I recently ..June 21st .leased a new Buick lacrosse. Everything fine until last week at an intersectionn. I was stopped, hit the gas and the car went dead... I mean dead. I put the car in park tried it nothing pulled the key and tried it again several times ..finally about 1 minute passed and the car started up. That was on a Wednesday i believe. left for the weekend and the car sat for three days. When I went to start it up. same thing ..nothing. There was pleanty of battery ..all the guages and lights worked but nothing to the starter. I had it towed to the dealer who has tried for two days to replicate the scenario and cannot. GM is claiming that they do not know of any problems with the car. Anyone have any ideas? The dealer now wants me to take the car back and obviously I do not want it. |

Replying to: csesa (Jul 26, 2006 3:41 pm) Replace Fuse #15 (Powertrain Control Module) in the Underhood Fuse Block. On very rare occasions, the fuse is defective and/or does not make proper contact with the contacts in the fuse socket when the engine compartment heats up. Usually works fine when everything is cold. |

Replying to: dell46 (Jan 20, 2007 8:52 am) Does your car have a battery and fuse connection box under the rear seat? Tighten all main bolts for the power and ground. Careful-remove negative first at battery. Do same for underhood power distribution. I've read of some gremlins in cars that were fixed by doing that. Have you tried turning key on then off. And then turning again to see if it starts on second try without actually doing crank on first try? I had problems with VATS unit on earlier leSabre not reading key when put in fast and rotated quickly to start. Security resistor code didn't get read and reported to powertrain computer quickly enough. Later cars use a key encoder rather than resistor but might be related.
