Electrical problem
1995 Cadillac El Dorado V8 Front Wheel Drive 65000 miles
I have a new battery which is holding charge fine. Had a starter installed and when I went to pick up the car....it wouldn't start! Mechanic advised he didn't get the cable to starter tight. Ran great for a week and a half and then wouldn't start! Turn key....nothing - hours later started.....then wouldn't start......Service center put in another starter....I advised them that I thought possible the cable from battery to starter is bad.....did not replace it.....two weeks later - car won't start....hours later it starts. I am very scared as this is what it was doing before. I do not want to be somewhere and car won't start. Is it possible that the cable from battery to starter could be bad? What would cause this intermmitent starting problem?
