I have AUTOMATIC 93 Trans Am with 23k on the odometor. The car sits in sotrage and is run oncve a month. It has been in this state for the last 8 years with no problem.........until today.


Key turns, dash lights up, fuel pump buzzes but engine will not even attempt to turn over.

I get no starter clicks or anything.

Battery tested at Advance Auto Parts this afternoon. Results: 12.6 volts with cca's at 617 on a 750 cc rating. They said that was OK.

Replaced the Auto/Nuetral safty switch.....still nothing.

The starter cannot even be accessed as far as I can tell. There's a big ole "Y" pipe in the way.

Can someone advise me and maybe tell me the path to go as far as any electrical testing. I've turned many wrenches in my time but electrical is not my forte....unless it's car audio of course.

I appreciate all your help no matter how little you think your input would be.

thanks.

 

Here are all the components to consider. If the security lamp is on, then you are dealing with a VATS issue.

 

Over the years things get corroded.I would have the battery cables replaced(or at least serviced,ie,cleaned at the starter.).Sounds like a nice car.Problably something simple.Keep us up to date please.My02.
