You did everything except what you’re supoosed to do to actually fix this. Im speaking from experience, just trust me. I chased this issue for over 12 months. You do NOT simply tighten the two screws to the fuse box. You absolutely have to add two washers to them. What’s happening is those screws are engineered wrong and they are too long. Cut a washer in half, slip it under each screw and you will never have this problem ever again. My car is 12 months clean from this issue, and it was happening every single time we left. I live in a shitty town with shitty roads and every bump we’d hit would throw our car into “traction control off, stabilitrak off, reduced engine power” and it hasn’t happened one time and all i did was add the washers.
Thanks for the input . That might work for some issues and is worth a shot. From a professional electricians perspective, adding washers certainly would not resolve a plethora of potential issues that could occur within the massive amount of connections inside the fuse box. Replacing the box worked for me.
@@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh Well, all the issues we’re discussing would be resolved. All the issues are on the same circuits on the fuse box. So tightening the screws with washers secures them so the pins are always connected. A new fuse box oem is what $400? A cut washer is like 50 cents.
I changed the fuse house as you explain here and when I tried to turn it on I couldn’t I already tried to charge it and nothing works it doesn’t turn on anything not even a liz do you know what I could have done wrong?
Have you replaced the fuse box under the dash on the passenger side? This may be why you are doing the same job 4 years later. just a thought, either way thank you for the video. This was very helpful
I have a 2011 I had the fuse box replaced last September this year the car isn’t running when I tighten the screw at the top of the fuse box it never tightens it just spins what should I do?.
Please add that always make sure your AC is COMPLETELY OFF whenever you disconnect the battery. It can really mess up the actuators and you end up with hot on one side and cold blowing on the other. It's an expensive fix, and easy to avoid if you can.
Yes, I have a problem 2 I have a Chevy Traverse 2010. You know, make a noise inside the engine and I have a couple light on. I don't know what it is. I tried to fix it. I tried to turn it off. It's not going off. Do you have any solution? For my car, my brother or my sister sorry.
Appreciate the video. I have ths issue and just spent quite a bit having a CAT bank 2 replaced, afrer the dealer assured me that this was causing the issue associates with the reduced power message. Are those screws supposed to bottom out hand tight? Because, I tried to tighten mine, but they continue to spin with little effort at what I would expect to be the bottom. Thanks for the video
i just did one of those replaced fuse and car started , i also noticed that wire harness just above the exhaust manifold was leading to the ecm was deteriorating and some of the wires melting together, check that as well
When I did it, after I got all of the clips released, the Connectors were still in the fuse box holding it down. I could tell because the screws were all the way up they did not fall down. I gave the screws I mild hit down and that pushed the Connectors down then the fuse box was free
The screws right there on top? You gave them a tap and it dislodged it? Cause I tried everything man that I'm able to do with this code it went away for about a month to two and came back so I'm starting to think it's my fuse box but can't get the darn thing out
Yes. If all the clips on the sides are realesed, and the screws are up, tap the screws down to push the electrical Connectors off of the back side of the fuse box
I have a Chevy traverse and I’m having issues. Did you have to program the part with the dealer because they are telling me I need to do that when I get the part.
I changed the fuse house as you explain here and when I tried to turn it on I couldn’t I already tried to charge it and nothing works it doesn’t turn on anything not even a liz do you know what I could have done wrong?

Did you reconnect the battery? Did you screw both wiring connectors into the new fuse box and reconnect all of the the wires to the top with the stud and nut?

The relays associated with the codes I was getting are only in the under hood fuse box.

Those screws don't get tight. They are designed to just bottom out snug. That is not why your car is not running

The screws are not supposed to get tight. They just bottom out to pull the electrical connector on the back side into place
@@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh but should they keep spinning
@@TheReelDeal-jq4qt yes
@MoneySavingDIY-sl2kh I'm only wondering because I turned those screws, per your advice and today the engine light is off
@@TheReelDeal-jq4qt yes
I've been experiencing all of this!!! Tried to change relay but no changes. In 1 week I paid $500 in tow bills. So change the entire fuse box itself?
It worked for me and is a known issue with this year. That might be your issue but it could be something else

I’m having the same problem with my 2016
I am having issues with my Chevy Traverse
I feel your pain
Bro I was trying to do this but couldn't get fuse box out. I undid the screws in middle and the clamps on side. But something is still holding it in
When I did it, after I got all of the clips released, the Connectors were still in the fuse box holding it down. I could tell because the screws were all the way up they did not fall down. I gave the screws I mild hit down and that pushed the Connectors down then the fuse box was free

I'm definitely have a lot problems
I have the same lights on on my 2013 Chevy
