It would probably be cheaper to get a new one than to try and get yours fixed but talking to a repairman first would be your best option. Just don't try and do it yourself. Telivisions hold a charge even when unpluged and you could be electrocuted.

remove the panel under the steering column. look high on the clutch pedal, it will be on the back side of the pedal(firewall being on the front side of the pedal)

Check the power supply cable (the one with the 4 pins).  It sounds like it just isn't getting any power.  Even if there's something wrong with the jumper settings or the I/O interface, it should at least spin up.

You need to replace the speedometer cable.  Any auto dealer that sells GM vehicles will be able to get you one.

Get someone who does a little computer maintenance to check your fuse.  Should run you a couple of bucks and a smile.

Your question is another one of those "My car won't start, what's the problem?"\n\nHelp me to help you! What is your problem?\n\nWhat is your difficulty? What is your OS? What is your Machine? When did it go down? What is it doing (not doing)?\n\nI think you will get a solution almost immediately when you fully describe the problems!

i had the same problem with my 91 lumina with a 3.1 multiport, one of the cylinders wasnt firing properly, so at about 45 mph she would really start shakin so i just drove around with it in a lower gear. might wanna check plugs,wires, power pack, and air filter, maybe even spray out throttle body.. if u have a schrader valve check fuel pressure while at it. could be exhaust related too if the cat is clogged.  just some ideas

check your wheels,... are they properly aligned? Also go for computerised wheel balancing.\nAnd better be careful. Don't drive too fast till you get the prob rectified. If you brake suddenly then the car might skid or turn around.

fuel pumps do turn and turn on as they are powered by motors.\nIf it works when you apply raw power, then the problem is in the control circuit. It could be the ignition or somewhere else. You did check the fuses? there is often two fuseboxes and occasionally external fuse links. It could also be a bad relay.\n\nYou will need a wiring diagram. The law has recently changed so that you can purchase the actual factory diagram somewhere, poke around.\nhttp://ahdol.com/\n\nI have usually, as in more often than not, found Haynes and Chilton's manual wiring to be incomplete, or worse, misinformed

Try powering up without the battery fitted if that is possible.\nI had a similar problem with a Toshiba. The battery was so dead that it effected the power to the on switch.

You should remove the starter first.  Take it to The nearest Auto Parts store for a free test.  If you are familiar with auto parts, you can test it your self.  Get a pair of jumper cables and connect them to your battery.  Red to Positive post, Blk to Negative post.  Now connect the Blk end to the starter housing, Red to the largest positive terminal.  Hold the starter in place and bridge from the large positive terminal to the smaller one.  The starter will kick hard and spin.  Please be careful!  If you are not sure of this procedure then take to a parts store to be checked out.\n\nGood Luck

Take it down all the way.  Unplug everything.  Then remove the battery.   Then put everything back in and restart.  If it's still in the same place when you restart, make sure that it isn't running on some secondary battery.  With absolutely no power, it has to go down.

Is it your alternater or your battery? Before you go changing an alternator right away. Check everything out. Do a draw down test on the batt. Check to make sure all connections are tight and free of corrosion. Check to insure gauge is reading correctly.
