Do you remember what you did with the starter relay to make i star buddy? All mine will do is click when you push the button. It has a brand new starter alternator & battery but it just clicks
Sounds frustrating! If the starter, alternator, and battery are all new and it's just clicking, here are a few things you can try with the starter relay and surrounding systems: Check the Starter Relay: Sometimes, simply swapping the starter relay with another identical relay in the fuse box can help diagnose if the relay itself is faulty. Check your fuse box diagram to find a relay with the same specs and try switching them. Inspect the Connections: Make sure all connections to the starter and battery are clean, tight, and corrosion-free. Even slight corrosion or a loose terminal can prevent enough power from reaching the starter. Ground Connections: Verify that the ground connections are secure. A bad ground can cause the symptoms you're describing. Ensure the ground from the battery to the chassis and the engine ground straps are in good shape. Test the Starter Signal Wire: If you have a multimeter, test the starter signal wire while pressing the start button. If you don’t see voltage when you press the button, there may be an issue in the wiring or ignition system. Jump the Relay (Carefully): As a last-resort test, you can try jumping the starter relay with a wire to see if the starter engages directly. Be cautious with this method, as it can be dangerous if not done correctly. If the starter spins up when jumped, you know the issue is likely before the relay (e.g., a bad relay, ignition switch, or wiring problem). If it's still just clicking, it may be time to check for deeper issues, like the ignition switch, a faulty neutral safety switch, or even a parasitic drain somewhere in the system.
Can a used ecm be programmed? Because we were told that it was not possible on a 2010 Buick LaCrosse, which surprised us. We were told we had to buy it brand new.
You can buy refurbished ECMs on eBay. You can also order a service, we’re you ship your ecm to a shop and the shop will inspect and repair the original ECM. That service will take 3 to 5 weeks.
These modules are discontinued and you cannot buy them as new. Only refurbished or used. You can reprogram or in this case, we reprogram these modules.
@@trade1for2 My cousin ordered one that's already programmed online. I just wanted to know if it was possible to program a used ecm for this vehicle since we were told that it was not possible. Guess we're gonna find out when it gets here.

@@SP-vl1jhdid it work
@@ivesstreet4916 Yeah, it did work, but it said on the website that the key did not have to be re-programmed. In our case, the key had to be as well.
Can you test a used ecm ?
yes we can
Does the ecm needs to be programmed?
For 100% Proper programming, PCM on the Buicks must be programmed.
How can i get my 06 gs430 ECU..flashed
Hello, contact sales@ecuteam.com for more info.
Hello what was the issue with the starter relay, what did you fix? My 2013 LaCrosse Touring is doing the exact same thing. PLEASE HELP
