Question
I drove my 93 Cadillac deville earlier today and it was running a little rough. When I tried to start it again (about 5-6 hours later) it would not start. It "clicked", and the battery warning light and oil light came on. I just changed the oil about 4 mos ago (forgot to reset it-didn't know I was suppose to), but nothing now. Maybe the problem is the starter or alternator?

Answer
The problem is most likely the starter or the alternator of which you will need to have both tested. What you can do is charge up the battery and see if the engine starts, If it does, Then your problem is most likely the alternator which you can get tested for FREE by taking the vehicle to any AUTOZONE auto parts store and they will test it for you.
