slowroll, yes, i've heard the cable has been a issue with this vehicle too. the one that runs from the hood fuse box to solenoid/starter....... hopin thats it, though its never the less $$ part. i'll probably need the starter.......tx slo

ok, found starter is most likely the problem.... poss cables. vinny won't know till he is into it, and wants it when it wont start........ my question: should i one up on the starter, (if there is such a thing) or go with the starter from a Cadillac dealer? I am planning to keep the sts, so its just a thought.
dealer quote $184. seems fair to me....... you?
thanks to all
rickyd
