Battery is brand new and still checks out good. Alternator was good as of a week ago. Pulled the starter, it tested good. Now what?

When I turn the key, all I get is a simple click. No crank, nothing.

Is your "security" light flashing?

possibly VATS system or bad wiring

DWray

No security light. However, I'll go check my other key.

Check your relays, ignition and starter relays are located in the fuse box under the hood. See if the prongs look worn, if they are swap them with one of the fan relays and try starting it. I think they're $10 or so at Kragen. Hope that helps.

Checked my other key, no dice. Still no security light, but the SES light came on.

just behind the battery on the fender well there is a red cover where the battery cable goes through. i had mine get a little coroded around there on my old 93 firebird and it did the same thing. i pulled the cable off both ends and just put a bolt in it and it strarted and no problems after that. good luck

went into quick trip came out to start the car all lights came on but would not start, would not turn over. towed it to dealer wires in steering wheel going to ignition switch some were broke. they put in a new key switch fixed the wires $460.00 later works great.

DWray

Just did. No luck.

I don't think the LS1s have that. At least I didn't see what you meant.

reset your ecu...i have the same problem every now and then. turn key on, pull out pcm bat and pcm ign fuses, take key out,...5 min later, put fuses back in and crank 'er.

DWray

One of my fuse box covers is worn to where you can't read half of it. Anyone have a picture of them?

https://www.mygmlink.com/pdf/go2cont...1998camaro.pdf It's for a 98 but I think they're the same as the 99. Fuses section is 6-66 and 6-67

DWray

Alright, did it. Still nothing.

Thanks man, that'll come in handy alot as my manual is all torn and in random order.

Check all your wiring going to the starter if you didn't already and see if maybe something got burned or cut.

DWray

I push started it today and dropped it off at the shop. I'll update y'all.

(I still think it's the starter.)

you try cleaning the cable ends that go into your side post? ive had alot of problems with mine being corroded to the point were it will run accesories but wont start the car. all you get is a click. i usually just put dielectric grease on it and it cures it.
