    Thank you! I occasionally have to put the car in Accessory Mode to unlock the transmision shifter. Regardless, it’s always good to keep connections clean and snugly reassembled.

    Use a plumbers copper fitting brush instead of the sandpaper on the socket, it will clean easier

    Once you clean it up and put it back together - seal it with a sealant or epoxy. We did that on all the exposed grounds for airline aircraft during overhaul and they never corroded again. OR at least coat with dielectric grease.

    on a sidenote ... the + terminal of the battery is closer to the fender or closer to the engine? The car in the vid has the -ve terminal close to the engine block... but have seen other vids where the +ve terminal is closer to the engine... which is the factory correct way?

    Service charging system light is on, replaced alternator because my battery would drain while driving and overnight, when disconnecting battery while car is running car wouldnt stay on until i replaced alternator,
    Only two problems i have atm,

      It never hurts to clean the grounds as it is easy.
      The Throttle Actuator Control (TAC) / throttle body type trouble codes, may be caused by a loose wiring crimp at the throttle body connector, or a broken throttle body circuit.

    I have a c6 that’s having issues. Shut off at a red light. No lights or any electrical was working at all when it died. Popped hood found ground terminal on the battery broken off. Replaced terminal now car has some power locks and unlocks, has radio. When I goto start it, starter sometimes has burning smell even after replacing starter same issue. 1/100 times it try’s to turn over very slowly. Does this sound like ground?

    Awesome video! I'd add that it's a good idea to roll both windows completely UP before disconnecting the battery cables. This will save guys from having to index them.

    • @brettls2
      @brettls2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I don't know why people say this, indexing them is probably one of the easiest things in the world, it's as easy as rolling the windows up and down, it takes a matter of seconds. Y'all need to stop scaring people, these cars have enough wiring Gremlins but indexing the windows is not one of them.
