99 Cadillac deville northstar wont crank or start. Brand new battery- brand new starter brand new alternator brand new ignition relay brand new starter relay. I've changed everything that I can change. Why won't my car crank or start?

SOURCE: No crank, no start, new battery

I've ha the same problem on my 95 civic. Changed the starter, a relay, checked the ignition switch, distributor... and found it was a faulty ground from engine to engine compartment. To check this last solution, simply attach a wire big enough between the engine and chassis and turn the ignition key. If the car starts, you've found your problem!

Hope this can help.

your timming might be off.

well first off, check the glove box light blub, make sure it shuts off when you close the door, check it by pressing the switch with your finger to make sure it shuts off, also check under the hood for the light there if there is one, pull the bulb, and the same thing for any bulb in the trunk, then check again after a day to see if the battery dies, if it is dying while the vehicle is not running then it is the battery, if it is dying after it is running then it is the alt. you can check that also tho with a multimeter set to the DC volts setting, place the black end <the ground to any grounded area> and the red end <the hot lead to the back of the alt. > it should be reading higher then 12 volts, normally should be a higher reading then 12 volts... if you are getting a lower reading or just 12 volts then the alt. is bad and needs to be replaced...hope this helps you out...

Have you unhooked the battery since you put the freon in? If not, do it.

SOURCE: how to change starter

You have to remove the intake manifold as the starter is just underneath it.
Removing the starter itself is quite easy once you have the manifold off.

Unfortunately, removing the manifold is a right royal pain in the back side!!!.
I can list the removal procedure as per the factory workshop manual if you wish?.
The good news is that you do not need to work under the car,everything is done on top.
