2004 Cadillac srx won't start
Asked by Tburdick Mar 17, 2018 at 09:28 PM about the 2004 Cadillac SRX V6 RWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have a 2004 Cadillac srx. It will start in the
morning fine and run fine. If I shut it off it may
start and it may not. When it may not which is
getting alot more often, I have lights on dash
everything works. I wiggle keep key and nothing.
If I let it set for a few hrs or over night it will start
right up. Sometimes I can run it all day and fire
right back up. Some days I can drive it a block
shut it off and will not start. Could it be the key or
ignition and what can I do to fix it. Thank u for you
advise.

Sorry for replying without an answer. I have the same exact issue, please if you find out post the solution. If I find out I will also. Years ago I had a man override the starting issue but can't get in contact with him again. Thanks again
I know how to override it if your interested stevewhitt1962@gmail.com
Well i found the problem i think. The wires that goes underneath from the starter, the ground wire was loose. The bolt was falling out. I tightened it up and have had no problems since. Put in a cam sensor starter. And it was that all along u guess.

So Tburdick, what was it, the loose ground wire or the cam sensor starter???
Did you ever find out what what's wrong with your Cadillac I have the same thing happening to me
It was the starter. First the wire was shorting out on it. Did not have a very good connection. Before changing the starter i wiggled the wires to the starter and for a while it fixed it. But then out of the blue it started it again. The starter went out. I changed it and have not had that problem again. Its been 6 mo. So i would say to see if the starter is going out.
It was the starter. At first i wiggled the wires to the starter and it worked for a bit but doing the same thing again. So i changed the starter and have not had any trouble since. Its been about 6 mo.
