1st, remove the positive lead to the abttery. Next disconnect the wires from the starter one at a time. I recomment you wrap each with a layer of black electrical tape to protect them. After the wring is removed, remove the bolts to any brackets that are attached to the starter and the two large bolts holding the starter into the transmission housing. Remove the starter. Reverse order to install new starter. Test before your close the hood. It isn't very difficult. If you run into problems, ask me, and I will assist you.

2005 GMC Envoy XL. Will not engage starter. Like something electrical. Turn key and nothing. Worked fine until now.

Could be the neutral safety switch if it won't crank in neutral or park, could also be the starter has failed.

But it still cranks over at normal speed? If so, you need to begin by checking for gas and spark. Have the fuel pressure checked first, if less than specified, that is your problem. The spec for your GMC should be about 50 psi, maybe even as high as 60psi.

2005 GMC Envoy. Wining sound from under the car at startup.

Hello,
I suggest checking your starter motor. If the starter motor is staying engaged it could be a bad solenoid or a bad ignition switch.

I hope this helps.
