Cadillac neutral safety switch, shorted out my starter.
Hello, I have a 1993 deville, about a month ago the car would start intermittently and other times it would not. I took it to the Cadillac dealership, the parts mgr. told me those years the ignition switches always went bad so I paid them almost 300.00 to repair it, guess what it did not work. Now the car has been at the same dealership (diagnosis on them), they said it was the starter, I got one to put on the car and now have found out the neutral safety switch had melted and burned out the original starter, now they are telling me that one to three modules could be bad, that the neutral safety switch sent a surge of current through the car. One module can be the cars computer, another was the cars anti theft modules in the keys, they said the keys are not recognizing the new neutral safety switch, and another module that I can't remember, they told me it would take from 1000 to 3000 to repair.
Anyone have any suggestions that might help me?
I sure would appreciate some help very much.
Dave
