Hello,
I have a 2001 Grand Prix SE 3.1 V6 that won't start anymore. In the past I would intermittently have the problem where the car would not turn over when you turned the key. All that would happen is you'd hear a few relays click. The problem would solve itself if you sometimes just re-turned the key or held the key for a few seconds. Well now starting last night it will not start at all with the key. When I turn the key everything powers up and I can hear the sound of two relays engaging. One under the hood (driver side) and one under the glove box.
I've tested the battery and battery connections. I've had the starter/solenoid tested three times today and it passes. The car starts up perfectly if you jump the solenoid with a screw driver.
Could it be the ignition switch? I don't want to start pouring money into the car until I get a rough idea what's causing the problem.
Does anyone have an idea what might be the problem?
