1993 m6 bolt on car.252k miles

I'll keep it simple..

A few times in the past car would start then immediately shut off..usually second or 3rd attempt it would start..

Tonighat it did it again got to work and noticed amps were bouncing shut off and restarted several times and Still acted funny but never died..

Went inside and 30 minutes I received the start and immediately died symptom but now won't start.

No starter
No pump
No amp
No initial ses security light nothing dead Like no battery.

Checked all fuses replaced a few that looked questionable
Nothing

Jumped it
Bypassed fuel pump good
Starter got power

Everything checked out

Turn key nothing and tore car apart to check fuel pump relay clutch switch


All checks out..all I get is a tiny click. And can hear some engagement in engine bay fuse box..

Would this be my ignition switch?

Can't check for codes or anything.....I tried.

Grounds were all checked as well..

Thanks art

 

for a start, take the battery cables off and wire brush the heck outa the cable ends and battery terminals. while your at it take the wires lose from the power junction box (small red plastic box by the battery) and clean them as well.

 

It was in fact my ignition switch.Not that bad of a chore actually took about 1hr and a half or so..

I do agree the junction area corrodes a lot

Thanks for chiming in.

 

that was next on the list, i had to replace mine a couple years ago.
