2007 HHR Has no power, replaced shifter assembly, still no power.
Check all main power feeds to all fuse centers (boxes) ! Do you know what a electrical distribution diagram is ? How to use a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter to test electrical circuits ?
Has no power, replaced shifter assembly ???? No power where ??? And why would you replace shifter assembly ????
What happens when you turn the key to on ? not start ,just on ? Insturment cluster lights up ?
Is the battery good ? Connections an cables ? Your going to need to check power at the battery ,fuse boxes etc.... Confirm there is B+ voltage somewhere !
Your best bet , take it to a qualified repair shop . You have no idea of the complexity of this vehicle ! Everything is contolled by computer ! The ignition switch is a input to the BCM - body control module , by these inputs the BCM will control the vehicle .
The body control module (BCM) has a bussed electrical center integrated into the housing. Body control relays and fuses are installed directly on the BCM, which simplifies wiring and junction blocks on the vehicle. The body control system consists of the BCM and its associated controls. Battery positive voltage is provided to the BCM from IBCM BATT 1 fuse and the IBCM BATT 2 fuse in the underhood fuse block. The module grounds are wired to ground G201, G203 and G305. The BCM is wired to the GMLAN High speed serial data buss, and the GMLAN Low speed serial data buss, as well as discrete input and output terminals to control the functions of the vehicle's body .
Serial Data Gateway
The body control module (BCM) in this vehicle functions as a translator between the High and Low speed GMLAN busses. The 2 communication protocols use the BCM to translate communicated serial data messages between the control modules over the 2 serial data busses.
Power Mode Master
This vehicles body control module (BCM) functions as the power mode master (PMM). Refer to Power Mode Description and Operation for a complete description of power mode functions.
Power to many of this vehicle's circuits are controlled by the module that is designated the power mode master (PMM). This vehicle's PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM controls which power mode (Run, Accessory, Crank, Retained Accessory Power, or Off) is active.
Serial Data Power Mode Master
On vehicles that have several control modules connected by serial data circuits, one module is the power mode master (PMM). On this vehicle, the PMM is the body control module (BCM). The PMM receives 3 discrete ignition switch signals to differentiate which power mode will be sent over the Serial Data circuits. The 3-wire Ignition Switch table below illustrates the state of these inputs in correspondence to the ignition switch position:
Relay Controlled Power Mode
The body control module (BCM) uses the discrete ignition switch inputs Off/Run/Crank, Accessory, and ignition 1, to distinguish the correct power mode. The ignition 1 circuit is also routed to the Run/Crank relay for relay controlled power feeds during the appropriate power mode. The BCM, after determining the desired power mode, will activate the appropriate relays for that power mode.
Run/Crank Relay
The run/crank relay control circuit is connected to a constant ground and is switched by the ignition 1 circuit or the body control module (BCM). The BCM, will in lieu of the ignition switch position, activate the Run/Crank relay during a remote start event. The Run/Crank relay supplies a power signal to the following circuits, when the a Run or Crank power mode is selected:
• Automatic transmission shift indicator
• Automatic transmission (A/T)
• Switched power feeds to the BCM
• Electronic brake control module (EBCM)
• Electronic ignition module (spark control)
• Electronic power steering module (EPS)
• Fuel injectors
• Powertrain control module (PCM)
• Park neutral position (PNP) switch
