#20 of 68 Re: 2007 GMC Yukon [rsht] by wbmcowan Jun 03, 2007 (7:27 am)
Replying to: rsht (Apr 20, 2007 8:10 am) I had the recall done on my 2007 yukon xl after it wouldn't start and the rear cargo door would not open. 3 weeks later it has done the same thing. Both times I have had it towed to a dealer. The first time it happened the vehicle had be shut off and locked for 30 minutes. The second time it was shut off for 4 minutes. Rear cargo door won't open and the vehicle will not start. I have a hard time believing the battery went dead in that period of time with no acc. on.

Replying to: wbmcowan (Jun 03, 2007 7:27 am) Oh wow! Sorry to hear that. I spoke with my dealership about your encounter of the situations after your recall repair... I was told that the re-programming of the modules may not have done correctly/properly (the mechanic needs to make sure that the re-programming was accepted and done successfully by the on-board modules, otherwise he/she needs to re-program the modules again...).
#23 of 68 DVD / wireless headphone problem by midas1 Sep 18, 2007 (7:25 pm)
We are the owners of a 2005 Yukon SLT. We absolutely love it. The DVD player works flawlessly but the wireless headphones don't. The video continues to play but the headphones quick working after ~5mins. I have replaced the batteries in the headphones and tried again. But Both sets of wireless headphones quite at exactly the same time...after a few minutes. I am suspecting it may be a problem with the infra red message being sent out from the DVD player. I am hoping someone else has figured out or at least encountered this problem before. Please send a response if you can shed some light on this problem. Thanks to all.

Replying to: pos07yukon (Jan 03, 2007 10:13 pm) Dustin, I had the same exact problem and took it to the dealer and got the same answers. I fixed the problem though. I replaced the stock battery with a DieHard SUV battery that has twice the amps as the stock battery. I have yet to have this problem arise again. Also if you really want to beef up you battery problem, the 2007 yukon is set up to carry 2 batteries, an addition area is the flat metal battery plate on the drivers side. You can purchse a cable kit which is around $50 which runs the batteries in paralles. This space was put her because gmc has plans to place a diesel engine which require more amps to start. I havn't put this on mine but my neighbor is a fire chief with the same vehicle and was outfitted with the second battery. He has been able to run the stereo and all of the emergency lights for over 4 hours with the engine off.   Hope this helps.   Steve Miller Replies to this message: agholden (Nov 09, 2007 3:37 pm) smiller65 (Nov 26, 2007 9:59 pm) agholden (Nov 26, 2007 10:26 pm)
#25 of 68 Security System Ignition Lock by jvcii Nov 03, 2007 (10:01 am)
My 2000 Yukon's ignition is locked and the security light is blinking. The steering wheel is locked and the key will not turn in the ignition. How do I get the security system to disengage so that I can turn the key in the ignition and start the car? This latest issue is the worst of a string of related problems.   The wireless opener failed a long time ago. Then, I could not open any car doors with the key - except the hatch. When I opened the hatch, the alarm would sound but I could start the car with the key and it would turn off. The mechanic fixed the car so that the driver's side door would open with the key but the alarm would sound. This wasn't so bad since I could start the car with the key and disengage the alarm. Over the last month the horn failed. Now I have this problem. A quick response would really help, since I don't want to pay to have the car towed. Thanks.
#26 of 68 Hello I bought a 2003 by jumms Nov 03, 2007 (9:13 pm)
Denali. It came with xm radio Navigation system, but the cd did not come with it. Is there a way for me to get the for cheaper than what I would have to pay from the dealership?   Thanks, Maurice Replies to this message: brewboy (Nov 04, 2007 8:48 pm)

Replying to: jumms (Nov 03, 2007 9:13 pm) Your best bet is on Ebay, I got mine for $90 after the dealership told me $600. Also you can check www.gmnavdisc.com or www.GMPartsDirect.com

Replying to: smiller65 (Oct 11, 2007 9:06 pm) Steve - What can you tell me about the cable kit to run the batteries in parallel ?              Where'd he find it? Homemade or pre-packaged? etc. Thanks.   I asked at the dealership's service department today about the problem - they agreed that battery use life is short, but the parts department said GM had no auxiliarly battery set-up or adaptor kit.   Arnie.

Replying to: agholden (Nov 09, 2007 3:37 pm) Arnie, Sorry to get back to you late on this one. The kits can be purchased online or can easily be fabbed up at most custom car shops. The kits online are usually sold for RV's since they pull a lot of amps. I looked online and had a hard time finding one. Here is how the wiring system went. A second battery is added on the right side where the flat plate is at. The bracket that holds down the stock battery can be made to fit here to hold a second battery which you can purchase the bracket at the dealer.(Even though a kit is not sold for the dual battery you can hold it down here) A red positive cable is run from the second batterys positive terminal to the primary battery (stock one) positive terminal. A black negetive cable is run from the secondary battery's negetive terminal to the primary battery's negetive terminal. The original primary negetive lead cable then is spliced and re-run to connect to the secondary batteries negetive terminal. This type of wiring system can be installed at some car audio stores because some stereos require a lot of power to run everything. Unless you are an electrician I would recommend taking it somewhere to make sure it is wired correctly.   Steve Replies to this message: agholden (Nov 26, 2007 10:26 pm)
