Have you tried it at different locations? In my case with an EX-car of ours, any time within ~5-6 miles of our near-by mall parking lot, our remote controller becomes useless until we are about 4-5 ft away from the car. We later found out the cause was a new radio towel with RF interference... FYI, the 2007 Yukon Remote Control Start Antenna and assembly is located at the Driver side rear D-piler near the tailgate behind the interior molding. You may want to check the connections there...

Keyless Entry has quit working..... by bigchuckwagon

The Keyless Entry feature on my 2007 Yukon XL has quit working correctly. I've changed to the spare keyfob and made sure that the DIC was programmed to original factory settings. Neither tactic helped.
The entrance door must be opened manually......but once inside, the keyfob will actuate the Keyless Entry system (it'll unlock or lock the doors). When I park the Yukon, the Keyfob will lock the doors as I leave......but will fail to unlock the doors if I'm gone for more than a minute or two. In other words, the system fails if I don't use the Keyfob for a minute or two. So long as I actuate the Keyfob every 15-seconds, it'll keep on working. Anybody got ideas?

2003 Yukon XL Plastic Covers Falling Off by rkg1

Anyone have problems with those plastic covers that are used to cover the bottom of the seat frames? Ours all seem to be coming off.
 
1)We have one that covers the floor frame of the seat on the center row (between the seat that folds down behind the passenger side) and the center seat. It kept coming loose and we took it out. Now my kids catch their feet on the exposed bolts.
 
2) There's a large plastic cover that was on the floor below the seat, (behind the driver) that my kids tripped over everytime they got in and out of the car. The cover looks like it was meant to cover the seat floor bolts. Anyway, now it's thrown in the back of the car with all the other plastic covers that are coming off.
 
3)I had one under my driver seat that came loose, and would get stuck whenever I moved the seat forward/reverse.. i finally took that out too.
 
Anyone else have this problem??

No reverse voice anymore and beeping by bubblebass

04 Yukon XL. Had the battery problem thing that was fixed a year ago. What a pain!
 
Anyway....the voice that comes on when you put it in reverse just stopped working one day. About once every 2 months it comes on now for no apparent reason.
 
Then last week, it beeps exactly 20 times when I first start it in the morning. Not the same as when the door is open, but a loud BEEP coming from around the cluster area. Does this every morning now. ??? Ideas?

GMT900 power outlet plastic covers breaking by brewboy

I have a 2007 Yukon Denali and both of the front dash power outlet (cig lighter) plastic covers broke off the first time I used them to put my cell-phone power cord in. The dealer wont fix under warranty and says its abuse! I see many others broken off on Tahoes, Yukons and Avalanches. Has anyone else had this problem? If so does anyone know of a TSB on them as they are a very poor design.

Not sure if the place below carries just that one small piece, you may have to call them to find out; otherwise, hove you checked with your local salvage yard? Good Luck!

2007 Yukon Battery and Electrical Problems by tampapi
Jun 19, 2008 (4:45 am)

I have a 2007 Yukon that I bought in March 2007. From the beginning, I have had dead battery problems and the dealer has been unable to fix the problem.
 
The problems I am having are:
 
1) The CD/Nav disk motor constantly runs. No matter how long the vehicle has been off, the disk motor can be heard running or reading the disk. Dealers says this is normal. But wouldn't that run the battery down?
 
2) I have a home office, so I do not drive the truck every day. It would not be out of ordinary to have the truck sit for two or three days without being driven. Now keep in mind that I unplug all cell phone chargers, radar detectors etc, so there is nothing drawing current except for the CD motor. After just one day, the battery will die.
 
3) The battery meter in the dash is all over the place. A correct reading should be just about 14. Mine will read down around 7, then jump up to 12, then back down to 3 or 4 and abck up to 14 or 15.
 
While the vehicle was in for normal maintance last year, they replaced the battery under a recall. I did not know this until yesterday when I dropped the truck off at the GMC dealer. The advisor told me that they already replaced the battery, so there shouldn't be any issues. After working on the truck all day, all they could do was replace the battery again. Guess what? Went out this morning, battery was nearly drained already. The CD motor is still running of course. There is no DVD/CD in, just the NAV disk.
 
Carl Black GMC in Sarasota has no idea what could be wrong. They have tested everything and get normal readings.
 
Anyone experiencing this problem and has anyone figured out why?
 
And I see someone posted about the cig plug covers. Yes, mine broke off the first week I had the truck. Never bothered to get new ones since I'm sure they will just break off too. Plus it's a lease, so if they want to replace them when I return the vehicle, fine.

It's broke. Make 'em fix it.
 
The engine-off electrical system is pathetic. I've had to jump my 2007 Yukon four times because of doors left open, radio played, ice chest pluged in - all for absurdly short lengths of time. I always check at the dealer's service department, and GM still has no remedy, though they're apparently beginning to notice the problem.
 
However - mine does not go dead just sitting (like 2 weeks at the airport). Yours is not right. I'm sure they'd like to fix it if you ask nicely (or threaten to terminate the lease.).
 
Good luck.

"The CD/Nav disk motor constantly runs" is not right. Mine shuts totally off as soon as I open my driver side door (with the ignition key already turned off of course). Perhaps ask your service department to double check the CD's wiring? I have an 07 Denali, I must say that I have been very lucky, it can sit in my garage for 3 weeks (the longest I have ever tried - due to an over sea business trip) and still starts just fine when I got back.
 
BTW, has your Yukon been through the recall service called "BCM Reprogramming for Battery Drain"? When I had mine done just more than a year ago, my service department also reprogrammed the the RCDLR and RKE Modules...
