2001 Cadillac Deville DTS Drove fine for the two months I've had it. Always started without delay, until today. Checked battery, fuses, and relay. All ok. Researched as much as I could and can't figure it out. Other issues that may be related: Heavy leak topside of the engine, I'm guessing valve gasket. Could this have affected starting? In dash temp cluster has never worked, possible it's disconnected to hide overheated engine? No leak in cooling system so I don't believe it's a blown engine and oil is only down a quart or so. Check engine light is always on, even when ignition engaged. Any ideas, I'm desperate.. Any time I've ever had issues with a starter I've always known before hand, this was just sudden. I do all my own work, but this car is backwards as it gets.

Pull the codes to see if it threw another one recently. Some codes will affect emissions and won't hinder driveability so much but some are for components that make the engine run. You may have had an emissions one for a while but recently got hit with a bad cam sensor or something.

2001 cadillac deville dts..wont start

Check your fuse box for broken fuses. Otherwise, disconnect your negative battery terminal for maybe thirty minutes, reconnect and see if warning lights stay on. It could also be a pre-set maintenance reminder to force consumers to get dealer service which would be 'reset' by disconnecting a relay.

2001 Cadillc Deville DTS door lock stopped accepting key - no fob either!

I experienced the exact problem with my 2001 DTS. The solution that worked for me is as follows:
- spray some WD40 lubricant into the keylock
- work the key in and out of the lock assembly several times
- spray more WD40 lubricant into the keylock
- continue to work the key in and out of the lock assembly
- the key should eventually insert all the way into the lock and turn the lock assembly
I hope this works for you.

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

I just purchased a 1999 Cadillac Deville. Drove fine for a few days. Today I drove 75 MPH for 20 miles on freeway and car began to overheat. Dashboard told me to replace oil. Checked the coolant, it took 1...

When a Cadillac (Northstar) overheats, It will give the message to change the oil. If you run a Northstar and keep running it long enough it will start shutting off cylinders and stop the A/C compressor to help protect itself. In this condition I would check for a blown headgasket. Possibly your technican will find the problem. Could also be stuck thermostat, dirty radiator Thanks
