2004 Chevrolet Suburban - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
2004 Chevrolet Suburban. My battery gauge isn't working?
Why did you buy three batteries? You can charge up batteries with an $19 battery charger.
You have so many electrical issues, probably all caused by the dash cam or something damaged when the headliner was replaced. You need a good auto-electrician.
How do I remove the third row seat. lever wont budge
I just fixed my dad's 04 suburban with the back seat's #1 lever not budging. It's a surprisingly simple fix: take a 5 inch flat head screw driver and as you look into the slot where the #1 handle goes, you will see a wheel mechanism that it is connected too. to the left of that wheel, you will see a hammer mechanism with a cord attached to it. all you have to do is carefully push the lever with the screw driver while gently lifting up on the handle.
Hope this helps!
Front wheel bearing
Wheel bearing can be a big job without the correct tools. Better to pay a good mechanic.
Assuming your Burb is a 4X4, My first suggestion is get ALL of your wheels and tyres checked. Make sure they are inflated to the correct pressure, the tyres aren't damaged or badly worn and they are all balanced.
Next, jack up the car and REST IT ON AXLE STANDS. Your going to be shaking the car around!
DON'T JUST USE A JACK!!! It will fall off!
Once the wheels are off the ground, Spin the wheel by hand with a bit of force and listen to the wheel. A bad bearing will produce a 'gritty' sound. A brake disc noise will have more of a 'ring' to it.
Grab the wheel top and bottom, and push and pull in a rocking action. Do the same at the left and right positions. If you feel movement or here a 'clonk' noise get the whole suspension checked by a good mechanic. The above test shows if there's any play in the ball joints as well.
I would also suggest you get the drive shaft CV joints checked. Worn ones make noise when cornering.
Hard starting
Get the codes pulled. That will tell you what is wrong.

Check the grounding wires behind the front left tire. GM put the wiring directly behind the tire and there is a grounding bolt in the body. This usually gets corroded and nothing in the 4x4 system will work. Clean this up and apply some RTV Gasket sealer to help weather - proof it.
A/C for 2004 chevy suburban issue
Automatic climate control or manual ? blower motor control processor , probably . or the blower motor , or the HVAC control module etc.... All these are just guesses , without testing the electrical circuits . Did you check the BLOWER fuse 40amp located in the under hood fuse / relay box And the HVAC /ECAS fuse 10amp in the under hood fuse box ? Plus HVAC I fuse 10amp located in the I/P fuse box .
Climate control panel
These problems are usually caused by a faulty blend door actuator which controls the position of the air mixing door, and in vehicles with more than one air zone (passenger/driver, front/rear, etc.) there will be a door/actuator for each. These electric blend door actuators are self-calibrating - there is a feedback circuit (wiper type potentiometer) that tells your HVAC control the position of the door. It is not unusual for this potentiometer to wear causing loss of signal at various positions, which then will cause erratic movements of the door (if the circuit fails to open circuit or shorting, the door will default to fully open or closed - i.e. hot or cold air only).

Auxiliary Air Temperature Actuator
The auxiliary air temperature actuator is a 3-wire bi-directional electric motor. Ignition 3 voltage, ground and control circuits enable the actuator to operate. The control circuit uses a 0-12 volt linear-ramped signal to command the actuator movement. The 0 and 12-volt control values represent the opposite limits of the actuator range of motion. The values in between 0 and 12 volts correspond to the positions between the limits.
When the auxiliary HVAC control processor sets a commanded, or targeted, value, the control signal is set to a value between 0-12 volts. The actuator shaft rotates until the commanded position is reached. The module will maintain the control value until a new commanded value is needed.
