2009 Buick Enclave No start / No crank Solved

[@brettbeez]

UPDATE: since I have replaced this relay I have NOT had any problems since!

[@juancaballero8107]

How did you diagnost was the ignition switch relay??

[@brettbeez]

@@juancaballero8107 so being raised by a car guy (my dad) he taught me you always start with the cheapest fixes 1st. I am pretty familiar with how cars work and know that it takes multiple things to make one thing work properly, so with this specific issue I knew my battery was good, starters never just go out without being slow or burning up, so it had to be a fuse or relay. This answer might not help but hopefully it does LoL

[@juancaballero8107]

@@brettbeez Thanks for your reply, and your time. Have a nice day.

[@TheMochaangel]

Will the enclave make a grinding sound in attempt to turn over but never turn?? How would one know if its starter from relay sound wise? I have all my lights and music turn on but no turn over.

[@brettbeez]

@@TheMochaangel if you're hearing grinding your starter is more than likely bad and it's not a relay.

[@peaceseeker1728]

Thank you, I was stuck at Dollar General in the heat and this worked for me! I just took it out, blew in both ends like we used to do our Nintendo game back in the 80s/90s and I was good to go. Thanks a million!!

[@brettbeez]

Haha that's awesome

[@archiegunn2266]

Replaced multiple relays for short term fixes. The relays were fine though. The issue was the fuse box not being securely mounted. It is secured by two bolts going through the relay box. They would not tighten securely, creating intermittent starting. Back the bolts out some, slide in a slip lock washer or piece of curved wire under the bolt heads, and tighten.

[@JoelFay]

Awesome illustration of the problem and the solution! Fixed our 2010 Enclave. The aftermarket part stores seemed to be a bit confused on how to identify the replacement. Thanks Brett!

An absolutely fantastic video. I’m having the same problem with my 2012 Buick enclave with all the bells and whistles and trouble the other night coming home screen got darker and darker and darker less voltage all of a sudden just quit! It looks like to me it’s a simple fix it’s gonna do it. I’m gonna get one today and put it in! I’m 77 years old a shade tree mechanic from back in the 60s. This video is fantastic.

I am having same exact issue with 2013 Buick enclave in 6/2023. Autozone said scanner read " good battery, good starter and good alternator". It also gave no codes. The young worker said it could be a starter relay. Your video had confirmed it. I will go immediately to buy these parts.

[@brettbeez]

Hope it solves your issues!

[@sarahlysobey2917]

Update: 2 days later on Monday my car wouldn't start after I went to work. The entire weekend I drove to9 different stores without incident. The guys at work tried to boost the battery They went to AutoZone to get me a new battery. It wouldn't turnover. Had to jump the new battery. It started. I took it to the auto shop immediately. I needed a new starter. I live in Texas where the heat is EXTREME. Wears out the battery and starter faster.

[@scannerlanier471]

2007 buick lacrosse. Same thing. I tested the battery, was good, changed anyway as older, still the same. I replaced the starter thinking it probably had shorted armiture. Same thing. The horn and crank relays are the same, swapped the two around and it started right up. Horn still works with the starter relay, but I'll get a replacement and put the original horn relay back in place. Thank you for your video, our LaCrosse did the exact same as your display did. Thanks again.

[@marcusanthony2849]

For months!!! I delt with this problem. It went from a weak start up, to over time a very slow and diminishing start up to a point where the car wouldn't start at all sometimes. I'm talking being stranded for hours, and resorting to Superstition rituals of turning the key a certain amount of times to start it. I even unplug the battery to reset everything a few times and now I know it was only by coincidence that'd seem to would work on rare occasions. Kept getting "Full Pump control circuit code" I flirted with replacing the fuel pump, replacing the starter and literally found no other help online and even my mechanic was lost on what was going on. Finally!! I googled " Buick Enclave starts when it wants" end quote. And your video popped up first. Did exactly what you said and BOOM! Car starts up fine now. Bro, I was fixing to give up on this car. Brett you saved me so much time and unnecessary stress! Simple can't thank you enough. I don't give a f*ck that I don't follow car content on YT.. I still subscribed because I owe you big time for this one. Thanks again 🤗

[@brettbeez]

I'm glad this helped you out this is why i posted the video to help anyone who had the same problem my wife was going thru, she had this problem for months and its always best to start with the cheaper smaller parts like fuses and relays before jumping in and replacing parts like alternator and starter or ignition switches.

Brett Battan I bought the part #13500114 at the dealership for $25.66. I swapped it out and it starts the first turn of the key! Cool! So I swapped cars with my wife at work. I get a phone call later that she had to do it 2 times to start. Damn! What do you suggest? Looking to try the least expensive route before giving up to take it to the dealership. The car has a recent battery and has been trouble-free up until this point. Thank you for your help!

[@brettbeez]

@@HarryWangHungLo hmm I would say start with the other relay I mentioned in the video for the actual ignition. But 1st maybe give it a couple days of driving before running and buying anything else and just see if it works it out. And let me know, but if anything move onto the ignition relay next. Part number 1350-0113 ignition relay.

[@HarryWangHungLo]

Brett Battan Thanks again for your reply! Okay, I did an experiment by waiting at least 5 seconds when I’m at the “accessory” part of the key lock then, I start the car. It works. Prior to my very first try after installing the new relay, I didn’t count 5 seconds. I simply turned the key quickly. So, my wife took the car out for errands. She made multiple stops to do some shopping. She counted for 5 seconds then attempted to start the car. So far, it has started the first time at each location of her stops. I’m hoping this is the “fix”. I’ll continue this routine. I’ll update like a month from now to all who are interested. Thank you again man!!!

@@brettbeez hi there !!! so, i recall that with car insurance you are allowed free tows and jump starts. Well, the tow came, jump started the buick enclave and that was it. Now he said i was showing “10” something level, he said it should be at “20”. I immediately drove it to AutoZone, they tested, it was at “59% capacity”, and the Autozone guy said it should be at 100%. Unfortunately i dont have money for a new battery due to unforeseen circumstances. I hope that all goes well tomorrow. Also, because the battery is behind the passenger rear seat, AZ said that they cant put the battery in, but i could buy one for $200. SMH, I’m praying for a blessing. Thanks for all your info.

@@TheMochaangel go to Costco! You get the same spec battery for about $100 i don't buy them from anywhere else. It's super easy to replace you just need a torx bit (looks like a star) type screw driver to remove the floor panel. Then a socket set to remove the battery clamp and cables. You're battery should be at 14-15volts when running and between 12/13v when the car is completely off anything less and the battery is going bad

[@TheMochaangel]

@@brettbeez thank you so much… so on the dashboard (right side) it would read slightly above 14. Regarding removing it, thats directly behind the front passenger but rear seat, on the floor panel, correct? Since places are so scary and dont want to replace it because its not under the hood, is it possible to drive with the floor panel part already unscrewed, and while at it, with whatever other bolts loosened ? The guy at Autozone said “we have a max, we can spend more than 10-15 mins out here”, which i have had them work on my vehicle for longer. By chance can you upload a video on how to remove and replace the battery? step by step please, only if its not a bother.

Side detection system ran a feed back into dash modules for me. Unplugged them solved the problem. Symptom no locks, no fob, no radio, no battery gauge, no crank, no signals, no power windows, antitheft light would come on and stay on when battery dropped to zero on dash. New battery also read 11.6 volts, as well as old battery. Side detection caused feedback, pcm told modules to shut off, and engine to not crank. Fixed it after new battery and paid tow truck driver to bring me home. Hope this helps someone.

[@ormondgamer7175]

Replaced this and would not crank still. Had it towed to house and cranked with a jump at house. Has cranked every time so far for four days

[@brettbeez]

If it cranks with a jump you might have a battery issue. Maybe loose terminal or battery is failing?

[@keldawells4952]

I'm having this exact issue but today it cranked and would not start???

[@brettbeez]

Hmmm could be this relay, could be bad fuel pump. Turn your power on but don't crank them listen to hear the fuel pump run. (it'll make a humming/vibrating sound) if you can't hear it, that might be the problem. But the cheap and easy step could be replace this relay.

My 2013 Buick Enclave did this exact thing about a 1 and a half ago. I took it to the dealership and they told me the alternator needed to be replaced they wanted to charge me 1300 to replace my alternator. I said no thanks had my alternator checked elsewhere and they told me alternator was fine. The weird thing is after I had the other shop check my alternator my issue went away. Only now a year and half later I have the same issue again. Gonna try to replace the relays you show here and see if that helps. Also not sure if it’s coincidence or what but when I can’t get it to start turning the key I have better luck using remote start. Might just be coincidence but thought I’d mention it. Once I replace the relay I’ll reply with an update.

[@brettbeez]

Let me know how it works out. When my relays started going out, it only happened once in a while but slowly it happened more and more.

[@HunterSmith-re1mu]

Theres another relay and I cant remember what number but the relay heats up and the car will die. I want to say its 27 not sure. It will die out and wont start again until the relay cools off.

@@brettbeez my wiper fuses keep blowing and my back hatch won't open could it be electrical

[@brettbeez]

@@imogenebuchanan9975did you put the right Amp fuse in? if your fuse keeps blowing with the right amp you might have a bad ground some where. The BCM is behind the glovebox on the passenger side you could remove the glovebox and panel that covers it and tighten it down.

have a 08 buick enclave and when i jump it it will run good all day but when i turn it off sometimes it will start and sometimes it wont the altenator is good and so is the battery so what could be the issue when i turn the key over it has power but when i try to start it there is no power

[@brettbeez]

Either one of the relays that i mention in the video or your starter is bad

[@stonerganggaming]

[@santerriomcleod6584]

I'm having the same problem but I wait a few minutes and it starts up I will try a new relationship switch

[@brettbeez]

That's what was happening to ours. Wouldn't crank at all then it would.

[@akfuneral9056]

What if I hear a click also? The power goes out the same way in the first part of your video and then it clicks. If I turn the keys so many times and it doesn’t start, then I have to get a jump because it seems my battery is drained. Sometimes I have a slow turn over 🤦🏻‍♂️ sometimes I get a service charging system message. Now a check engine light came on so I’m going to take it to auto zone to run that code test first and then see what’s going on. Only thing I have done so far is get my battery checked and they said it was good.

[@brettbeez]

You have a bad alternator is what is sounds like to me.

[@heathalbritton]

2011 buick enclave, I was driving and all of a sudden couldn't accelerate, couldn't turn the wheel, was able to turn it just enough to get into the median and call a tow truck to tow me home. When I try to crank it all the lights turn off like yours did in the video. Tried jumping it off, no success, it doesn't make any noise at all when I try to start it. Could this be the same thing? When everything stopped working when I was driving, the stabilitrak light came on and said it's off, now it says low fuel level, even though I put in gas before all this happened today. But still won't crank and no noise whatsoever when I try to crank it.

[@brettbeez]

You might have a bad Body control module but try these relays 1st especially the ignition relay (the one I did not replace) . The reason you couldn't turn the wheels is because with the engine dead there's no power steering to assist you turning the wheels. The crank relay would only prevent you from starting it I don't believe it would cause it to shut off in the middle of driving, But the ignition relay could cause that I would assume no signal is being sent to the coils. Stabiltrak most likely came on because of the power failure just warning you. Try changing them both. As it would be about a $35 fix to buy both relays. Go to the dealer to get them.

[@heathalbritton]

@@brettbeez I'll add that my power windows still work when the key is in the on switch, but of course, not cranked since it wont crank. I don't know if a bad body module would make the power windows stop working or not. My back hatch will also not open from just pressing the button on the door, I didn't try it with the keyfob or button on the dash.

[@brettbeez]

@@heathalbritton try replacing the ignition relay. But if you have certain accessories not working with the power on I could be the BCM (body control module) what you can do is locate it under the passenger side of the dash where the kick panel is pull that cover down and tighten the bolt that holds it in place. Sometimes after driving for years they become a little loose.

[@heathalbritton]

Brett Battan an update. The back hatch opens if the key is in the ignition and turned “on” just as my power windows and everything else works. But if I take the keys out and close the doors, the key fob will not open the back hatch and it won’t work with the button on the back. It will open if the key is turned into the on position.

My 2008 Buick Enclave would shut off while driving and would start back up occasionally and then got to the point where it wouldn't crank anymore and was dead for a while and I ran into this video and spent $50 replacing those fuses to still NOT being able to crank and AutoZone said "Sorry, can't get your money back on those parts."....I got a friend of mine who is a diagnositc specialist help me and we diagnosed it to be the ECM (Electric Control Module AKA the Computer) He told me to get someone in the car and you stand in the front of the engine bay with the hood open...on the right hand side (drivers side) you will see a metal component with ridges on it and 3 plugs of wires that plug into it that sits on the facing the engine on the front side of the frame close to the drivers side headlight area. He told me to hold a screwdriver and get someone in the car to turn the key like if they are trying to crank the car...he then said to lightly tap the metal fins that component has, and if it turns right on it's the ECM. It cost me $387 through Advanced Auto cause they have to buy it through a dealer so that they can program the new ECM to your Enclave after you give them your VIN Number. Make sure you take off the old one or they will charge you a $70 core charge. I hope this works for you if this is the situation.

[@guidanceemission4870]

Mine is throwing crankshaft fuse ?

[@clarissamassey481]

What is that part called?

It's called a relay. Part number is in the video and in the description.

Great video. I'm just a little confused which relay did you replace the crank or the ignition relay I'm too cheap to buy both. I'm having the exact problem with my wife's

I have exact truck in 08. My problem is will start but shouts off without warning. Driving 30 or 65 mph, just off. I was thinking bad fuel pump, but started cheapest with relay. Haven't put it in yet so crossing my fingers

[@brettbeez]

Yeah you might have a bad fuel pump or fuel filter. Try those. Sounds like your fuel pump is getting hot then shutting off

What if u hear it a crank but won't turn over

[@brettbeez]

So it cranks but won't start? Does it try to start? If so You might have a bad fuel pump. Or you could replace the ignition relay (that's the one I did NOT replace) which is a faster cheaper fix if that doesn't work you most likely have a bad fuel pump

[@moonpaws1]

Haha. Add me to the list of relay victims. I knew it was probably a relay. I took it in to the shop today for them to check and told them it was either the starter going bad, a relay, or maybe my alternator going out. I already did a load test on the battery, and it was good. They couldn't locate the problem.

[@brettbeez]

I'm glad this helped out! A lot of places will fail to check relays or even overlook it because they can't duplicate the problem you're having or the car won't fail to start when they're inspecting it. But yes start with there fuses and relays first cheapest parts always the place to start 😂
