GTPSS Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Ok, so last wednesday I get out to leave work and no start. I have full power inside. After 20+ minutes being jumped-still no start. I rocked the key back and forth about 10 times and fired up. No issues that night or the next morning, I hop in and head to work. Now thursday night-no start PERIOD!!! It sat at work Friday/Saturday. Tried starting it Sunday, no go! Had AAA tow me home, put in a new starter and again no go! I can "hot wire" it-direct power to signal wire, it starts and runs fine. Just wont start with the key. Today (Monday) I replaced the ignition switch, starter relay, dropped in an Optima red top (all from my SS). Again NO go. I have a compustar remote start/keyless....I am thinking this is the issue, but Im a wiring idiot. The security light is lit until I turn the key, and/or goes off within a few seconds of the key being in the "on/run" position. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Seriously...My SS broke Saturday, and I gotta get this thing running before I can work on the SS. I know-great luck!!

Rocky31186 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Unplug the brain of the aftermarket alarm. And try to start it. I've seen that many times on cars. Alarm takes a crap or has a glitch and won't let the vehicle start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPSS Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 already did..forgot to mention that-no luck. I'm thinking maybe the "blade" compustar addon/bypass died, but I don't know how to check. I'm calling CCA in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPSS Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 All I gotta say is this is bullshit! 03 down since Wednesday, SS starts knocking Saturday...WTF!!! Had to vent!

Good fight? lol...Dude I was pissed and totally went off on the G/F for never modding her car. She needs to mod this thing-at least a tune a CAI. You only beet the guy by 3-4 buses. He hung pretty well I thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPSS Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Well, after replacing everything (and a blown ign jfuse) it still wouldnt start.... 10minutes later it fired right up and has started 3 times since. My only thought is blown fuse stopped it from starting, and took time with key in on pos to adjust. Long shot, but it sounded good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky31186 Posted May 8, 2012 Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 But what caused the blown fuse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPSS Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 No clue. Could have been me testing leads into starter relay? I never went back and rechecked fuses after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTPSS Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 Then i guess that leads to what started the issue in the first place. My guess? Neutral saftey or open ground from fuse block to nutral safety. Yeah..cant spell. On my phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
