#915 of 944 Re: traction off / ABS lights are on [markanag] by kslrr Mar 30, 2009 (3:08 am)
Replying to: markanag (Sep 26, 2005 6:59 pm) Hello. New to the forum. I might have another reason for an indicated "sensor failure", especially if accompanied by noises from the front: Wheel bearing failure to point that the Center line of the wheel is no longer perpendicular to the Spindle, which would screw with the speed sensor gap. I will post what I find.   Fortunately for me, the bearings started to make the awful noise only 10 miles from home (Perris, CA) this morning just as I started my 245 mile trip to Las Vegas, where I work.

Replying to: ozzman38 (Jun 06, 2009 2:50 pm) Could be a blown head gasket caused problem.   But if the oil stick is all rusty when you pull it out, you'll need a new engine. Sounds like the vehicle is a good candidate for the crusher.   Run, don't walk. Replies to this message: ozzman38 (Jun 07, 2009 12:50 pm) kiawah (Jun 07, 2009 4:36 pm)

Replying to: ozzman38 (Jun 07, 2009 12:50 pm) If the engine has been sitting with water in the oil so that when you pull the dipstick it's rusty, then you could have rust on the main crank bearings, cylinder walls, etc.   R, DW

#923 of 944 electrical problem by ahightower Jun 22, 2009 (3:37 pm)
I have a 2005 Yukon XL. 6-CD unit, no NAV. Every now and then, maybe every 5th engine start, the clock will reset to 12:00 and it will cycle through the CD's, as if the battery had been dead and it was jump started. It doesn't forget the radio presets though, which confuses me. And I may be imaging this, but it seems to hesitate on start up, very briefly.   I'm thinking possibly bad battery connection? Do you suppose the NTB who sold me the battery just over a year ago would be able to check this (for free?)   Other ideas? Just the head unit, maybe? Alternator? I'm no electrician. So far it never fails to start, but resetting the clock is getting annoying, and my wife is getting a little nervous. Thanks for any ideas. Replies to this message: kiawah (Jun 22, 2009 4:10 pm)

Replying to: ahightower (Jun 22, 2009 3:37 pm) Most autoparts stores will do a free battery and alternator check, and look for a loose battery connection. Since NTB put the battery in, that's where I'd recommend you start.
