Re: HELP! 97 Park Ave wont start!

Like Hotz28 said, check the terminals, battery voltage, and cables. And Wrightz28 check the fuses. I have a 95 PA, wouldn't start, got a jump from AAA, started, wouldn't start with buick to buick jump with skinny cables. New battery and cleaned the cable connectors and terminals, worked fine for a week or so. Quit when I stopped to get a wire wheel tool at the dealer. New post and fresh cleaning and started fine for a week or so. Alternator and battery tested fine at the dealer no start. Week or so later no start, towed by AAA to friendly mechanic, new starter (old was tired, old, original, not inclined to work everyday) and new positive cable because some, very little corrosion was evident. Month and a half now and no problem. Gauge on dash shows more volts? Over all starting is better and even shifts smoother.
