I have a recurring problem of all of my idiots lights come on and then when I next try to start my car I get nothing but clicks. One time I brought it in and they replaced the starter. Next time the alternator. I have an appointment for Monday as it has happened again. Any ideas out there of what the actual problem may be? I have had the vehicle in 5 times for the same problem.

Hey Varnold, I am sorry for the horrible advice you got for yor post. Please write back in if you are still having a problem with the Sable.

sounds like it could have been a voltage regulator or bad filtering caps on the coil(s) causing noise and screwing up the electronics. Definitely an electrical problem. maybe even a wire going to the starter with a crack in the insulation.
