Problem overview

Some Saturn Aura owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues even after replacing the battery, cables, and ECM, with the lights and dash powering on but no clicking sound. Common factors contributing to this problem include an insufficiently charged battery, which can prevent the vehicle from starting despite having a new battery. Additionally, if the alternator is not adequately charging the battery, it may lead to starting difficulties. Owners have also noted that corroded or improperly connected battery cables can hinder the starting process. Troubleshooting steps, such as checking the voltage at the starter solenoid and ensuring clean, tight connections, are essential for diagnosing these starting problems. If the battery is confirmed to be strong and fully charged, it is recommended to inspect all wiring connections for corrosion to avoid power interruptions. If the issue continues, seeking professional assistance from a mechanic or automotive technician may be necessary for effective diagnosis and resolution.
