Hello! There is a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) # 02-06-03-006B written that addresses this issue...Dated November, 2004...It concerns the way the battery cables are connected to the posts...Loose connections cause improper battery charging and intermittent starter cable continuity....The TSB mentions that the bolt that holds the cable connector in-place is either stripped or too long...The Bulletin also mentions the charging voltage...Running voltage must be greater than engine off voltage but less than 16 volts...A function of the Alternator...If the battery is leaking, the alternator is overcharging...Take the vehicle to an authorized GMC dealer and have the TSB installed if necessary...

You can check the battery cables (both - and +) for tight, clean connections...If you have a voltmeter, set it to read +12 volts...Measure battery voltage with engine off...Record reading...Start engine and measure again...Voltage must be 1.8 - 2.0 volts higher...In both measurements place the meter probes directly on the battery post and not on the connector...

Car will not shut off

It won't shut off because even with the switch in off position there's still power from the alternator going to your firing system because a wire has crossed, possibly from heat and melted together at the alternator, and is keeping power from the alternator feeding the wire going to the switch. Start the engine, unplug the alternator, then shut the switch off. You'll see what I mean when the engine dies because the alternator is unplugged and switch is turned off. No problem. Fix the wires.

Battery went dead in 2007 Chevy Silverado truck. Now, remote does not work. Replaced battery in remote and it still does not work.

Make sure you have one working ignition key and all remotes for the vehicle.

1) Close all vehicle doors.
2) Insert the key into the ignition.
3) Hold down the power UNLOCK button on the driver’s door panel-continue to hold down until instructed to release in step 9.
4) Perform steps 5 through 8 in fairly rapid succession.
5) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position (as far as you can go without starting the engine).
6) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
7) Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
8) Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position.
9) Release the power unlock button on the door panel. The vehicle will lock and unlock the doors automatically.
10) Hold down the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter simultaneously until the door locks and unlocks. This step may take up to 30 seconds.
11) Repeat step 10 NOW for each additional transmitter (including any existing transmitters).
12) Turn the ignition switch OFF then to the ON position in order to exit the transmitter programming mode.

After changing the starter and alternator and installed a new ignition switch my 1997 Nissan p/u started up fine. Drove it around town, stopped, turned off the engine and it started again right away. Drove...

Check and make sure you are getting power to the ignition switch and to the stator wire on the starter. Turn the key on and and measure the volts going to the starter on both wires. You should a atleast 12 volts going to the stator wire and to the main wire from the battery. If you are not getting power there it could be a fuseable link in the power wire from the ignition. I noticed that you replaced the ignition switch make sure the rod from the key switch has not come out of the switch.
