Re: 1996 buick regal custom bad connection

I am confused here......new battery,replaced wires(which ones?), new starter.....won't start.....but it starts with a battery charger on it?

Were the battery cables and bolts free of corrosion when you installed new battery?

Take a test light......attach it across battery....light bright? Leaving one end attached to the neg terminal, attach test light to terminal of starter where the other end of the pos battery cable attaches.....is it still bright?

Turn key to crank position.....is it still bright and does it crank?

If bright, and it doesn't crank, attach test light to the "S" terminal of the starter solenoid(purple wire)......Turn key to crank....does the test light shine bright when the key is in the crank position?

If no, when key is turned to "on", look at SECURITY light....does it go out after 5 seconds?
