Find the starter and follow the heavy gauge wire from the starter. It will go to the starter relay or battery. If it goes to the relay then follow the heavy wire from the relay which will go to the battery.
The fuse box under the hood. It is the #9 relay and when it starts to go bad there is a delay before engine cranks over.
Disconnect the wire at the starter and try the ignition. My guess is that the starter itself is the problem. If the fuse does not blow then it is the starter, if it does blow then go to the relay center in the engine compartment and check the starter relay. Work your way back to the ignition switch.
The Starter relay for Acclaims are located right on the starter, its what the wires that go to the starter hooks to.
Follow the Positive cable back til you find a relay the ground for that relay, which is the body of the car, your problem is most likely there if not, get a new starter the selonoid my be starting to go out on it.
Voltage surge? Bad relay? Bad switch? Bad ground?
Most likely a bad sensor/relay
Could be a bad fuse, a bad relay, short circuit caused by ground fault, and many more reasons.
On the battery side.
on the right of the fender under the hood there's a blue relay one relay but two plug's end together you would need to go to the dealer in get one or a salvage yard autopzone and o'reilly's don't Carrie it at all. the relay's are bad about going bad ...
Not much info to go on. Is the starter cranking the engine?
IF YOUR MODEL HAS AN INLINE STARTER RELAY (BIG BLUE IDENTIFIED IN ENGINE ROOM) IT MAY HAVE FAILED. IF NOT THEN CHK FOR POWER AT STARTER, IF IT HAS POWER THEN STARTER IS BAD.
