I have a 2008 Yukon XL Denali. Occasionally, after we start the car and drive a very short distance, the car refuses to start after that. Why does this happen and how do you fix it?

The battery is good and brand new. If you open the hood and touch the red batter terminal with your hand, you can then restart the car. Once you do, the theft deterrent system lock indicator flashes on the dashboard indicator panels. At this point, there is no sound. No blinker sound, no nav sound, no radio. After you drive it to your next destination, shut it off, and start it again the next time, everything is fine. What's the deal with the theft deterrent system?

SOURCE: location of fuse box/panel for 2004 yukon denali xl

There are 2 fuse panels in the Denali.
One is a panel on the drivers side, its on the dash but facing the door.

The ohter is under the dash and above the pedals, this one is much tougher to access.

Your Owner's Manual should tell you where the fuses are that you need to access.

SOURCE: 02 yukon denali xl wont start

Did you try to replace the starter cable? is the Truck turning over or just clicking.? If it's turning over and not starting. Best guess would be one of two things. Knock sensors Located under intake manifold. they get wet and deteriorate or the fuel pump. I've replaced all three on mine. 233k still running strong...

SOURCE: 2006 GMC Yukon Denali XL Rear Hatch & Glass locks not working

Could be the latch mechanism for the door is sticking. You could try using some white grease on the latch and the contact where the latch hooks to. You can purchase the grease from most auto parts stores. You will not need to use alot. Just apply a small amount to the mechanisim and then work it in using the manual handle. Then open and close the door several times to feel the "action". Then apply a little more and repeat. This should loosen the latch and get it working again. Also make sure that none of the tension springs have come loose on the latch. And check the seal around the door and make sure it is not pinched and has a proper fit.

Speedo accuracy on a 2008 Yukon XL Denali

There is no natural margin for error, either it functions properly or it doesn't. The easiest way to be sure is to elevate the vehicle or atleast the drive wheels/tires make sure the vehicle is properly supported put it in drive set the cruise at 60 mph watch the odometer for 2 or 3 minutes and you should register 1 mile per minute if it is in fact functioning properly. Hope this helps

2008 Yukon Denali XL battery draw

The easiest way to find the draw is to take a volt/ohm meter and remove the positive lead and connect the meter in series using the amp meter selection. By series, I mean hook the black meter lead to the battery, and the red meter lead to the battery cable.
Check your amp draw. (make sure you remove the bulb for your under hood light and everything off and closed. It should be milliamps.
If you have a more than several milli amps, start disconnecting fuses on at a time and put them back until you find the circuit that is drawing down the battery. Once you find the circuit, then it gets down to finding out whats shorted or bad in that circuit.
Good luck
