- Replacing the positive battery cable on my 2007 Chevy Avalanche due to an intermittent no start, no crank problem. Should be the same procedure on most 2007-2013 GM full size trucks and SUVs such as Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, Avalanche, and Escalade.
08 silverado...this EXACT intermittent issue has been driving me insane for like 6 months now!! I have been cleaning all my grounds /adding grounds...replaced battery all kinds of things 😆 You the man!!🍻 thank you
Thank you. Replacing the positive cable due to looseness on battery. Got to looking and thought must have to go through wheel well then looked at YT.,and now I’m YT trained.
Thanks for the video, had the same problem in my 2007 Sierra. I was able to replace the cable with your help. I did find,however, that removing the wheel well shroud (or liner or whatever) made things go A LOT smoother, & wasn’t too difficult. Thanks again!
Yep same issue. Thanks general motors. Feel like it should be a recall for the amount of people having the same issues. I'm sure anyone who's watching this has also put a headlight bulb in these gems. Disassemble half the front clip for a bulb. Stupidity at its finest. Thank you for you time and video.
Thank you for taking the time to produce this video. I'm ordering my positive cable now. Having the same intermittent problem.
Thank you so much for posting this. I had the same issue with my 2007 Escalade, which is the same configuration. Unfortunately, I had to get the cable at full price, but was still worth it. The only problem that I had was that while attempting to put the nut back on the starter, I dropped it and it went into the auto repair blackhole, where all the dropped bolts and 10 mm sockets go, never to bee seen again. But, once I was done, all the issues went away. Again, you helped me out tremendously!
Tips:
Replace both the negative and the posative wire, the other will go bad soon. The replacemwnt ground also usually comes with the round voltage sensor on it, which is a $67 part alone, yet it cones with the negative cable for $60
I added heat shrink to all the ends, the old one was pretty pulled out so you want to prevent that from happening again.
Replace the ground strap over by the stearing fluid resivour. GM upgraded the ground strap from this tiny one to part# 20776808 its now extra beefy, removes the whine from the stereo too.
You dont need ti take the wheel off just go over it or turn the wheel to ine side.
If you run any additional wires in your engine bay run them iff the battery tow connections on the fuse box, they are already fused which is nice. I installed a small fused bus bar to the right connection on the stock 175 fuse, looks better than having wires all over the battery terminals.
thanks for the tips
Had the same problem and used this video to replace the part. Thanks for posting
I have a 2008 avalanche same problem thank you for doing this video. Don't know how long ago you did this but I'm happy to have found your video..... I'm headed to Amazon to purchase the positive cable....
My truck is doing this exact same thing! Thanks so much for this video!
Hi, just watched your video. Thanks so much. I need to replace my positive and negative cable on my 04 Escalade. Same setup, Vortec motor, 6.0 Debating on sending to a shop to do, until I found this. I think that between my son & I we can do it now!!
Thank you so much for posting this video. Our 2007 GMC Sierra has the same issue.
Just had this same problem with my truck. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the video, I just need to replace the 10mm nut and bolt on the positive cable, as it broke off when tightening up.
This must be a design flaw. I have the exact problem with my 2007 Chev. Silverado 1500. I get out, pop the hood, shake the positive cables at the battery and I'm good for another 15-20 starts. Thanks for the informative video. Should be a GM recall. (Fat Chance though) GM, Get (YO) Money for sure!!
Bro ur right gm should make this A recall like the stability control
I went ahead and took the wheel well cover out. Few extra minutes but nice to have out of the way. One issue I had was when I installed the new battery cable, the starter started spinning with no key in the ignition. I didn’t touch any ground and everything was hooked up correctly.
I took off the new connection on the starter and chopped off about half of the little bent piece of metal that points straight to the next terminal. It was touching the washer on the next terminal. I know my grounds are good so it had to be something with the new cable
Good job you saved almost $1100 bucks
Thanks for the demonstration 👍 I have a question and someone might've had the same issue, as I'm going thru some electrical issues .Has anyone on here ever have an issue w/ door lock actuators intermittently lo k/unlocking while driving. Looks like original +/-cabkes,so I'm changing those,but seems like it could be ignition switch too. The tumbler sticks and you've gotta wiggle it til it engages/turns.
Also wondering if anyone also changed the pos.cable that goes from the 175a fuseblock /fuse/along the pass /side of firewall over to the fuse relay box on driver side. I bought all the ,pos /neg. cables from Amazon. All GM parts, good quality.
the truck wouldnt turn on also. The speedometer would go crazy to. the windows and lights wouldnt work.
I had that problem had to keep jingling it come to find out it was grounding out on the chassis fix it where it never touch the chassis again and never had to jingle it ever again start up like a Charm music to my ears 🎶 😃
Been having a similar intermittent issue with my 08 Tahoe. Same engine setup. I replaced my ground cable and still same issue. So I'm guessing I need to change my positive cable. Also, i believe this issue has caused my reverse lights and radio to not work.
how did it turn out foo?
Did your issue work after replacing the positive Terminal? I have same issue but my positive Terminal gets extremely hot
Do you have a link or part number?
I have a 09 Tahoe and my positive Terminal get extremely hot 🔥.....and will not hold charge , have to jump my battery every time I get in it to start ...replaced alternator, negative battery cable I'm thinking it's this positive cable ... PLEASE HELP ! Anyone have this issue?
Great video. You should have glopped on some liquid electric tape on those bare spots near the crimp. Well I would have anyway. I'm doing both cables on my 2003 Chevy Crap vehicle.
damkayaker....well i be dammed! I invisioned what liquid tape does to cover exposed wire. Only thing is i never knew liquid tape existed. I'm sure glad i read your comment. Thanks for sharing👍
Dude........ THANK YOU!!!
Good video sir
If a fuse goes bad, surely you wouldn't have intermittent issues. Didnt think a fuse was something that could be intermittently bad. Fuse is either toast or it's not i would think
I have just a starter click. Replaced starter and new battery. still a heavy click at the starter. Cables next! Thank you
What's the part number for the new cable please?
I have a 09 chevy silverado and my positive battery cable is identical to yours .. i know you mentioned you got yours from amazon but i cant find it anywhere... Could you help me out? Thanks

You're so cute.. 😘😍☺
Lol@@aries6374
did the fix work ??
Yes it did. I haven't had any problems since changing the cable.
By any chance did you change you negative cable?
No I didn't change the negative because I traced my problem to the positive cable. That being said, there have been reports of problems with the negative cable. The problem is not necessarily with the cable itself but with the connection between the cable and terminal. I could wiggle the positive cable and the truck would start up just fine. I've heard it's the same problem with the negative cable.
Ive researched and read the negative cable cause a parasitic draw if I don't drive my truck a few days battery is total drained if I drive everyday no problem at all
@@ladub628 how did you know it was the positive cable?
@@robcarter8214 damn im having the same problem with my 2007 cadillac escalade esv if I don't drive my truck a few days battery is total drained if I drive everyday no problem at all
GOOD VIDEO THANKS
