My '04 Cadillac SRX died and won't start now. What can cause this? Has 78,000 mi
What is your question?
I had gone to pick my grandson up from school and the car was running without problems but when I went to back out of the parking area the car died and wouldnt start again. Turning the key nothing happened, no sound as if the battery was completely dead. Jumper cables didnt work and charging the battery failed but the lights, radio, etc.. came on. The key turned causes a sound as if the battery just doesnt have enough power to start the engine. This is the only time I had any problems with this car. I only use premium gas and I change oil every 3,000 - 5,000 miles with Mobile 1 motor oil. I have taken great care of the car. It has the Northstar V8 in it. Thank you for any info you might be able to guve me!
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 2004 Cadillac SRX. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
First, check battery and alternator. May need replaced. Next, need to check for power to the starting motor and operation of the starting motor if power is present. Be sure all battery connections are clean of oxidation and no fraying of cables. Respond after these items have been inspected
