intermittent starter problem on buick

Check all your grounds.............bad connection will act that way........had a Chevy that did same thing, was dirty ground...........worth a shot.......

Many people are able to follow the hot +12volt lead from place to place and see if it is good. The problem is that many cannot follow a ground to see if it is good. They think: "How can you measure Zero volts?"

Continuity is the key.

Any good multimeter can do the job.

Simple ground check is Continuity test.

Had a full electrical dx from the dealer, didn't find anything, however he did suggest new battery cables, since it mainly does it when it's cold. Even though the cables look good, he said corrosion can seep down inside the casing and cause problems. He also said that it was likely *not the ignition switch or tumbler, which is good because those are sort of expensive.

I asked them about the security key issue, and they said it was fine, but I'll keep that in mind for future ref, thanks. The odd thing is that the ignition switch that goes inside the column is about 60$ and 60$ to install, but the tumbler/key assembly is only 30$, but is about 160$ to install. I'm hoping its just the battery cables.

I've seen this advice before, but where exactly do you splice in a resistor, and what size? Thanks,........
