I recently tried to start my SLT and thought the battery was dead. Lights, radio ect all work fine however the clock on the radio always goes back to 12:00. Car will strat now "most of the time". There is a clicking noise so it might be altenator or starter not sure. When I remove the key it will continue to make a clicking/grinding noise then turn off.
It sounds like you need a regulator for your alternater it is reversing polarity there for draining your battery and reseting the clock. it is located on the back of your alternator.hope this could help.

My car has been having th engine light come on and it seems that our local gmc dealer cannot figure out what it is. Well a year later here i am and they finally figured out it was a starter after having my car die completley. but other than that i absolutley love my envoy, a classy car thats hot
I have a 2002 GMC Envoy, something is draining the battery, the shop has installed a new alternator, new battery and the battery still drains in 24-48 hours. The shop has pulled all fuses and see the drain but can figure out where the drian is coming from, any suggestions?
u may have a damaged starter drive and damaged flywheel gear teeth, pull the starter and check the drive gear for wear, while it is out check the flywheel for damaged teeth.
