Chevy Lumina Electrical/Lights

g_money123

I have a 1995 Lumina sedan w/ 3.1 L V6 and had issues with the a/c. found the relay for compressor to be bad. ordered one installed it an upon starting heard a pop and awful clanking sound coming from compress or starter motor area... promptly removed relay(which was now blown) and car wont start. doesn't really wanna turn over but when it does(intermittently) horrifying clanking sound still emitted from same area.... had battery testd, starter and solenod tested and all proved good. also changed ground cable from battery. still wont start! any suggestions out there?

:confuse: I have a 97 Chevy Lumina that has been having intermittant problems starting. When you turn the key on the dash lights up but when you try to start, nothing. Won't turn over or anything. It may act up once and then be fine for the next 6-10 times, then it might act up 4 or 5 times in a row. The engine temp or outdoor temp doesn't seem to have any affect on this problem. The "Security" light on the dash has been coming on intermittantly also. It doesn't flash but might come on one day and stay on a few minutes or for the entire 45-min drive. Then I may not see it for days again. I took it to a local garage about a month ago and they thought the starter had a dead spot and replaced the starter ($300). It was okay for about 2 weeks and then starting acting up again. I called a dealer garage today and they say it sounds like the ignition switch ($375+). I think it may be the ignition module. Any ideas? If anyone else thinks it may be the ignition module do you know where it's located? :confuse:

I had same issue...its either the key or the ignition module..anti security..if key dont make good contact then car was disable the start...may need new keys or new ignition module...order online do it yourself..not to hard if ya youtube it...
