Thread: 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme SL - not done yet, but close

Last weekend I was on a small road trip and had some friends in the car,
computer was working, and I shut the car down like normal, went into a
store for about 20 min and came out, the car would not start, at first I
thought dead battery, but the gauges said it was fully charged, and I could
hear the relays clicking under the hood, but the starter would not engage

I tried a few more times but nothing, I popped open the hood, and I
decided to remove the fuse going to the computer and amp that's in my
trunk, and then tried to start the car, it worked perfect

Later on at home, I hooked up the fuse and the computer would not
come on, but the car did start, and my amp worked, no fuses were blown

I even tried the M4-ATX reset a few times, I then thought maybe my
motherboard was dead but I tried it in the house with a regular ATX
power supply and it works fine

So it looks like my M4-ATX has died

I am back to using an inverter

I see nothing burnt on the M4-ATX, and the fuse on it is still good

I am going to send it into mini-box to see if I can get it fixed

I was talking to my dad and he brought up that maybe the M4-ATX
somehow interfered with the VATS / PASSKey system and thats why
it would not start, years back I had disabled it by using a resistor.

If that's true, it would seam like a fuse would have blown or something,
but it did not.
