1997 chevy lumina starter wiring - 1997 Chevrolet Lumina

Spray some starter fluid into the intake. If it kicks over but doesn't start, you have fuel issues.

check your battery first, then check your ignition switch, then check your spark plugs and wires.

security light off, have someone hold the key to start and tap on the starter and see if it spins
if it does you need to replace the starter.

Support the car very securely first of all

Remove the negative cable from the battery

Remove the wires from the starter

Remove the two bolts from the starter going upward to the engine block

Wiggle the starter out

Reverse this proceedure to reinstall

most chevys have a yellow wire in the harnes that goes to the steering colum that is the security and I have had to just cut the wire to eliminate it but I would check a wire diagrahm before cutting

There isn't any starter module. There is a starter solenoid. It;s attached to the top of the starter.

use the valet switch that most systems have and that will over ride it

did you use carb cleaner or starter fluid. if you try starter fluid and it starts for a second and then dies you might have a fuel pressure issue. if not check for spark.

Pretty straightforeward job... Attach the harness to the starter (battery disconnected of course) The wires are usually joined and only go on one way (ones with big loops go on big center bolt, little ones go on small bolt. (same for Plug ins if any) If you have the original hardware, just put the starter back where it goes and bolt it in! Re-attach the battery and try the ign switch. Listen for bad noises... if any, check flywheel and instalation.
Good luck!!

if everything shuts off when you try to start it you most likley have a bad wiring connection, check connections at battery and fuse block.

the starter is located on the lower front of the engine where the engine and the transmission come together, just above the subframe.
