Good video. I'm trying to help my dad in Montana (76 y.o.) while I'm here in WA state. I'll have him check the fuses you suggested. One thing I would ad about your repair job: Whenever I encounter a blown circuit and can't establish why it blew the fuse I will typically install a circuit breaker instead of a fuse so that if it does happen again it'll reset itself and not leave my customer stranded somewhere. If it keeps blowing the circuit breaker then it's time to look for a shorted circuit of course. I actually think my dad might have a problem in the security system. I'll have to confirm that he's using a resistor key and not a spare key that doesn't have the resistor in it. It does crank through the starter relay but not with the key. Anyway thanks for the great video.
That's exactly what is happening with my 2002 Buick Park Avenue ultra. Battery is good, all lights come on but when I try to start the car, I get absolutely nothing, no turn over, no clicking sounds. It's just silent. I will check my fuses tomorrow. I was making sure my engine wasn't seized as I haven't used the car in 3 years but I still have 75% oil in my engine and after pulling inn the crankshaft with a socket wrench, I have Zero problems turning my engine clockwise or counterclock wise. Thanks for the video.
Saw your video and checked the relays. Swapped #1 fan relay for the crank relay and like bam!! She started right up. 2000 regal ls. I was thinking I might have to tackle the starter. Was a relief. Thanks bigly.
I LOVE my '03 Impala 3800. I got rid of all the plastic and crap gaskets after 75K miles. Took off that plastic warping UIM which was 1 of 2 reasons coolant got in your oil and replaced it with ut an L26 Series III Aluminum top that I sanded out the sand cast on it then mirror polished to chrome finish, a few other minor mods needed by pretty much a swap. But before that I took out the LIM to replace the gaskets from hell with Felpro's and now my oil doesn't look like Yoo Hoo. Next away with leaking PLASTIC coolant elbows, replaced with new metal ones, no more leaks! To avoid oil from yet again plastic valve covers and yet again crap gaskets, spilling onto the exhaust and causing the car & homes to burn down, in the garbage went those covers and junkyard aluminum valve covers from a 97 Camaro F-body went on with Felpro gaskets. Again sanded, buffed to Chrome finish. Just for fun I buffed and polished the generator and stripped my dog bones down to steel and polished those as well. Could have bought polished aluminum dog bones but wheres the fun in that. Replaced the timing cover gasket a bit later due to leaks, yikes the engine is a beauty to survive forever but the gaskets where just pure money making devices for GM dealers which never see my car anyway. Added a K&N high flow clamp on filter cold intake air filter and my own custom box built of plexiglass and doorway draft trim gaskets as the new UIM makes using OEM filter box impossible, Next up is removing the throttle body and replacing with an L67 supercharged version, which requires a MAF table change and soon I'll convert the trans to the HD version with a few internal component changes. My baby purrs like a kitten and will live forever, only 130K miles on my '03. I just love customizing it. Nothing should stay together or unmodified! Im even going to run it on 2 cylinders like you guys showed a South Main Auto!!!!
Oh man, i have a similar issue. I jist drove down from deep in the mountains, got gas. No start, seems exactly like this issue. Same car. Im 900 miles from home stranded in a little town of 500 people. Haha.
Very to the Point, following strategy based diagnostics, and also a general good methodology that you don’t “learn “ from strategy based diagnostics. And by that I mean you said let’s see why this fuse blew , and after a test of the current and verifying the fix, you didn’t waste time hunting an issue that may exist, yes, but it’s not apparent or current enough to warrant the time. Now if the customer came back in 2 months with the same fuse blown I’d imagine you would be Hunting the issue :) thank you
Have the same problem the ignition switch was replaced few years ago as it acted up under certain conditions I have checked the relays the starter was replaced when it died I now will keep test light in the car have one just light other light and continuity tester let you know the outcome of my interminent no crank I miss my old cars especially my nova they were simple durable ran like hell got attention everywhere I went
Heat cycles will always cause a fuse to go bad, not just sometimes (even thermal fuses, without there ever being a current overload). It's just a matter of how long it takes. Automotive fuses are time-lag by definition, so many of them will be briefly overloaded each time the connected circuit powers on and, as I've said before, many brief/small overloads will blow a fuse just as surely as a one-time dead short will; this is inherent in the fuse's design... one can't mitigate against 'fatige' failures without compromising the 'one time big overload' breaking capacity.
Mine is doing the same thing but intermittently. I mess around for a few minutes it has started both times it's done it so far. Thanks for the video. I think I can figure it out now :)
I watched another video were a guy used a "jump wire" a piece of insulated wire and put it in where the starter relay goes and if it tries to start your starter is good.So it definitely needs a new starter relay fuse😁
@@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics I had a Problem like that There s lights But no crank no start ..I also had a Buick Park Ave 2003 3.8 litter engine . So I thought it was a starter or fuse. Can a Multi Meter works to test those fuse and how do you test a blown fuse with a multi meter ?
Yo Ivan! Any chance you did any looking near the MAF see if anyone had there mits in there doing the hoki poki? I see that feed runs PCM and MAF of all things haha. Here in our area mice love nesting in those pcm boxes that are down in the air box. Nice and warm and plenty of wires to snack on.
South Main Auto Repair Hey Eric, hope you are doing well. we missed you this week ... no videos yet we need something interesting, weird and possibly rusty hahaha
South Main Auto Repair Ah that's a good possibility! The tech did say this beauty was sitting in the shop lot for about a month, and this was the first time it didn't crank. I didn't feel too bad not digging deeper since this was just a quick 5-minute freebie :)
Re: 1998 Buick Lesabre Custom My problem is that the engine doesn’t want to fully turn over and fire up... this followed what appeared to be the Valet thinking someone was entering without validity. Ever since then, horn honks, marker lights flash intermittently, buttons in dash click! 🤷♀️🤢 I bought a new Battery, then a new starter, and now something in this Valet mode is still causing a drain on my car and I end up not being able to start it after a few days.

I have an 03 Buick LeSabre that's a no prime cycle no crank also lost all windows and doors locks and I have no communication to the ECM but I have checked every fuse in the car
I change the big battery fuse under the hood it was blown ..... I still have the same one click when I try to start it and the dash lights go off just like in this video...I removed the starter and tested it with a good battery, jumper cables and flat head screwdriver..... the starter is working
Hello Ivan. I really enjoyed your video with South Main Auto. Seen your name and found you on you tube. I've been following Scanner Danner for a while now. You kind of remind me of him. Going to watch the remainder of your videos. Keep up the great work. I do Diagnostics in Northwest Indiana. We have strict Emissions laws here. I hold a state certification for Emissions and the ASE L1. I watch anything Emission related. Nice to meet you.
+Richard Gill Hi Richard, thanks for the encouragement! I will admit Paul Danner is a big part of why I'm in this field. I love problem solving and variety...just seems to get more exciting every day!
+motoYam82 ok. I have a 97 Buick lesabre that won't start no after the starter solenoid switch went bad, do you think maybe it's the starter fuse relay bad???
I was driving my 02 park Avenue and it was running fine. Then out of no where it couldn’t get above 55 and 2k rpms and started overheating. Pulled over and it shut off before I could get to a parking lot. It would restart but need pedal feathering while starting and running to get it going. Got it towed home and parked it. And now it will not restart. No coolant in the oil and vice versa but a small amount of white smoke comes out the exhaust. I’ve replace coil packs but still no start. It will crank and try’s to start but just can’t. It try’s but can’t get all the way started. Talked to a 3.8 guy and he said it might be my intake and it was loose in the back. I tighten it and still no start. I read this thread and was wondering if anyone had any advice or suggestions on what it could be. The cooling system is all basically mud but it had been running fine. Security light flashes the whole time until door is shut but even then crank no start. Has fuel pressure and a fresh battery and new coil packs
I have a 2001 Buick lesabre just got new alternator and new battery It started up just fine. But when I went to start it up the next day no crank nor a light. I got a jump from one of my friends but still same thing some one please help? Could it be a fuse?
@@charleswinder8684 It was something dealing with a piece I needed to connect but I lost the part and I forgot. Somebody hit my car and I was able to get 2 new cars so sorry I can’t help now. I have a 2021 Toyota Camry now. That Buick put me through alot of stress hopefully you figure it out man.

i got a buick lasbra 2000 limited edition and it doing same say nothing wen u turn key so. can anybody give some ideals. on that promble some people told go change crank sensor n it start
I have a 96 Buick Regal no crank no start has a new starter in it has a new battery in it every time I go to starter head is click click click click sound but it started up but now it's going back to this click click click sound
Update: i had a loose battery connection. It had just enough of a connection to turn the lights and everything else on but not enough to start the car.
They have videos for that. Had a mobile mechanic do my Century. Went smooth for about a month, but now security light comes back on and I never know when it will start.
I have an 98 oldsmobile intrigue .. I tried to hook a aftermarket CD player , and I burnt something , I have no dashlights, it cranks but doesn't start
my 2004 buick lesabre had a similar problem. In my case it was the 3 screws that hold the under hood fuse box in. they were making just enough contact to light the light but not start the motor. dont know if someone had it out previously or what. I've had the car for 4 yrs & no problems. mechanic accidentally leaned on it while checking for problems & it made a noise. I got lucky but have heard of this problem before. tks
Thanks that's what fixed my 2007 Buick. Police officer unscrewed it when he was trying to remove horn fuse after my wife lost her keys. Once she found them after a couple of days it would not crank. Had dash lights but would not crank. Saw your comment and went out and tightened those three screws and it started right up. Thanks again for the post.
I'm havin' the same exact problem (2000 Century 3100). I'm not sure if it's the same fuse that you replaced, or the starter relay, a man and I did a bypass by touching a screwdriver to the starter as I used a needle nose on the ignition switch. It started, but when I stopped pumping the gas petal the engine cut off, any pointers sir?
l have a 98 park avenue and gear shift mechanism or socket is broken can l replace the shift mechanism without replacing the whole steering column? l got the part off of the car and can shift the gears by pulling on the transmission line from the steering wheel. so is that a thing .
i have a 01 buick lesabre and I’m having the same problems, except my dash board isn’t coming on or anything, I still getting power to my overhead lights and lock keys but that’s it. Would this be the same problem ?
I have a 96 Buick Regal no crank no start has a new starter in it has a new battery in it every time I go to start hear is click click click click sound but it started up but now it's going back to this click click click sound any ideas
Not without further testing...a lot of things can cause a crank no-start. But I am sure you can find out exactly what kinds of tests to do right here on UA-cam!
lol I actually used to work there part-time, then started my own business and they called me in for diags. Haven't been over here in a while now...maybe it's time for a visit :)
Hey, I have a 97 Buick LeSabre LTE And my security feature is on I out a new starter in the car brand new car still won't start! Everything lights up but I keep seeing the security light? Any ideas
take an ohm reading of the resistor plug in your ignition key, buy a risistor of the same value, find the orange wire running from the key cylinder down the steering column, cut it and expose two thin white wire splice the resistor in to the white wires leading to the module, start the car. you just bypassed the vats security system, your welcome
Like others have said find out what resistor plug is in your key and cut the orange wire coming from steering column and splice in the resistor that is the same value in ohms as the key plug into the 2 white wires Or you could just try unlocking the door with the door key
It seems like only illiterates watch your videos. Illiterates tend to be poor. Poor people often drive older cars. Old cars develop problems. Yet, generally speaking, these broke bastards are no more savvy or capable of fixing their own vehicles than the rich people who drive new cars and never have to worry about it... It's a rare individual who will take the time to read and learn, who will test and troubleshoot, acquire tools, and eventually fix it on their own. Take me, for example. My '93 Olds with over 250k has only been in the shop *one* time in the 15 years I've owned it, and that was to rebuild the trans.
You always make it look easier than it is, but I do love your contributions.
You exactly what you are doing, you're a very smart man. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

In my 10 years at a dealership I've seen dozens of blown fuses that got replaced and never blew again. It's more common than you would believe.

I LOVE my '03 Impala 3800. I got rid of all the plastic and crap gaskets after 75K miles. Took off that plastic warping UIM which was 1 of 2 reasons coolant got in your oil and replaced it with ut an L26 Series III Aluminum top that I sanded out the sand cast on it then mirror polished to chrome finish, a few other minor mods needed by pretty much a swap. But before that I took out the LIM to replace the gaskets from hell with Felpro's and now my oil doesn't look like Yoo Hoo.
Next away with leaking PLASTIC coolant elbows, replaced with new metal ones, no more leaks!
To avoid oil from yet again plastic valve covers and yet again crap gaskets, spilling onto the exhaust and causing the car & homes to burn down, in the garbage went those covers and junkyard aluminum valve covers from a 97 Camaro F-body went on with Felpro gaskets. Again sanded, buffed to Chrome finish.
Just for fun I buffed and polished the generator and stripped my dog bones down to steel and polished those as well. Could have bought polished aluminum dog bones but wheres the fun in that.
Replaced the timing cover gasket a bit later due to leaks, yikes the engine is a beauty to survive forever but the gaskets where just pure money making devices for GM dealers which never see my car anyway.
Added a K&N high flow clamp on filter cold intake air filter and my own custom box built of plexiglass and doorway draft trim gaskets as the new UIM makes using OEM filter box impossible,
Next up is removing the throttle body and replacing with an L67 supercharged version, which requires a MAF table change and soon I'll convert the trans to the HD version with a few internal component changes.

91 Pontiac Firebird 305 5.0 V8 TBI
Hi there for the last 3 days I have the exact same problem my battery is 2 years old and I drove the car no more than 5 times I did start it up every month for 30 min since it’s a project car but my point is 3 days ago I wanted to move my car to the sec garage with heat in it so I can clean ntinue working on it
and the battery was completely dead so I hooked up a charger and charged it for about 90minm
it looked all good and I started it right up let it run for 40min went shopping and got gas I shut it of filled with new gas and went home next day I tried to start car was dead so I jump started it but cranked started and died than it wouldn’t even crank anymore only the security lights that stays on and when I try to crank it the red park and brake light comes on fuel gage goes all the way but no crank some klick under the hood and steering column
no blown fuses vat system my key is a 10 with 3.750
but when I checked the connector under the dash the wires read the key resistance from the ignition key
but anyway I did get resistors and got it almos perfect to that what the key is
nothing security light still solid on
when I open up the starter relay on the side by the foot wall and press on it and turn the key it will crank and start but die after 2 sec and when I jump it with wires no relay same story dies after 3 sec I did notice my battery now after being charged up all 100% disconnected from the car it will drop down to about 70 to 60% of charge wierd the bat is basically new fuel pump is working to I even tried to jump the safety switch but no results pls help I have no idea what the problem is the car is a 91 Pontiac Firebird 305v8TBI with 183xxx it cool st me well over 10K by now since I got it for 2.7K it’s a Knight Right det Replica that’s why such costs thanks guys for the help I n advance 🍺😎
And just so u know I just tested the codes on it no check engine light on but got these codes 53 54 45 the system High voltage is what concerns me cuz theO2 sensor is du to no muffler on my car fixing the rear axle root

I have a 96 Buick Regal no crank no start has a new starter in it has a new battery in it every time I go to starter head is click click click click sound but it started up but now it's going back to this click click click sound
What if its clicking, the dash needles go crazy and everything comes on??
Update: i had a loose battery connection. It had just enough of a connection to turn the lights and everything else on but not enough to start the car.
what's that tool you used to jump the starter relay

I have a 99 Buick lesabre and it dose the same thing and I checked all the fuses as well and they are all good still won’t start

How can I bypass or reset the anti theft deterrent system on a 2008 Pontiac Grand prix
They have videos for that. Had a mobile mechanic do my Century. Went smooth for about a month, but now security light comes back on and I never know when it will start.
I have an 98 oldsmobile intrigue .. I tried to hook a aftermarket CD player , and I burnt something , I have no dashlights, it cranks but doesn't start
Very disappointed in service can't get a straight answer about 1999 buick Lesabre fuse box location
my 2004 buick lesabre had a similar problem. In my case it was the 3 screws that hold the under hood fuse box in. they were making just enough contact to light the light but not start the motor. dont know if someone had it out previously or what. I've had the car for 4 yrs & no problems. mechanic accidentally leaned on it while checking for problems & it made a noise. I got lucky but have heard of this problem before. tks
Thanks that's what fixed my 2007 Buick. Police officer unscrewed it when he was trying to remove horn fuse after my wife lost her keys. Once she found them after a couple of days it would not crank. Had dash lights but would not crank. Saw your comment and went out and tightened those three screws and it started right up. Thanks again for the post.
@@kermitkanode6508 Same thing happened to me. I tightened the screws and whalahhh!!
Great video my man! thanks!!
What if you put gas in your gas tankqand it wasn't gas after all and you haven't had been able tostart in your car
I have a buick rivera 97 supercharged. Mine does this a lot sometimes i have to wait 5 minutes to try it again to start it. No idea why it does it
What caused the fuse to pop
That's the question of the century...
I have a 03 buick lesabre and it doing the same thing but its not doing nothing now
What if you PUt gas in your tank but it was not gas after all
what does control side mean.
I'm havin' the same exact problem (2000 Century 3100). I'm not sure if it's the same fuse that you replaced, or the starter relay, a man and I did a bypass by touching a screwdriver to the starter as I used a needle nose on the ignition switch. It started, but when I stopped pumping the gas petal the engine cut off, any pointers sir?
My 01 Buick LeSabre does this but it clicks one time... please help is that the same problem I have could it be my fues too ?
I just get a click when I try to start my car then the dash lights go off.
What if you have to disconnect the battery for the starter motor to cut off ? Because i have the same problem
So the engine rotates Clockwise. Good to know. Thank you! 🙏

How do I start my car without a key 2002 Buick regal
l have a 98 park avenue and gear shift mechanism or socket is broken can l replace the shift mechanism without replacing the whole steering column? l got the part off of the car and can shift the gears by pulling on the transmission line from the steering wheel. so is that a thing .
i have a 01 buick lesabre and I’m having the same problems, except my dash board isn’t coming on or anything, I still getting power to my overhead lights and lock keys but that’s it. Would this be the same problem ?
at 1:30 its call a AESWave uActivate Ultimate Circuit Breakout Box : you're welcome
Finding out what that thing was call was not an easy task lol
I used mine once, but now it just gathers dust on the shelf. Fused jumper wire and test light is easier lol
I've been trying to find one a friend of mine car has the same problem if not being used I'll buy it if you want to sell it :)
Thanks dude
can a fuse look good (not be broken), but test bad with a test light?
How do I fix my gauges and cluster?
Im having this same problem on a 97 buick lesabre limited I've checked all the fuses and they are good any ideas on what i can do
miguel montes did you ever figure out the problem
Bro, I'm having the same problem. 97 Buick LeSabre limited. Crank no start I have spark. Did u fix yours?
Wat was that tool u used to start the car from the fuse box
How can i find you?
i got Buick that does same think but die when i was driving n would not crank back up
Jaylon Pettus
Just had that happen . Did you found out what was wrong with it?
what is the relay jumper you use im looking for one
What FUSE was this exactly?
I have a 96 Buick Regal no crank no start has a new starter in it has a new battery in it every time I go to start hear is click click click click sound but it started up but now it's going back to this click click click sound any ideas
Check for voltage drop to the starter solenoid, as well as your charging system! Can you jump-start it OK?
Mark Torrence and
What is a PCM??
I have a 2001 Buick LeSabre that does this but it crank if I hold the key in the start position.some one says it's the ignition switch .
Someone is taking a wild guess ;)
motoYam82 well do u have any idea
Not without further testing...a lot of things can cause a crank no-start. But I am sure you can find out exactly what kinds of tests to do right here on UA-cam!
hey i have an 04 centry and whem im driving it ssems like it does not want to get full power and seens like the idle is running high
Kinda seems like you work on more cars at Absolute than they do..
lol I actually used to work there part-time, then started my own business and they called me in for diags. Haven't been over here in a while now...maybe it's time for a visit :)
In this case, they couldn't figure out that it was the flippin' fuse?!
Hey, I have a 97 Buick LeSabre LTE
And my security feature is on I out a new starter in the car brand new car still won't start! Everything lights up but I keep seeing the security light? Any ideas
+motoYam82 please help with any Ideas of you could.
+FarFrom HomeLove Scan the Vehicle Theft Deterrent module for codes.
take an ohm reading of the resistor plug in your ignition key, buy a risistor of the same value, find the orange wire running from the key cylinder down the steering column, cut it and expose two thin white wire splice the resistor in to the white wires leading to the module, start the car. you just bypassed the vats security system, your welcome
@@anthonyfalante5613 my 97 buick lesabre is doing this as well. And done what you said to. And its still not starting. Any other ideas please??
Like others have said find out what resistor plug is in your key and cut the orange wire coming from steering column and splice in the resistor that is the same value in ohms as the key plug into the 2 white wires Or you could just try unlocking the door with the door key

Sounds like Chris fix.
Except that Chris Fix doesn't know the difference between an EGR valve and a Mass Air Flow sensor LOL!

So where did all the 1987 Honda cars go? Hidden in every ones shop, or scraped due to shit design.
It seems like only illiterates watch your videos. Illiterates tend to be poor. Poor people often drive older cars. Old cars develop problems. Yet, generally speaking, these broke bastards are no more savvy or capable of fixing their own vehicles than the rich people who drive new cars and never have to worry about it... It's a rare individual who will take the time to read and learn, who will test and troubleshoot, acquire tools, and eventually fix it on their own. Take me, for example. My '93 Olds with over 250k has only been in the shop *one* time in the 15 years I've owned it, and that was to rebuild the trans.
Should have rebuilt it yourself then. You shouldn't be so judgmental prick
