i have a 1990 cadi coupe deville . i recently replaced my - batt. cable cause it was badly corroded and now my car will not start and i have no interior lights,radio,power locks windows but my dash lights work. when i turn the key it cranks and cranks jus wont turn over. i checked all the fuses under the sterring column and none are blown. any ideas would be a great help!:banghead:

make sure the wire to the main fuse block in the back of the engine compartment is connected to the battery and to the fuse block all electrical connections need to be tight too if they are not this will cause electrical components to malfuction.

cadi509. Similar situation, but all my electric works. I have lights, radio, alarm, heat, etc. My car will continue to crank but never start. I have tried every few days to start it, fires for maybe 5 seconds, then stalls and never happens again until I try another few days later. Rumor says it's the electronic control module???

Welcome to AF. Do you have sufficient fuel pressure, strong spark, will it run spraying starting fluid into the intake, all basic diagnostics. BTW, in the future start a new thread this is 6 months old, thanks.

maxwedge-Sorry new to forum usage, sorry about the old thread. Not so sure about fuel pressure and spark anymore. Before it sat for a month, it would start with starter fluid but took lots of it to keep it going, still had to push it. New fuel pump, strainer, and lines in November. New batt in December. Getting trouble code F32 for bad wiring to ECM.
