2010 Cadillac Srx4 no start just click everything else works

The starter was junk. installed a new one still just clicked. problem was the original was so bad it drew over 300 amps and blew the 300 amp fuse in the fuse block that sits on top of the battery. You can either rig it up by taking it apart and cutting out the fuse and using a certain type of audio system fuse or rig it another way with wire but we ordered a new one from the dealer at business cost for $83. can find cheaper online. everything will work in the car and solenoid clicks but there's no power going to the starter wire so that's all it does because of this fuse.

Man because of you I fixed mine today as soon as the fuse plate came from eBay I was able to get for $14 bucks plus free shipping except the 250 fuse on the plate wasn’t the culprit like most mine was caused by the 300 amp fuse section of the plate may God continue to bless you and yours sir thanks again

I'm glad I could help. I try to record oddball stuff that might help people. Haven't had much lately though. I think the last thing I did was an AC compressor not kicking on and turned out to be a wire broke in the top of the motor from rubbing the bolt head for years but alas not video. Was in a hurry because it was already sold.

How did you jump that to make it start. Mines doing the dame thing. One click from the starter solenoid then nothing

[@james102377]

Just run a thick wire with alligator clips on each side of that black plastic piece so they're connected. The part that blows is inside it like a blade fuse except it's opaque and non removable.

Mine is on and wont go of brand new alternator and starter but still just clicks

[@james102377]

Run a somewhat thick jumper wire across those big fuses bypassing them and try. Make sure it's a good connection. You can't even tell these things are burnt out or possibly corroded off. Everything looked normal but that wasn't the case. I think when I tried a multimeter it showed power but it was still bad. I'm assuming it burnt out enough to barely make a connection and when you try to start it heated up and broke the connection like a turn signal relay.

Make sure your battery is good too because a junk battery will show good voltage but can't handle a load and will have similar problems.

@@james102377I found that out also and had to go to Walmart to get an extra start H6 for a $179 bucks fired right up with the new fuse plate and runs and shift’s better too these are very sophisticated vehicles and have multiple modules and a weak or regular battery just won’t do

[@user-tm6mk3xr9w]

Was ur battery light on ?

[@james102377]

No. Everything lit up like it was going to start then nothing when the start button was pushed. The starter itself was worn and sloppy on the gear and shaft so I'm assuming it has a jammed up start the drew too much and blew the fuse in the block which you can't replace without replacing the whole thing.

Fuse plate that sits on top of the battery change it got mine off eBay for $14 bucks free shipping local stealership wanted almost 6 times as much plus tax lol but hey mines fixed now because of this gentleman here 🤔⚠️💯

What if you’ve tried to jump it threw the starter relay freshly charged battery and new starter,can hear what sounds like the gear stopping when it touches the flywheel.
