What are the G2 grounds? I know about the one up by the windshield.

Chevy are a POS

I've changed the negative cable and the one under dashboard. Still failing. Next is battery

Having the same issue on my 2014 checvy silverado. Truck has shut off a few times when turning into a parking spot. Just recently I parked and came back to a compltely dead truck, towed it back to my house and was going to tow it to the dealership until i stumbled upon this video. Went out. Popped my hood and wiggled my negative cable line and boom all my electronics came back and and the truck started up. Sounds like i need to replace the negative cable on my truck asap! Now to find a video of how to do that!

Hey, do you have a video ? Please I have the same issue

So about a year ago my truck started dying in the middle of the street so I took it to the dealership and told me that the negative cable had to be replaced because it was a manufactures recall so they replaced it for free 😊 but they told me they had to replace a battery because it was not good no more. So I told ok replace the battery then. So it been about 8 months that this happens. Now the problem is that the truck won’t start anymore unless I jump start it. I don’t drive the truck every day. So when I drive the truck about 5 miles it won’t charge. But if I drive the truck over 15 miles it charges about 3 days. I have gone to 3 mechanic and have said I can’t find nothing on the truck. The last mechanic told me just switch the battery. Now that I saw your video I might just do that. But I don’t understand they replaced the battery with the negative cable. Plzzzzz help meeee

My 2014 chevys radio sound,blinker sounds, and seatbelt sounds don’t work anymore. I’ve replaced the battery and replaced the fuzed that were connected to the radio, anyone know how to fix it?

Had mine 6 months and just goes completely dead when driving down the road. Guess I'll try this

Omg!! Thank you for sharing this video! We just bought a new battery , come to know it wasn’t the problem, then paid $60.00 just to get it checked because after the new battery it still keeps dying! Well this is out last option and I’m sure it will work! Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the video. On my 2014 Silverado, about every month or so, i've had to take off the cable and put it back on because i would have no power at all. What I did notice though, is that the negative cable would feel hot. I don't know if you experienced the same.

Is it the same for the v6 model?

Everything you described is going on with my truck, down to the rolldown and roll up windows symptoms I took my 2015 Silverado truck to dealer and they couldnt fix it but still charged me so Negative Cable and a fresh battery huh? My battery is about two yrs old too, from Oreily's.

2014 Silverado z71 crew cab here. After 5 years, bought my truck 2016, I have finally determined it was my negative battery cable the other day. Have one being shipped right now. Looked for videos on how to replace and found your video. I have felt your pain! That damn theft alarm! Haha Thanks for sharing.

Thanks man!!

Same problem here with my 2014 GMC Sierra SLT …saw all the same videos you mentioned did everything they mentioned no results or not the problem. The dealer wanted to make this truck it’s money pit to where I thought I would just trade it in or sell it. They didn’t want to admit it was a problem even though it’s life threatening no recalls just instructions to their mechanics a WTF moment is wrong with you people $$$ is all they want and a big FU to preserving the life of their customers. Thanks to seeing your video you were spot on…with me just replacing the negative battery cable I haven’t had a problem. Thanks again brother…you saved a lot of lives and brain racking.

Thank you I will check that out I have a 2016 Gmc sierra and got the same problem Electric problem like you say racking my brains try to see what wrong..

Mine is having the same issues. Except i do not have a slow crank. I took it to the dealer. They checked the battery. Dealer said it was good. The problem went away when they checked it. Any ideas? Could they have moved the ground wire? Thanks Jeff.

Thanks for the video, same issues with my 2014 Silverado. I tried to replace the negative battery cable, I just couldn’t figure a way to get a socket on the dang nut where I could ratchet it off. Going to let a pro do it, thought it would be more straightforward.

Mine just started this crap!!! Did the A pillars today. Guess I will do the rest tomorrow.

Appreciate the advice. Thank you.

Awesome. Thank you for making this video and taking the time to explain it all

guys here a fix for service stabilitrak that a lot of people do not know about it is directly under driver seat kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKiphH2wrcmbgqs

Thanks dude!!👍

Has anyone had this same issue but because of positive cables? Mine just started having an ass load of electrical shit happening, and I’ve replaced battery and ground, g218 posts in my 2016 are clear of all sound deadening. Only possible things I believe it could be are, ecm or positive terminal cable 🤷🏼‍♂️

2016 Chevy Silverado wt2500 dies out no power with stability track on punch it radio dies out with dash sometime wiloykd tell me to roll window down roll window up

Man I just replaced my whole battery and a brand new alternator on my 2017 Chevy Silverado but my truck died in the middle of the freeway!!! I’m going crazy over here

Had the exact same thing with my 14' Silverado. Theft deterrent light comes on intermittently and complete power loss including engine. Thanks a lot for this video!!

I have the same truck. I've been having the same problems. Thank you for sharing this video.

Truck still problem free after both cables postive(the big long one) and negative cable as well.....problem solved

Thank you sir for sharing this!!!!!! My truck is now doing the same thing and years later the dealership seems to still be at a lost!!! They wanted almost $1000 from me to guess at the problem!

You the man!! Dealership doesn't have a clue. Quick fix Solved issued! Thanks again

Thanks for this video. I am having the same issue with my 2014 Silverado. Twice in the last 7,000 miles it shut off on me while turning into a parking space and drive way. Took it to the dealership and they want to replace all of the battery cables and harness which is ~$1,110. They said it is a loss in amperage within the cables as the battery and electronics are checking out fine. Could you confirm that youv'e had success with this adjustment since the video has been made? thanks for the help.

Still issue free?

Thank you so much! I just had this issue with my 2014 Silverado!!! I just bought my negative battery terminal to replace it. With mine, every time mine shuts off, I wiggle the negative cable and it starts right back up..... Thank you again for your video!!!

Fu*k yea that shit worked! Thanks wish I had of watched sooner but I would of been eatting steaks instead of fuck money GM was to cheap of spend!

When you would either brake or engage blinkers would your dash flicker? Mine has and I clean the G2 grounds hoping that would fix the problem but have not had any success. Some people say it could be the ground on the starter solenoid shorting out on its heat shield.

UPDATE: the truck started some funky shit again. I replaced the POSITIVE CABLE AS WELL.......All electrical issues have been solved! 🍺🍺

You are spot on with the issue. GM now has a Service Bulletin on the issue. It's #18-NA-161. It lists all the symptoms what the causes are and how to correct the issue. Hope this helps others.

Thanks a bunch, going through it now

Thanks for sharing this. We just upgraded the ground wire on our buddy's 2015, negative to cab and engine to cab.

Great video MERICA!

Im experiencing this exact issue and man, I always knew it had to do something with the negative cables. My truck would die and I would have to go outside pop the hood and wiggle the negative connection just a bit and the truck would start up and I’ve cleaned the grounds ! So this makes me 100% happy i’m not the only one that thinks this, I also cleaned the grounds on the dash and replaced with new battery. Will order one soon! Thanks

My 2007 NBS has had electrical problems for a long time. Gauges going crazy, truck not starting.. I would wiggle the ground cable and trigger my door locks with my key fob. That would restore power and the truck would turn on. So i replaced my negative and positive cables. Was good for about 6 months. Now my climate control randomly resets to 74°, and my stereo settings also resets. Battery is testing at 12.5 off, 14.3 while running..

I'm going look under my hood now. I've been having issues all winter (Utah) Replaced the battery and still having issues. Thanks for the help.

I have 14 silverado, stabilitrak light come on randomly along with abs light. All brake components are new as well as wheel bearings. Nothing I see to be out of the norm as in parts. First time this has happened. Wondering if it's the same issue? The dealer said they will charge $70 to run a computer on it next week. Do you think it's worth the money to have them do that?

Thanks but what are G2 Grounds?

I've been having the exact issues. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you very much for making a video on this common annoying problem but without good solutions (from dealership). Have a few questions: 1) why would your (and most of ours) battery negative cable fail so soon (within 3-4 years)? 2) do you recommended installing any other brand battery cable other than GM? (since it appears that the factory installed cables have been failing so soon) Thanks

Replacing the negative cable and putting a new battery will fix this problem right. ? did you get a stabilitrak error on cluster?

Thanks man, I had the security issue pop up once... in my mind I was like here we go.
