FOLLOWING THE FIRST INCIDENT NOTED ABOVE, THERE WERE SEVERAL OTHER SUCH INCIDENTS, WHERE TURNING THE IGNITION SWITCH RESULTED IN NO STARTER ENGAGEMENT, DEAD BATTERY INDICATION.

THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN ABOUT 3 MILES TO AN AUTOMOTIVE PARTS STORE WHERE THE NEW BATTERY (ABOUT 1 MONTH OLD) WAS TESTED AND FOUND TO BE FULLY CHARGED AND IN GOOD CONDITION.

Gmc Canyon 2008 Reviews
My GMC K1500 sometimes starts running rough. It may correct it's self or may continue running rough untill you turn it off for a while then start it up again. Sometimes it may go a month with no problem then the problem may come right back. 1998 GMC Sierra 4x4. 118,000 miles but rebuilt engine installed at 78,000 miles. Drive carefully, slow take offs, 65 to 70 mph on road, but gas mileage is 10 to 11.5 mpg. Changed air filter but no better. Tire pressure is fine. Any suggestions for 2004 GMC Envoy~~~ I have no rt or lft brake lights.(only the bar brake light at the top of the hatch.) I was told that the right one wasn't working. When I went under the seat to check the fuse I noticed that it was the only fuse that was loose, j What can i do to repair the problem i have with my wipers being intermittend thank you. I have a 2007 Yukon Denali XL and my climate control + button for the heat on the drivers side peeled off. Anyone out there having the same issue? It looks like the passengers side is doing the same. Seat belt will not retract on 2004 GMC ENVOY XLT Seat belt will not retract on 2004 GMC ENVOY XLT It is stuck all pulled out and will not roll back up. rear end is splipping 2005 GMC W-5500 has low power starting at 40 mph or going up a hill? 2003 envoy sle 4wd - service 4wd light , parking brake , abs lights on plus hvac fan does not work BUT no codes on any .and also stalls out at idle . what the heck is going on. help! abs activation at low speeds on a 2002 yukon with a 5.3 L engine. The abs activates at 10 km/h. blower speed switch burns up as soon as you turn it on,wipers hang up and stay on when switch is turned off
IT is stuck all pulled out , and will not rolll back in .
any idea on how to fix this .
