I have the same problem, it started when I was changing my battery and I drop the wrench which hit the battery terminal and a screw on the fuse box. All the fuses appear to be ok but there isn't any power to my AC, Window, Sunroof or door.
 
Would someone please point us in the right direction.
 
Thanks
Richard

Not Starting and Acting Weird by eblu

I got in my 2003 Envoy yesterday and it would not start. The panel went crazy and the CD changer started rotating. The seat adjusted when I put in the key, but it would not start. So, I called and since the service department was closed I spoke to a dealer who said it might think it is being tampered with and to wait 10 minutes. I'm thinking, I just put the key in and it thinks I'm tampering with it? Needless to say, he only frustrated me more. I got in my trusty Civic and went about my day. It's the weekend, so nothing I can do at this time. When I came home the radio was playing. I took the CDs out of the changer because they were really hot. Now when I put the key in there is a clicking noise. Of course all this is happening as it is about to be paid off and I have less than 28,000 miles on it. Thank God I kept my Civic. So, anyone have a clue as to what is going on?

Service Engine Soon Light by princess22

I have a 2005 GMC Envoy and have had it just over a year now. Can someone please help me understand why every time I get the oil changed, or have the truck serviced all together the "Service Engine Soon" light comes on shortly after and stays on. Sometimes it goes off and sometimes it stays on. Either way its driving me nuts!

Well, it was just the battery. Thank God. I just made the last payment, so I'm ready for it to start giving me problems. It has less than 30,000 miles on it, so maybe I have a while for anything major to happen.

2006 Envoy the light rear lift door works fine. But the two side light do not come on as light or as stop light. Even the tow light connection work ok. How do I go about checking the fuse or relay?

Theres a code you have to do Turn the ignition over without starting it, push the gas pedal down all of the way three times within 5 seconds, and the light should go off. Then start it to make sure. If this does not work, repeat procedure. This worked on my 2004 envoy, and is suppose to work on all year models. I swear its Gm trying to get you to take it to the dealer to have the oil changed instead of doing it your self which most people can do anyways ,Can you believe my local Gm dealer didnt even want to tell me the code lol he wanted me to bring it up there let them change the oil then THEY would reset it i laughed and CLICK! anyways that should work its really simple make sure to write it in your manual or somewhere for next time as well.

2006 Envoy fuel gauge by sjack

My girl friend has an 06 Envoy of course out of warranty, After refueling the fuel gauge will start to work and then go to empty. The owners manual addresses it and says to reseat the fuel cap and then after a few starts it should correct. OK Well once or twice yes it worked but now it seems to repeat the problem all the time. Any one ever heard of this?

I paid off my 2004 Envoy and not with some of the problems that you all have stated I am having similar problems ie..... my speedometer is not working and I am so afraid that it is a matter of time before something major goes wrong and I have to buy another car. Is there anyone else having these same thoughts?

I would be scared also as reading here shows it has the potential to be a expensive repair. I suggest you contact a reputable local repair garage and just ask if they are familiar with these issues and go from there. As you know the GM dealer will certainly charge to repair at a premium but usually you can expect it to be the right fix. No one has ever responded to mine so who knows. I am waiting on a maintenance manual so I can begin reading up on my issue. Good Luck

TOTALLY DIGUSTED WITH THE GMC ENVOY XL by brumpf

I have owned GM vehicles for over 30 years. I guess you would call me a loyal GM customer, However this GMC Envoy has ended 30 years of loyalty. I have a 2003 GMC Envoy XL and have never owned a car with as many recalls as they have had on the Envoy. The engineering flaws and just plain stupidity are too numerous to list here.
 
1. Fuel Leak due to rust (partially reimbursed by GM)
2. Trim falling off while driving (rear hatch upper trim; left mirror lower light and turn signal) Left Door Trim pulling away
3. Windshield Wipers and Sprayers turning on by themselves. $650.00 electrical repair.
4. Can't program remote mirrors to work properly.
5. GM dealer installed heated seats that lasted one season and the dealer went out of business.
 
This vehicle now has 38000 miles and I'm writing this to alert car buyers to think twice about purchasing this vehicle.
