I am reliably informed that the Alternator only puts out about 50% of the rated amps at idle. So all my plugged in kit is 86ing the batteries. This is progress, so when I figure out why I'm getting low rpms at idle (AIC sensor or vacuum leak) and get that fixed ... I can then get a High Output Alternator installed.

Replying to: steve515 (Mar 13, 2009 9:17 am) Sounds like a short. We had it happen on a 3 day old Caddy STS back in 99. The door locks kept locking/unlocking while the seat started moving forward. Luckly we were in a Mall parking lot at the time and was able to stop and turn off the car. Had it towed to dealer where he found a short in the main wire harness. Fixed it and never had the problem again in 4 yers of ownership. Also turned out to be the only problem we ever had with the car even though we were worried for a while having such a major problem on a brand new 3 day old car.

Replying to: steve515 (Mar 14, 2009 4:53 pm) Look back at message #154 from HopeGMC... He explains how to fix it yourself. It did work for me... For a little while, but then it crapped out again...FINALLY took it to dealer, and they said "bad window switch"... It WAS covered under my extended warranty, but they had to order the part.... Drove home from dealer and it didn't work, but when I got in it 3-4 hrs later, everything worked again... So they better still replace it, and I'll let everyone know if it stays working....

Replying to: steve515 (Mar 14, 2009 4:53 pm) The BCM is located in the passangers front kick panel. If there is now water damage noticed, I would still check the drivers window/door lock control panel. Mine was a 2004 model.

Replying to: steve515 (Mar 14, 2009 4:53 pm) I posted this same problem, last year. I also tried all the "tricks" mentioned in this forum, with no luck. Changed out the driver's door lock/window switch and that solved the problem. My truck was not under warranty, so it was expensive to buy, but easy to install. It's very obvious that GM had a major problem with this switch, but they will never admit it. Heck, they have enough other problems to worry about......lol Replies to this message: ECR223 (Mar 17, 2009 12:12 pm)

Replying to: woody106 (Oct 23, 2008 12:47 pm) My 08 did this as well...the body control module had to be reprogrammed. This is a known issue and there is a TSB in regards to this called Phanton Wiper issue

Replying to: flacondo (Mar 16, 2009 6:40 am) Yeah, they said my switch had a short, so that's why it worked intermittently. So hopefully the problem will now be over. I think the receipt said the switch was about $300 or so. Don't have it in front of me at the moment though, so don't quote me on that....
#200 of 248 04 colorado not starting by tbunch Mar 27, 2009 (2:49 pm)
hey everyone,   I recently found this site, i have a 2004 colorado, ext cab 2wd with 78,000 miles.., about 4months ago, i went to a friends house and the truck ran fine, when i started to leave it would just turn over and kinda shake a little bit i tried for 10 mins and nothing it would just spin over. Well the next day i went up with a mechanic and he told me to try it and wouldnt ya know it fired right up and ran fine. well i thought it was just a fluke because it ran great until yesterday it did the exact same thing again, i let it sit over nite and it started fine, i just dont want to get stuck somewhere and my dealer said they could only fix the problem if it was doing it when i brought it in, this is kinda stupid cause to bring it in i have to start the thing.. lol , any help would be appreciated.   TBunch Replies to this message: burnthecanyon (Mar 27, 2009 6:13 pm) tbunch (Mar 27, 2009 10:26 pm) robl6210 (Mar 28, 2009 8:38 am) hcoombs (Apr 10, 2009 4:42 pm) tbunch (Apr 10, 2009 9:38 pm) hcoombs (Apr 11, 2009 11:56 am) and 1 more...
