I have the exact same problem with my 02 TB. Same EXACT problem. Tow it to the dealer and it works fine. They replaced the egnition switch and I thought it was fixed (not so). It has only happened twice in 6 months but I hate the fact that it can occur at anytime and no body seems to know how to fix it. Keep me updated on what you find out.
Sad Puppy.

I've ran into this problem while installing my new intake and JET chip... In order to install these components, you have to take off the leads to the battery... Anyway, after installation, I put the leads back on and tried to start the car but no luck... I did notice that the interior lights weren't on and the door ajar chime wasn't chiming so I new something was wrong, other than that everything else was on (radio, gauges, etc.) I retightened the positive lead and everything went back to normal. It didn't even turn that much. My suggestion is to try to retighten your positive lead to your battery or take off your positive lead and then put it back on to reset your ecu... Hope it works, good luck!

Samo-Samo. Wife's 2002 TB doing exactly the same thing. First happened on Memorial Day - mechanic tapped the starter, and it started. Thinking it may be a flat spot, we decided to replace the starter (not cheap)! Service Center had it for three days, started every time. They cleaned and re-tightened the battery cables (as a precaution)! Even drove it around town on errands-no problem. Picked it up, and drove it home yesterday PM. Approx. one hour later, it did the same thing. Try to start it, gauges roll up like they should, but doesn't start. No noises - nothing! Help........somebody.......anybody!

Did you check the other end of the battery cables? Like any grounds and other connections that may be buried in a taped over harness.
Take a look over in the "No Start" Problems discussion too.

Steve, Just had another episode when the TB didn't start. Mechanic checked those connections you mentioned with no results. Took off the under hood fuse box cover, and after checking around there was able to briefly get the starter to engage (but only once)! Had his thumb on a fuse applying pressure when this happened. He now believes the problem may be a connection inside the fuse box.
Will keep you posted.
Wonder how the other guys turned out?

I have an 02 TB that is in the shop for the 4th time in the past couple months, and now with the 3rd different mechanic with the same problem of not starting. Just checking in to see if anybody else has had any luck in getting the problem fixed.

Yes, my sister had a GM vehicle and had the same problem over and over. It ended up after 3 years it was the computer chip in the key. It wasn't calibrated or programed correctly to her car. So sometimes it would start and sometimes not because the program #s were so close. When the car is shut off for ten minutes everything resets and then THIS time the key and the car were in agreement. Hope this helps....don't know the correct vocabulary on this subject but I hope it gives you and all others who own GM some help. By the way, my sister just bought a new car and it WASN'T"T a GM because, after all her research, they seem to have electrical problems a lot!!! Good Luck!!

I have purposely delayed my response for over a month since getting the wife's 02 TB back from the shop. Has been working perfectly! What was wrong? Mechanic doesn't know exactly, but took the under hood fuse box apart, and checked connections. Although he didn't notice any loose contacts, or think it needed much of a cleanup (which he did anyway), there hasn't been any problems since. The wife is happy, so I'm happy!
