I have a starter interrupt system that is deactivated when I use the RIGHT turn signal. Today, the alarm (horn) still goes off and the car wont start even though I've got the right turn signal on like I always do.

It's a 97 Buick LeSabre and I don't know if it's a factory system. I doubt it.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

I just replaced the left rear turn signal bulb because it was not working. Then I tried to start the car and it started right up on the first try!

Problem solved! The car wouldn't start because a light bulb was out! Just like a crummy set of Christmas lights. Or so I thought. I drove the car to pick up dinner and then it wouldn't start again in the parking lot and I had to walk home.

It seems like an electrical short somewhere now because when I locked the door to leave, the warning noise came on as though I'd left the key in the ignition or the lights on, but I hadn't.

If someone here doesn't bail me out, I'm calling AAA and probably spending $$$.

Help!

OK now I went back and tried to start it again before calling AAA and it sputtered to a start while the horn went on and off. I was able to make it to the local garage without calling AAA.

If anyone has ideas that can save me from paying $$$ for this guy to go through my whole electrcial system, let me know.

BTW I checked and the chip is in my key and looks fine.

Good night and have fun. This looks like a great forum for all you people with a clue (unlike me).

thanks.

I am vaguely familar with that system only in that a guy came in here with one I had to by pass to start his car.. His system you had to use the door lock button and if you didnt press this button the horn honked everytime you tried to start the car. it sounds like a basic alarm system with a negative disarm and starter kill. Check your ignition wires under your dash and see if there is a black box mounted somewhere. If you find one take down the name and post it here mabe we can determine what type of system it is. and help you disable it
