Subject: Re: Pull Key, wait 10 Seconds............... by volzfan on 2010/5/9 3:49:51 Okay, an update. Today, with the help of Trae1976, I went in and found the two main "ground" connections (G201 and G202). They are located in the footwells, under the sill trim, near the front door jam. According to a post on the CF, by a former GM Tech, they had discovered the grounds to be an issue while they were performing the "recalls", and started doing this. I took both grounds loose, and used a dremel with a small sanding drum to remove the paint from around the hole where the screw goes. I also cleaned the connections with the dremel. We also ran a new, dedicated wire from the ground point G202 (passenger footwell) directly to the battery negative terminal, through an existing grommet in that same footwell, just above the fuse panel. Now, it's too early to tell if this has solved the problem..........but, we left here at approx 3:30 this afternoon, and drove at least a couple hundred miles, complete with stops to eat, to gas up, restrooms, etc., and not once(knock on wood) did I get the dreaded message. That is probably the most times I've stopped/started the car without the problem since it started happening. I'll keep posting updates as time goes on, but this may just be a step in the right direction. |
