Cadillac Repair: 2001 Cadilac sometimes starts, solinoid, loose wire

Question
I have problems getting my car to start. Some times it will start  20 times without a hitch, then someday it really is a hassle to get it start. It just clicks. I can get out and mess around with wires and sometimes it will start. The battery has been tested as good. I never know when I go to go, if I am going to be able to go. Very limited income, so difficult to take to dealership.

Answer
Hello,

I tell people, the last place you want to take your car for repair is the dealer. There are many competent garages out there for half the price.


Intermitent problems are har to find and expensive to fix. You could have a bad starte solinoid of if it helps to start it by playing with the wiring,you couls have a loose wire coming from the battery to the starter solimoid.

THe reasons for my thought is your discription that it only clicks when you try to start it.
