Hi,
I' ve owned a 1999 Monte for 2 years. The headlights, not just the DRL's stay on when ignition is on. Might not be part of the problem, I don't know. A year ago it would not start, no lights, no radio, no clicks, nothing. I turned the key on and off a couple of times and wiggled the shift lever and it started. Since than it has died a couple of times, but restarted right away, so I changed the plugs, wires, and added fuel injector cleaner. It's been fine till today. I was backing out of my driveway and it died. I tried like above to no avail. I checked the battery wires, they were tight and looked fine. I got back in the car tried like above again, same thing. I had the key in the on position than everything came on and I was able to start it, I shut it off and same thing happened. I tried like above and added flipping the light switch on and off again and it started. Tried spare key ( in case it was the anti-lock thing), it started both times. tried once with the primary key and it started. I don't want to keep driving it on faith, so I want to ask someone smarter than me. Any ideas?
Update: It has ran fine since 1-5-07. Today it woud not start the door dinger sounded low on juice, so I fiddled with the battery and it started. Coincedence maybe? Because I tried to start it again and nothing. I put a battery charger on it the door dinger sounds better, but it just clicks when I try to start it. When I release the key to the "on" position all the lights in the cabin flicker
Thanks, Vern
