    have you had your starter tested or replaced, this would include the solenoid. The other cause could be the starter relay or fuse.

There should be a click sound from the engine to know that you have the starter relay going. If there is none check that out if it is working or if the wires are connected properly. If there is check out the starter motor if it is connected properly or if it is working at all. Check also the ground wires if they are connected properly.

1998 buick skylark security theft light on,car starts and turns of right away?

Your PassKey Security System is malfunctioning. The most likely cause is a bad ignition lock cylinder. Try this to get it started:
1. Set the parking brake. (This will keep your headlamps from coming on and running your battery down)
2. Turn the key to the "START" position and release it to the "RUN" position. (Do not turn the key to the "OFF" position or you will have to start over.)
3. Leave the key in the RUN position for about 10 minutes until the SECURITY light stops flashing.
4. When the light stops flashing, turn the key to the "START" position again.


This should get the engine started so you can drive the vehicle to get it repaired.

1998 Skylark wont start, but turn over (clicking from alternator) battery fairly new.

Are you getting fire to the plugs?

Are you getting fuel?

"Won't start" doesn't tell me anything.
