Thank you

Thanks to everyone in this community who chimed in. I finaaly figured it out. Appearantly it was a loose ground wire at the starter. It appeared tight but apparently not tight enough. Tightened it down and now the coolant buzzer never goes off and the car starts everytime.

Congratulations on solving the no-start problem! Thanks for following up.

If you'd like, use a dielectric grease on the terminals to ensure a strong electrical connection. This would also reduce water intrusion and/or prevent any other corrosive buildup. Alternatively, a battery terminal film (spray) achieves the same goal but make sure the connection is very clean. It would put a reddish layer of film over the exposed parts. Normally, this significantly reduces corrosive buildups on battery terminals, especially the Positive connector.

Again, congrats! Now it's time to address the constant coolant buzzer.

Happy Thanksgiving!
George

Good advice

Thanks Gen i am now enjoying my car again. I am taking your advice on the spray. Also the buzzer does no longer sound off since i fixed the ground. I am guessing it was also due to that bad ground. Brap on brothers and happy Thabksgiving
