/t PRNDL (TRS) ERRORS. OOPS the IMMO page in your users guide covers IMMO if key 1 fails try key2, car came with 2 keys new. READ ALL PAGES ON IMMO FIRST If the engine does not start and the Security System Light comes on Security System Light (CLUSTER LAMP ICON LOOKS LIKE CAR CUT IN HALF WITH A PADLOCK, never ignore this lamp. This light flashes when the Theft Deterrent System has been activated. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/1078925/Cadillac-Cts.html?page=256

theirs a positive post on the fuse block from battery

You can't override it. The anti theft system and immobilizer are there to stop exactly what you are trying to do, start the car with a key that is not programmed to the car. You have to fix the problem, not find a way around it. You need to reset it to recognise the key. If you didn't buy a new chipped key, you have a valet key and it won't start the vehicle ever.. https://www.google.com/search?q=1999+Cadillac+DTS+reset+security ..

I would have the cooling fans checked. When the car is moving there is air forced through the radiator naturally. But when stopped, the car relies on the fans to pull air through the radiator to pull heat out of the coolant.

• The AIR pump relay--The AIR pump relay supplies high current and battery voltage to the AIR pump. The ECM commands the relay ON by supplying a ground to the relay control circuit. • The AIR CNTRL relay--The AIR CNTRL relay supplies high current and battery voltage to the AIR solenoid. The ECM commands the relay ON by supplying a ground to the relay control circuit. Both of these are in the underhood fuse / relay box. Should be labled

You may want to check the fuse...DIC/RKE located in the fuse panel.

Yours is under the back seat. The panel lid is marked for the fuses.

Bad relay could be drawing excess amps. Bad starter can do this as well.

Because you have an electrical short circuit on the wiring that fuse protects . Do yourself a favor an take it to a qualified repair shop. If you don't know why a fuse would keep blowing .

there is a manual release in the trunk in case the cable breaks

Need to know what V8 you have. Caddys have many a different firing orders

2006-2007 FRONT Soft ride & sport suspension, 118 ft-lbs/160 Nm; heavy duty suspension, 170 ft-lbs/230 Nm. REAR Models with FE7 suspension 147 ft-lbs/200 Nm.

The wheel speed sensor is located in the hub assembly, one on each wheel hub. The vehicle speed sensor is located at the rear of the transmission near the output shaft on the right side of transmission.

it has to go into the radiator low somewhere, look for the start of it there...the other end may be > the water pump outlet. Usually...unless there is something freaky about the particular one, these rad hoses are clamped either end with either a stiff spring clip clamp, which needs pliers ...or a gear clamp, which needs screwdriver.Have something in place to drain radiator contents into.
