I bet Its your Auto Leveling system. After 10 years mine would randomly run all night even on a level surface. Its a light humming sounds when on. I went to get in my car two days after battery died and heard it running by chance. Just pulled the fuse it still drives Level :) Fuse is under back seat marked under cover.

I have a 1998 supercharged Buick Riviera. It won't start. It's sounds like it's about to start and then it's like the spark shuts off. There are no trouble codes or warning lights. There is gas in the tank. I was told that it might have something to do with the factory alarm. Does anyone have any ideas? 2 Answers
