Just a quickie though it was running fine, wife was driving it all day she came home parked it, went to leave about an hour or so later and nothing.
I knew the battery as on it's last leg, died on us a few times as of recent, original AC Delco, I took it out, went to Autozone had it tested, BAD. I bought a new battery thinking, YES, that is the problem, simple enough. Nope, put the new battery in and still, NOTHING.
I should also mention that I do have a pretty bad power steering leak at the moment and it got fluid all over quite a bit of the underneath of the hood, so maybe something got fluid on it that shouldn't have ? well nothing should have the PS fluid on it but you get where I am going with it.

I pulled the codes, off the top of my head I got U1000 from all over the place but I believe that is due to the fact the door panel is off at the moment to fix the window regulator. Then I got both crankshaft sensor codes I believe. I will post the exact ones as soon as I go back to the office.
When I turn the key all the lights, locks, windows etc. work fine with the new battery in place. I hear a noise under the hood an faint sound of a whining almost for a few seconds, other than that I get nothing.
Luckily my friend is a mechanic and owns a shop so ..... I had it towed there today. I didn't really know what to do, it is my only car so I don't have time to just let it sit and trouble shoot, wish I did.
When she is fixed and returns home I will be sure to tell what the problem was.
Also forgot to mention when I first bought the car I brought it home the very next day it would not start. I took it to the dealership they said that the break peadal switches were bad. and there was a remote starter removed and that some wiring was not correct. They replaced those and fixed said iring issues the car ran fine. Those switches also caused a false TCC code I believe they said it was ?
Anyway this is where I am at now, I will definitely keep everyone that is interested posted.
Thanks

Well it turned out to be the starter.
So I am getting her back tomorrow with the starter replaced and the power steering leak fixed (pressure hose).
Before I mention what I am paying for these services any opinions on what the cost should be ? round about ?
I know it will be differn't per state but just a rough estimate would be cool.

depends on labor cost... if a buddy is doing it for free, aftermarket, aprox $120.00 for starter, and for pressure hose aftermarket $ $60.00. pressure hose from gm ?????....i think $160.00
how'd you make out??

Yeah the power steering is the pressure hose. Fixing this right now too.

2000 Cadi DTS, wont start
I think that my starter has gone bad. The car was running fine and then one morning it just wouldn't start, not even turning over. Just a clicking sound. I noticed a week ago it started to hesitate a couple of times when i went to start it but then it was fine. I also have a slow power steering leak but Im not sure how that ties in.
How do you change the starter?
