Electrical problems are, hands-down, the worst problems to have.

find out if your car was built on a Monday or Friday .. there is a bit of fact in vehicles being built on those days having more flaws than Tuesday thru Thursday cars ..

I just got back and she had them put some kind of cream or lube on my battery terminals. She said to drive it a couple days and go from there. I'm not a mechanic but when that guy jiggled my cables and my lights came on, I thought it would be something with the cables or wiring. Anyways, I'm a little scared to drive him especially with it getting colder. So I'm driving my husbands truck tonight. Maybe tomorrow too

That wicked sucks. Sorry you're still having trouble.
I hope it gets resolved quick. Make a note to the dealership about the jiggling of the battery cables to make it work.
Good luck!

They may have to replace the connectors on the wire, I know I had to last year when mine wouldn't start, it was the wire going to my amp, connector was too thick and would cause enough of a gap. Same thing in my 97 suburban, loose power wire connector, got so bad that bigger bumps would cause my lights to flicker.

I don't blame you. Putting lube on wires/terminals that when jiggled cause power issues is has to be a bad wire in the wires that were jiggled or bad/loose connection. Just because it's a dealer doesn't mean they have good techs

We found it!!!! It's in the wires coming from the battery. It's where they split at. I'm going to take it by the dealer tomorrow and see what they say. I'm just wanting Sexy back to normal!!!! Wish me luck!!!! Lol
