What are the reasons for the Buick GL8 key not responding?
1 Answers
This situation is generally caused by poor contact of the ignition switch starting contacts, poor contact of the plug under the ignition switch, blown fuse, damaged starting relay, damaged starter solenoid switch, loose wiring terminals of the starter solenoid switch, damaged starter motor, poor contact of the battery terminals, or insufficient battery charge. Here are the related explanations: 1. Check the starter relay and wiring: In such cases, it is mainly due to a fault in the starting circuit. The following components need to be inspected: the ignition switch, starting fuse, and relay. Additionally, check the starting wiring. If the car is an automatic transmission, also inspect the neutral start switch. 2. Check the electrical system fault: If it is not a battery issue, inspect the electrical system fault. The key is merely an unlocking and authentication tool, with its own battery, so it has little to do with insufficient charge. If the new battery still shows insufficient charge, there might be a continuous discharge from certain electrical devices—meaning the car should have powered off completely after shutting down, but it did not. Also, check if there are any high-power electrical devices connected to the cigarette lighter in the car.
