#343 of 364 battery problem with 01atzek by doroti Oct 18, 2009 (7:22 pm)
l tried to start my 2001 pontiac aztek this afternoon, but found that the lights were out and the key was stuck in the ignition, l got a friend to boost the battery and it started right away but hear a hissing noise coming from the engine area probably the alternator, and it gets louder when l press on gas. l got home , and tried to take out the key again and everything was dead again. the battery is less than a year old, l replaced old one because l thot it will save me future headache since l bought the car from the previous owner in Decemeber 08. l have aslo had the BCM replaced that same month also when the key will not not turn but the lights were working. Can somebody please tell me what the real problem is? and is advisable to drive the vehicle to my mechanic which take about 40 minutes drive after another jumpstart tomorrow morning? l just had the spark plugs and wire replaced also. l remember plugging my hand vacumm cleaner to the cigarette lighter in the vechicle to clean the interior yesterday and didnot drive the vehicle afterwards until today. l had the same problem last week when l forgot to turn off my radio button before exiting the vehicle and had to get a boost also. a colleague at work tightened the ground terminal on the battery and l thot that the whole problem was over until today.. l would really appreciate if anybody knows the real answer to my problem and what will be the cost estimate to have it fix? Thanks alot Replies to this message: ray80 (Oct 19, 2009 5:26 am)

Have anyone replaced their batteries from Walmart?   Was it a good experience?

Replying to: amy72855 (Oct 18, 2009 7:29 pm) Amy, If you have someone that can help you try grabbing the the bundle of wires under seat (could be drivers or front passenger seat) near connection while vehicle is running and wiggle them a bit while someone watchs the light, if it goes out you have found the problem. It will likely have to go to dealer anyway but it may pimpoint where trouble is.

Replying to: doroti (Oct 18, 2009 7:22 pm) Assuming the battery really is still good the most common things would be bad cable connection (either positive or ground) or problem with charging system (alternater may have seen better days).
#348 of 364 bcm by jettinagain1 Oct 19, 2009 (6:53 am)
i like so many others am having problems with dico lights, stalls, and have indeed replaced the altinator and the battery. i am now going to replace the bcm. i feel like this is a good gamble, and certainly cannot hurt. where in this world can i find one? everytime i google brightauto.com. (as i have seen here) i get something from china. no where can i ask about this part or even order it. i have been without my car for a week and it is driving me crazy. i need bcm ac delco part number 15235418.

Replying to: ray80 (Oct 19, 2009 7:44 am) Thanks,the best place i found the BCM at is amazon.com. good luck to all us dedicated tekies. it is a real shame that we are more dedicated to this vehicle than the makers of the vehicle are.no excuse for all these problems!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Replying to: jettinagain1 (Oct 19, 2009 6:53 am) See message no. 331. you can order BCM from AC Direct for $175.00. I haven't had time to get it installed yet but hope to do that soon. My problem is minor compared to some of the things I see on here so I'll let everyone know how it went as soon as I get it done.
