    Electrical Gremlin

    I agree, have experienced that in the past on other rigs. There is 0 indication of any type of corrosion on any of the connections inspected today. This was a California rig before coming up to Washington, there is no rust/corrosion that I can see. I going to look at the harnesses I can...

    Alternator going bad?

    Honestly at this point I wish it was an old school system with two speakers, a power wire, a ground.

    Alternator going bad?

    I have checked all the grounds I am aware of. If anyone has a diagram or list of them that would be great. Other than the radio/audio control stack, everything else appears to be working fine. I have let it idle for about 20 minutes with everything on and the volts have been between 13.5...

    Alternator going bad?

    Thanks for the tips. I put everything back together. With the blower motor at max, the rear climate controls on, headlights on, it’s putting out 13.6 on the gage. At idle it’s bouncing between 13.5 and 14.6v. I am not sure what’s up. All the gage electronics and gages are working, just...

    Alternator going bad?

    I don’t have long enough leads for that. When I pulled the alternator, I checked the battery and it was at 12.3v. Since this is the wife’s rig, and currently she is having to drive it 45 minutes to an hour away from home, I am hesitant to put this alternator back in it. Given the other...

    Alternator going bad?

    Ok, while out driving today, the voltage gage on the dash dropped to just above 9v a couple of times then went back to 14v. I pulled the alternator out and took it to AutoZone and it tested as good. I am wondering if there is an intermittent issue in the alternator, I have checked the...

    Electrical Gremlin

    Ok gang, the gremlin has returned. The battery is good as is the charging system. Does anyone have any ideas as to where to look? I can switch between Audio, Phone and Nav systems, but the knobs and buttons don’t respond correctly, the volume knob will increase and decrease the bar in...

    Alternator going bad?

    Well, left the charger on it until is showed green. Fired it up the with my multimeter hooked up, and it was at 14.3v. Turned on the blower and such, no drop. The drives are 45 to an hour each way. But the infotainment system was working fine after I did all this ( which is why I was...

    Alternator going bad?

    Ok, about 6 months ago, I replace the battery in my 2015 Yukon SLT. I changed it because I was having issues with the infotainment system, plus it was the original one. We have been having issues again, so I am looking at it today. I checked the battery voltage and it was 12.3v. So I hooked...

    2015 Yukon Denali replacement brake parts recommendations

    I am looking to replace my brakes this weekend, this thread has a lot of great information. I wanted to ask tho, I looked at Rock Auto, looked at the Raybestos front and rear kits. I then looked for them the same SKU’s on Amazon. The prices were comparable, so I am curious if anyone has used...

    Battery tender

    I need a recommendation for the best battery tender to install on my in-laws 2006 Tahoe. It is an LT model with a lot of electronics on it. There is a parasitic battery drain I I haven’t been able to isolate. We are on the third battery so far, as they don drive it much and they can’t...

    Electrical Gremlin

    Yes, mine has the the terminal strip on top of the battery. The terminals were clean, with out ant corrosion, I did make sure all the connections were tight while I was working on it. I was a bit surprised given that it is a 2015, but everything is clean and tight. I do wish it had the...
