Some Cadillac DTS owners report experiencing starting issues, often attributed to a dead battery, which can result in a clicking sound and a no-start condition. Additionally, some owners have reported problems with the starter, including hard starting, slow cranking, or clicking noises, indicating a potential fault. Concerns with the alternator have also been noted as a cause of starting difficulties. Furthermore, loose battery connections or poor ground connections can mimic symptoms of a dead battery, leading to confusion during diagnosis. Issues with the ignition system and the fuel system have also been identified as possible reasons for the Cadillac DTS failing to start. To effectively diagnose the no-start problem, it is advised that owners systematically rule out each of these potential causes to identify the exact issue and carry out necessary repairs.
