Asked by Kaysara Sep 11, 2013 at 03:04 AM about the 1997 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme 4 Dr SL Sedan

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I tried to start my car. When I turned the ignition key there the car did not start. There was no sound at all. The lights will go on, but the radio will not go on. The security light had been going on before when the car would start. My son replaced the starter and battery last summer. Please help! Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Start by checking battery connections and making sure you have a good ground. A bad ground can make a lot of weird things happen to a car.
