    Yeah...I sure hope none of those wires are still shorting out. They must have came loose or something somehow and were resting on the header. The o2 sensor connector was literally just mangled...lol... That thing has 4 wires on it too, so I cut off the burnt section, and crimped all those wires...

    So finally got an update on this thing...Found out today that, the 02 sensor connector and some wiring, along with another bunch of 4 wires itself wrapped in a little bundle through a bracket thing, were toast...Literally. They had melted themselves to a crisp against the exhaust somewhere near...

    Gotcha. How many miles do you think the average ignition switch would last? With the way the gas gauge acts would you suspect it has something to do with that more than anything else? For the longest time the gauge would always act sporadic and never really give a good reading. Now after I...

    Oh ok. But what exactly did you mean when you said "By the when this is all said and done with the battery will be no good anymore as it has been killed to a point that it will not fully recover." I'm confused with that one. ^^

    I meant to say the belt was squeaking since I assume the battery has been getting drained still somewhere, so upon startup the belt was squeaking but shortly after went away. Thing is the battery died a few a weeks ago after I had just cleaned the grounds yesterday in the taillight harness and...

    bummer. Well today I guess my parents tried going somewhere and couldn't. Apparently were out of gas and now it started back up with 2 gallons of gas. This was after I had cleaned the grounds out back, assuming one is a fuel pump ground like it is on my s10...same motor minus 2 cylinders so i...

    Actually now that I think about it, I know the passenger side sunvisor, the mirror thing is broken, so it's possible that thing is staying on. I'm tempted to just pull the fuse and say f it. lol

    Thank you! I will do just that and see what I come up with. Also will check the sun visors, lol. I wish it were that easy but shit, with our luck I just don't know. Thanks for the tip though, will definitely look into anything anyone has to say. :)

    Thanks, I thought it was. I mean I guess we can take the alternator off again and have it tested more extensively at the starter shop. My dad may not be as inclined to want me to take the starter off though as we've had issues with it before. It wasn't starting after we had replaced a flexplate...

    Sorry I was gone all day after posting. Thank you for your responses already. Sunlitcomet, we can give that a try after I get off work tomorrow. Uderro1, we do have a fairly new starter but that doesn't mean it's not defective or bad, we'll look into that some more also. Also, the voltage...

    new here, i searched for 10 minutes or so and read a few threads to diagnose my mom's 99 4wd yukon. The problem is a couple weeks ago, her battery she's had in in it for about a year and a half, died randomly. It was under warranty, so we had it exchanged 2 weeks and 2 days ago. lol...Well this...
