1995 Buick lesabre- no start

Important: The following is a text only archive!
For full features; Go to 1995 Buick lesabre- no start

Recently replaced the MAV sensor on my 1995 Buick Lesabre. After replaceing, the car would not start. I have power to radio, windows, lights etc, etc. However, I have no ignition and the starter will not turn over. Vehicle acts as if it's dead. Battery is fine, fuses check out fine and there are no loose connections. Any suggestions? Thanks posted by  grumpy48461

check the alternator posted by  bullrage2003

I doubt the alternator would have anything to do with it. Sounds to me more like a starter relay. When you turn the key to start, is there a click that would tell you the relay is closing? If not, have someone turn the key to start while you give the relay a few good raps with a hard object. If that solves the problem, it's time to replace the realy. posted by  dvdrose18

if its a starter issue, then there shouldnt be a problem with the lights/radio ect posted by  bullrage2003

now I'm realy confused, or is one of you speaking in code?
Also, the alternator would only have any effect if the car was running, but he can't get it to start, so if anything it is the battery, not the laternator, and he says the battery is good. Of course he may just think the battery is good, and should probably have it tested, or give it a boost to be sure, but usualy a dead battery has a unique sound. posted by  dvdrose18
