My 1991 Pont grandprix wont turn over. It has never been a problep untill i put in a new battery a few days ago. I have checked all the connections and everything is tight. I have good headlights and all the electrical is working fine. When I turn the key I dont even get t starter click. the lights dont get dim or even flicker. Is there a fuse or relay somewhere that could be bad?

Check for voltage on the purple wire at the starter when turning the key to START. If no power, check for power at the purple wire coming out of the neutral switch/clutch switch. If no power, check for power coming into switch on yellow wire. If no power, check for power on yellow wire at ign switch. If no power, check for power coming into IGN switch on red wire. If no power, you've got a blown fusible link.

SOURCE: won't even "click" nor " crank" when trying to start .

Agree, it sounds like the starter and it happens often on old Camry. When was the last time you had the starter replaced? The cartalk guys once suggested getting a mallet and bang on the starter and it will work. Eventually you will need a replacement. It is way cheaper to go to junkyard and get a used one (ask them to test before buy).

sounds to me that you have an igniton problem not a starter problem and or if you have or had an alarm system could be cause if u do give me feedback and i will explain but seems that your starter is fine from what u say but if you think in terms of the elemts to start a vehicle batery gives pwoer to ignition which sends to starter which gives spark etc i would check you ignition system something is causeing a short and not alowing starter to function

If the problem occurs after the car has been driven long enough to reach normal operating temperature, the problem is the starter. If the 'no crank' occurs cold, retest the battery.

SOURCE: battery and brake lights flicker and headlights dim

check for aloose alternator belt, these are famous for the alternator mounting bolts breaking off and causing the alternator to become loose allowing the belt tension to back off and be loose enough to slip on high rpm causing your condition... at least check alt and battery voltage, especially alternator charging output, go to adiscount autoparts store like autozone or kragens and have then preform a free alt check... on car... please rate my help thanks...

Why is this happening

Before you go any further, have the battery checked. If there is an internal problem, it will create all kinds of problems like this.

First of all. We have put 2 new starters on this car recently. We thought the first might have been a fluke. However we had the 2nd checked and it tested fine as did the battery and alternator. Problem is...

what do you mean by wont start?? engine cranks but wont run? engine wont crank? Is the anti-theft light flashing? is the car in park? did you put it in Neutral and try to crank it?

2000 pont. g/p int. start/stall. replaced theft module twice,comp., ig.swicht,keys,P1629

THIS SYSTEM REQUIRES A REPROGRAMMING PROCEDURE AFTER COMPONENT REPLACEMENT. THERE IS A MANUAL RELEARN YOU CAN TRY BEFORE HAVING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER FOR REPROGRAMMING. THE RELEARN IS AS FOLLOWS: DIS-CONNECT BATTERY FOR 5 MINUTES. RECONNECT BATTERY,TURN KEY ON BUT DO NOT START!! WAIT APPROX. 20 MINUTES OR WAIT UNTIL THEFT LIGHT GOES OFF. TURN KEY TO OFF FOR 5 SECONDS THEN ATTEMPT TO START. IF IT STILL WONT START LEAVE KEY IN RUN POSITION FOR AN ADDITIONAL 20 MINUTES OR UNTIL THEFT LIGHT GOES OUT THEN ATTEMPT START AGAIN. MAKE SURE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED!!! IF THIS DOESNT WORK IT WILL HAVE TO GO TO DEALERSHIP FOR REPROGRAMMING WITH TECH 2 SCANNER.

1991 jeep cherokee laredo won't start

you can test your signal wire to the starter by having someone turn the key to start while you put a test light on the signal wire at the stater.If there is no signal on the light then there is a problem with the sending wire from the ignition.
