Just Dead...AGAIN

[NJ Denali]

A couple of weeks ago my Denali wouldn't turn over. No reason, she had a fully charged battery that was good under a load. That was when I tore my calf muscle trying to push it out of the drive way. The dealer said they couldn't find the problem, although they saw it wouldn't turn over when they took it off of the truck. After working on other things, it suddenly would start again and they said to just chalk it up to the fact that there was something loose. I said no, and asked them to keep looking. An hour later they called back sayingthere was a loose terminal...

And tonight; once again, it's just dead.

WTF have I gotten myselfin to with this truck?

Lemon law this thing, asap. Sounds like you've had the same problem over, and over, and over again.

It depends on the laws in your state.

Turns out it was a starter. Or at least that's what they threw at it this time.

Good luck, I am working with my dealer on a similar issue (2008 Yukon Denali). They have been great in trying to find it, but I know how tough it can be to find thses things that come and go.


Mine will be fine for months and then out of no where the retained power is gone and HVAC and radio reset when you turn the vehicle off. The once that symptom occurs, it will go completely dead than then back to life with no warning. They have had it twice for 2 week at a time.

Yesterday, the radio would off and on as I was driving anf the stability light came on like it lost and then regained power. Heading back into the dealer on Thursday for round three.

2007 Denali dead battery issue

Has anyone found a fix for this, we've had ours towed to the dealer several times with no fix. "Must have left a light on" is their best answer. Happened again last night and now only one speaker works on the factory Nav/Radio. The turn signal works but doesnt make a noise. No "beeps" when you touch the buttons on the radio.

Any suggestions? All I did was jump it off to get it started.

Thanks,

I had the same problem. It was the starter.

Dead Again

Any suggestion for the radio issue though? Checked fuses, disconnected the batter for 5 min and reconnected. Still only one speaker working (Bose) and no beeps from the radio, back up sensor or clicks from turn indicator.

Thanks for any help you guys can give,

Mark
