    Hi I've got a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GP 3.8 non turbo, I'm having problems with it starting.. I've got power to the fuse box but not to anything else.. When I turn the key, the radio and accessories come on but the car won't crank over due to no power to starter solenoid...

    Bad battery or loose/bad cables.

    Also, thread titles like this make almost not want to help. They just want attention quickly, coulda made it more about the issue instead.

    your testing the small wire on the starter with the key turned to crank? thats the only time the little wire has power, that wire is what tells the starter to work.

    I meant non supercharger guys, my bad! Battery is brand new. Yes I tested it while someone was trying to crank it, the starter is good cause I can use a jumper and it'll crank. My problem is that I don't have power to anything besides accessories when key is turned on.

    try swapping the starter relay if you have one listed.

    will it run when you jump the starter?
