#127 of 249 Re: Door Lock Problem... [slr777] by snaproll1 Nov 25, 2008 (4:10 pm)
Replying to: slr777 (Nov 25, 2008 3:13 pm) Well, I was all through this last summer. Check to see if the service bulletin has been done on your fuse block. Mine was burned, (05 Colorado). The dealer first thought it was the BCM, then they said a few hundred dollars later it was just the battery. I suspect because of some other electrical problems that the shorted fuse block took out the battery and BCM. I'd suggest changing the battery first before they try to sell you on a bad BCM. But first check the fuse block service bulletin.   I just got done with the head replacement. Two weeks. Luckily it was still covered under the 100K warrantee.

Replying to: snaproll1 (Nov 25, 2008 4:10 pm) The disconnect battery to try and reset was a no GO did not work on mine. I bought this truck used have to see about any service bulletins.   My battery checks out good I did wire in a amp but its straight forward I did not short anything out.   I think I read somewhere??? two fuses on power door locks??? they may have meant window and door locks?   Those two fuses are good and the other 3 windows work this is making me crazy.

Need replacement battery for 2007 chevy colorado LS 2wd 3.7L I am finding this to be much more difficult then past battery purchases. Interstate quoted 163. Sears said dealer only. Dealer 135. Does anyone know where I can get a battery good quality at a fair price. Replies to this message: mrwebman (Dec 01, 2008 11:10 am) slumpcone2001 (Dec 01, 2008 12:06 pm)

Replying to: slumpcone2001 (Dec 01, 2008 10:56 am) I got mine at the local advance auto store. They check your battery and install the new one for free. It was sort of expensive I thought but not as expensive as you got quoted. I paid $95 I think it was...   Cheers. Replies to this message: slumpcone2001 (Dec 01, 2008 12:06 pm)

Replying to: mrwebman (Dec 01, 2008 11:10 am) Murrays auto had one that way in that price range. I would rather step up and pay the addional cost. I see a lot of posts that say go with optima and some say that the platinum diehard is better. except sears sais they dont have one.   I work construction and my battery does take a beating. I hope that is why the factory one is dying after only 1.5 years.   thanks for the reply
#132 of 249 Drivers power window, door locks stopped working by cathypogo Dec 06, 2008 (6:37 am)
2004 Chevy Colorado.....problem. Truck always had fan switch problems. Dealer replaced once, and fan has never been totaly dependable since. This new problem all started this past November. As in "MANY" of the other messages, I have read, my driver power window and door locks stopped working. The truck sat in the driveway for a few days, and wasn't used. Got in to start it, the battery was totally dead. Boosted the truck, and that's when things stopped working. Tried" ALL" the same things, everyone else has tried, but nothing worked. Went to friendly mechanic, and he couldn't figure it out, either. Driving away from mechanic, everything starting working again. Decided to get new battery, this week. Changed battery, same symptoms all over again. Went to mechanic, nothing different. Still not working. Going to Chevy dealer garage, this week. But not if things start working again. Grrrrr.....

Okay, what kind of timing is this. My husband got determined to get it working properly, had it apart, did some testing, and says he just cleaned off the switches and now it is all working again. This is too bizarre a problem. But such a pain in the butt. Still going to dealer for emission, but will have a talk to them and see what they think.

Replying to: cathypogo (Dec 06, 2008 1:56 pm) I still have not got my truck in to get fixed. It has NOT ever started working again I admit I hoped it would. Working at least 5 weeks of 12 hour night shifts. I am not even thinking of getting my truck in until January.   I am very interested to know what you find out.

Replying to: cathypogo (Dec 06, 2008 6:37 am) I ALSO HAVE AN 04. HAD FAN PROBLEMS 3 TIMES 2 TIMES WAS RESISTOR AND ONE TIME GROUND. I SUGGEST YOU HAVE A GROUND PROBLEM WITH YOUR DOORS. THE GROUNDING SYSTEM GM USED IS POOR AT BEST. GET SOMEONE THAT HAS ALLDATA OR SOME OTHER TYPE AND FIND WHERE THE POWER EQUIPMENT IN THE DOORS GROUND. I SUSPECT IT A COMMON POINT. THAT WILL BE YOUR PROBLEM. THE GROUND FOR THE BLOWER AND SEVERAL OTHER DEVICES, INCLUDING THE PCM IS LOCATED BEHIND THE AIR FILTER BOX. I HAD TO REMOVE THE DIME STORE CONNECTOR AND HARD GROUND EVERYTHING TO THE FRAME. WE HAVE A VERY GOOD AUTO ELECTRICAL SHOP HERE AND THEY DID A LOT TO HELP ME FIND AND FIX SOME OF THE PROBLEMS. GM WAS NO HELP. THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX. NEWER TRUCKS STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS.' I HOPE THIS HAS HELPED

Replying to: flacondo (Oct 30, 2008 5:15 am) I had a ditto problem on my 2005 Canyon.To start with mr battery went dead on me one cold morning.After boosting the truck the power locks and the drivers side window stopped working.Luckily the power door lock switch was replaced under warranty.but I had to buy a new battery.So much for the extended warranty.It seems this is a reoccuring problem on the Canyons.
