Won't Start

[kxeroffrd915]

I have a 97 Olds Silhouette. It will take a jump to start. So I took the battery to have checked. They put load on the battery and battery checks out to be fine. Come home put the battery in and nothing!! No lights, no bells nothing..... Go out today and try to start the van, have dim lights but still nothing engine won't even crank starter won't click. Could this be a relay or switch going bad? Can't figure it out. The van will start with a jump though.

Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob...I once had the same problem with my 96 aurora, turns out that it was the alternator.

had the same problem and I put on new battery cables and it worked just fine.
