The car listed above is a C5. I replaced everything in the engine and replaced the starter 2 years ago and lately it's been acting up. Sometimes it hesitates to start and finally it will no longer start. I'm trying to figure out what to do. I just ordered a new starter and hope it will turn on. But if it doesn't turn on, can you please tell me where the relays are located? It's been sitting for over 4 months now because I've been busy working and now that I'm on vacation I would love to drive again.

Hello,

Can you tell me what the vehicle is currently doing?
Does it crank over and not start? or when you try to start it only make some clicking noise?

If it is cranking over but not starting, then it is not a starter issue. Likely due to not getting fuel or spark.

If you only get clicking noise, that could be the starter. As the noise is from the starter solenoid but it is not engaging the starter drive to turn the engine and start.

Here is a helpful guide on starter issues:

I have attached the starter replacement procedure below for your reference.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you.
