Thank you! The relay jumper got us running. You saved the day for my buddy. Seriously, thanks a lot.

Great video, i did not know about such a easy made push button in Amazon. Thanks, you 17 yet smarter than many so called mechanics in Atlanta at least.

Hey I like your approach I did the same on my 95 ford 150 fuel pump but I hook it up to a relay that was hot and boom been riding ever since I also put a Chevy radiator in my truck with a electric fan of a Toyota four runner and it runs cooler

Well arent you a brillant 17 year old my goodness man i was just about to replace my starter but i noticed that when it did crank it sound strong and not failing at all i had no idea it was a starter fuse box that could be by passed wow you saved me a lot of money and headaceh i was looking up youtube video to replace the starter

Great video man .

[@royrichards4142]

Something else that has worked for me so far is to turn the key to the on position and wait about 30 seconds and then try to start the Car. I read this somewhere and has worked so far but no garrantees it will always work.

Why does your car start now with key what did you fix or replace ?

[@jeffreyjones6409]

Quick question for you. Do you put the relay back in the fuse box to help hold the wires in place or just leave it out? Thanks.

[@jakestansberry7626]

I put the relay back in

[@mattpack7660]

How did you get the cover off of the fuse box?

[@jrkovar]

Did you try replacing the relay?

[@annmccall5183]

Hey babe! Thanks I love this! So if I just put a short wire in the relay pins it will crank with the key? (Until the push button comes) I’ve already paid mechanic to reset and then to replace computer and I’m right back at no crank!!!

[@dustinyamchuk7400]

What did you end up doing??? Thx

[@shelbycook7662]

You got a new computer and it still did the same thing after ? 😮

[@StarJar58]

No you don't crank with the key ma'am. You're using the other circuit you made for the cranking part of the key action.

[@deossie2710]

You are FAF🤣But it does work

[@benlaurence4714]

Thanks 👍 one day m'y car just shut down when i Drive and another Day the car dont stop the push button dont work i take out the battery and the car still running 😂

[@Its-Mrs-Ladd]

Once you stick a wire into the two slots and the engine starts, do you just leave the wire in the slots and drive? Or do you take the wire out once the car has started? I have the exact same model and year car and it suddenly won't start or do anything when I try to start the car.

[@fierypancakes3985]

I know it's a bit late, but once the wires are hooked up to the button, you can put the relay back into it overtop the wires, and leave it there. For some reason, my CTS works with the button, but i don't even need to use the button to start it, I just press it to turn the engine over, and the key works afterward, and the key also works 10min after using the button. Kinda weird but, it works.

Got a 2007 cts 3.6 Car shut off while I was driving home from work, now doesn’t want to start at all, no power, and key is stuck in the ignition. Any pointers or tips appreciated, just wanna get my car back on the road. Starter relay has power, only when taken off and replaced with a hot wire.

[@donniemedlin4217]

Hey buddy I have the same model and issue it's either a wiring issue or the ecm I had an aftermarket remote start installed before I bought it and didn't know the dealership removed it and put a new wiring harness and the problem went away for a couple months but now it is back at the shop with the same problem if no check engine light is on its probably a wiring issue

[@Mrkevi123]

Whats the actual fix? What has failed?

[@josephstepp1882]

Previous owner didn’t program the ECM to the cars vin that’s why it “didn’t work” either that or the key still needs programmed after changing it

[@alpersichino1486]

Your blend door on your air conditioning is not shutting and closing underneath the dash maybe if you go in next to the glove box with the car off no keys in it of course and see and then find the blend door they'll be like a wire that's might just be plastic or servo and that shuts and opens to make it hot or cold the bumping in the rear end of your car that could be anything you joints of shock broke anything

[@cassius5178]

so with the push button connected in the fuse box where and what does the power wire connect to and from ?

[@jakestansberry7626]

2 wires from the push button go to the 2 pins on the starter relay. doesn’t matter what wire goes to which pin, all the push button does is complete the circuit when you press in on it, causing both pins to connect and start the car (as long as the key is turned to the “on/acc” position)

[@susanhenneberry8346]

So does the key release every time or do you still have to use the key release under the steering wheel

[@tmoelowg713]

@@susanhenneberry8346there’s a lil button when u remove the bottom part of the plastic to see it it’s what u push in when it locks so what u do it get a lil thin tie strip n rap it around the pin then tighten it so that when it wants to lock it won’t be able too

Cómo sacar cilindro ignición de cadillac2003

[@okaygee4132]

Will this bypass the ignition immobilizer module?

[@darkgemini0520]

That's a hard no... This only bypasses the starter relay. It's generally how to test your starter in the event of a no crank/no fire event. I didn't make this video however, I'm doing work on the same model of car and did this to test the starter. This one cranks but, no fire when bypassing the relay to crank it. Still researching the problem.

[@aesthetical97]

​@@darkgemini0520 did u figure it out

[@darkgemini0520]

@@aesthetical97 I didn't want to believe it but, yes... The bypass cranked the starter but, wouldn't fire the engine... No matter what I did, it just wouldn't work... I wound up figuring out that there was no communication between the ignition and the computer (ecm), which is why the ignition wouldn't crank the starter... After tracking down all of the fuses including the fuse boxes under the rear seat, my fears were confirmed... The computer went bad rendering the whole system unresponsive... A used one was installed and programmed however, it went bad as well the following week... Apparently, that model car had an issue with that computer... My research revealed that 9/10 used replacements didn't work at all and 4/5 brand new replacements did... For as much as they cost brand new, only 80% of them was expected to work... If you're having the same issue, try the fuse box under the back seat first... There's a fuse that goes to the ignition back there... There are 2 boxes, one on the driver's side, the other on the passenger side... The passenger side is the one you want to check... The boxes are concealed behind the carpet... This was only discovered when I researched the wiring diagrams associated with that car... If you have any more questions, feel free to ask...

Probably something glitchy with the engine control module. I just bought an 05 cts and I've already been experiencing odd intermittent electrical issues and it basically stems from the ecm

Just wondering why ya didnt replace the Relay?

[@jakestansberry7626]

Replaced the relay with a brand new one and still doesn’t work. This is a common issue on these caddy’s. Has to do with the engines computer. Had the computer replaced and it still didn’t fix it, so this was a last resort fix.

I forgot the name of the switches I need. It’s not momentarily.

[@philipe.9738]

@@jakestansberry7626 The DTS is similar. It's the wiring harness being too tight in places thus causing chafing and subsequently random shorts. I'm looking at the wiring diagram right now as we have an '06 DTS trailer queen that was a no start. The ES Short Buddy is on the way. Their relay test kit is great too.
