2003 Buick lesabre issues starting
I have a 2003 Buick lesabre custom and I’m having trouble with the car not wanting to crank or start. It is a very sporadic thing and doesn’t seem to have a pattern to it. When it does act up, I go to try and start the car and there’* nothing there. I don’t hear the starter clicking or any noise. The only thing that happens is the dash lights go out. I have replaced the battery and have tested the connections and have used the headlights test to make sure it isn’t the battery. I’m at a loss for what it could be. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Go through the grounds and clean them all.

I'd guess that one or both of the terminals have some corrosion inside or are not connected tightly.

Starter motor with a dead spot?
I'd try a new starter motor.

I'm concerned that the mechanic that did work on this didn't diagnose the issue . . . in favor of swapping parts. Perhaps I don't have the whole picture?
From your symptoms and diagnostic steps, I suspect the starter solenoid has gone bad. I'd replace the starter (with solenoid).

Agree. It would be best if this was diagnosed properly first. If that'* not available and you're willing to go by my guess from the other side of the Internet, I'd bet my nickel that replacing the starter would fix it.
