2005 CTS "attempt" crank

10

Asked by Ro is Apr 27, 2020 at 10:56 PM about the 2005 Cadillac CTS 3.6L RWD

Question type: General

Just bought a 05 CTS, the owner says the fuel pump is bad, but it still runs
when the igniton is turned. Problem is whenever I go to start it, it tries to
crank then stops. I bridged the relay and it does the same thing. Then i tried
to jump the car and that same issue persist. Is my starter bad or am I facing
another issue?

Also, the trunk, passenger and diver reading lights, and radio do not turn on.

Obviously you should check the fuses. I wonder if the ignition switch is bad.

I bridged the ignition relay and it doesn't turn over, just jolts once and done. I need to check that, but im planning on getting the starter checked at autozone
