Cadillac Repair: 97 deville wont start, happer, service garage

Question
When I turn the key on my caddie the starter goes tic tic tic and there is a noise coming from the loudspeakers that goes pook pook. I tried boosting the car and it still won't start. Can you help me???

Answer
Hello,


I am at a disadvantage not being at the vehicle. It sounds like the starter has gone out. Even a jump from another cars battery will not help when you have this situation. Sometimes the starter will engage after being tapped by a happer knocking it loose from the stuck position and sometimes not. The starter on this car is not rear easy to get to.

If you cannot get the starter loosened up from it's stuck position, you will need to have it towed to a service garage (not Cadillac) and have the starter replaced.
