first off dont even think of starting it till you put oil in it unless you want a blown motor secondly does it crank.

i thinking it has to do with the whole no oil in the engin and the check light on.. but thats a wild guess.

get it towed to a mechanic man.

I've seen this before on an escalade same year, if when you turn the car all the way to crank and you just hear a click... then the 12v wire from battery to starter is bad... replace that it will crank.. make sure it has oil in it though... oh yeah, and a drain PLUG... no drain plug = no oil...

are you ****ing kidding me? if it has no oil did it happen to LOCK THE **** UP. this is why stupid people shouldnt drive and that includes most women

it was the battery..called AAA to come start it up...drove it to pep boys for them to install optima yellow top...the battery that died was the gm factory battery...i think that iit was my subs amp that killed it partly...so i should be fine now
