Got power Not start.

I'm working on my friends 2004 Grand Am. I have power to the dash like normal but when I turn the key.........nothing. I can jump the started and she turns over fine but wont start. Got fuel pressure. Any ideas???

you could have a bad ignition switch, assume you have checked fuses, the V6 has a starter relay

On my sons 2001 it was like the #1 big fuse in the engine compartment. It would turn over and not start. Wipers and turn signals wouldnt work either. Like I said it was a blown fuse 30 amp I think. Good luck it can be frustrating!

Checked everything, Could it be the ignition control module? If so can they be tested?

i thought you stated it doesnt turn over, that would not be an ignition control module, which engine?

3.4 v6. Is there a way to test the starter switch? went to the dealer and he mentioned a yellow wire but this one doesn't have a yellow wire. Power to the ignition switch but no power to the starter wire.

If I shut the car off and turn it on-jump the starter- it tries to start then just cranks over. Still wont turn over with key though. GRRRR!

have you determined if the coil packs are putting out a spark? have you done an actual fuel pressure test? have you tried starter fluid, if it starts for a few seconds you have a fuel issue. This link covers a no-start condition on that engine
