2001 Buick Century - turned ignition and nothing - instrument panel dark. Turn key off & needles jump all the way up & back down. When I turn the key - intermittently - radio, wipers, windows, etc will work & then die. No headlights at all - no clicking or grinding when try to start. The instrument panel will light up for a second or two and then die or maybe flick off & on a couple of times. The battery is good, cables clean, no corrision on terminals. All fuses are good. Car worked fine before this happened.

Turn signal plug should have nothing to do with it not starting. Disconnect the battery for 10 to 15 minutes. Then try again with the key.
When you jumped the solenoid, it would start because the key may have not been in the run position. So the Security light was on, and did not energize the fuel pump.
Firstly it is advisable to energise the starter solenoid manually. If the engine cranks the fault is - immobiliser, ignition switch, relay, supply, wiring or connections.
If the engine doesn't crank the fault is likely the starter motor or solenoid.
OK, if the relay for the A/C fan is bad, then the radiator's fan will keep running after turning off the ignition. Also, if the fan for ventilation of the A/C in the cabin stays on after the ignition is turned off, the relay for that is bad.
How to Reset the GM Oil Life System After changing the engine oil, the system must be reset. 1. With the engine off, turn the ignition key to RUN. 2. Fully push and release the accelerator pedal slowly three times within five seconds. If the CHANGE OIL SOON light flashes, the system is resetting. 3. Turn the key to OFF, then start the vehicle. The oil life will change to 100 percent. If the CHANGE OIL SOON light comes back on, the system has not reset. Repeat the procedure.
