2004 pontiac montana. When starting sometimes I hear a clicking sound and it wont start and sometimes it sounds like its trying to turn over but wont. It will start after trying a couple of times and sometimes wiggling the wires under the drivers side sliding door. Any clue as to what the problem could be?

Faulty starter solenoid possibility, if it doesnt start give the starter a tap with a wrench if it starts after that change solenoid or replace starter.

For the sliding doors you need to clean the contacts, there are 6 or 8 on both sides, just wipe them clean as they are probably covered in oil/grease/grime.

SOURCE: My 1999 pontiac montana rear sliding power door will not work

I went to bulldogsecurity.com and looked up the wiring diagram for this vehcle. However, prior to checking this part, I would check to see if you have a blown fuse. It doesn't hurt and only takes a few minutes. There should be a fuse for that either somewhere on the side of the dash or near the brake pedal area. If not it may be under the hood, but it should be inside the vehicle. You may have multiple fuse boxes. If it has (2) sliding doors it will have a wire for the auto doors in each kick panel (under the plastic trim/molding) when you open the door and look down you will see all of the trim/molding it should snap out or may be held in place with a screw or (2). Once you remove that you should see the wires. It says for the left side it is either light blue or black and the right side is definitely light blue. Trace this wire until you find out where it ends (the motor or switch to control the auto doors) Then test the switch/motor to see if it is bad.

SOURCE: car wont start...sometimes

Sounds like a bad starter solenoid, usually cheapest and easiest to replace the starter and solenoid as a unit. It is always best to check for power between the solenoid and the starter with a test light, if the solenoid clicks but the test light doesn't light up you have found the problem in the solenoid.

SOURCE: No start condition

It sounds as if it could be the neutral safety switch. have you tried to start it in neutral instead of park?? If it starts in neutral just have the neutral safety switch replaced. I hope this helps.

2003 Pontiac Montana won't start

Sounds like your new battery is flat. Try this. Sit someone in the car with the headlight on. Stand in front of the car and look at the headlights. Have the person in the car try to start it. When you hear the click, do the lights dim to a glow worm? If they do, your battery is flat. Whenever I get new batteries, I charge them overnight with a 6 amp charger.

Or when you reconnected the battery, the key wasn't in the ignition, and now your anti-theft is activated because it doesn't recognize the transponder in the key.

My 2004 pontiac montana wont start, need help ASAP!

no the transmission shift cable is streached and needs to be adjusted. you should be able to shift the van to neutral and start it in that gear. just watch when you park because it will roll away. use parking brake. if it doent start in neutral then your cable may be snaped and not noving the gear selector on trans at all

My 2000 pontiac montana will start up then immediately die, if i give it gas to try and keep it running it sounds like it backfires through the fuel system

I smell a bad fuel pump.. Easiest way to check this is have someone turn the key but not actually start the car and you stand near the tank to listen for the humming sound a pump usually makes as it pressurizes the system. If you hear the humming sound then check the pumps PSI and see if it holds. Good luck
