I hate to bring up similar threads in a new one, however, the one i was reading ended with no solution and the OP had left.
HOWEVER.... I've been having electrical issues with my 2006. The battery would die after about 10 minutes of leaving the trunk up or the interior lights on. So my options were a new battery or alternator. Since it didnt seem to die while driving (no matter what length of time.. 5min or 2 hours), i decided to replace the battery. My brother works for a GM dealer so i get parts for cost, however, the replacement battery was an ACdelco. Reguardless, it seemed to fix the issue for about two or three months with absolutely no problems. Then, beginning of this week I went to start my car and got absolutely nothing. All the accessories were just fine. nothing was dull. So i got a jump and it worked just fine. So i took it home, turned it off, and then tried starting it again, got absolutely nothing...
I then charged the battery and it started right up.. SO then i was thinking alternator, however, i let the car run for an hour and did some simply volt meter tests and it SEEMED to be ok.
Meanwhile, I was noticing that my trunk would just randomly pop up. even with keys nowhere in sight and my locks were not opening all the way upon hitting the unlock button.
This is where it gets weird. Yesterday, car was running and starting fine..until i put something in the trunk, then i had nothing... So i thought for some odd reason maybe it has somehitng to do with that (thought ive never heard of anything like this). But sure enough i hit the trunk button, and messed with the latch several times, and the CAR STARTED. This happened twice yesterday with the same results. However, today the same thing happened, so i messed with the trunk latch a few different times and got nothing.. Wiggled the battery terminals (which are tight), and messed with the trunk one last time before asking for a jump, and it started.
however, i drove it back to work and now it wont start........ It's way beyond me. My brother is getting me a replacement battery just to make sure its that but im thinking somehting electrical.. or maybe the ACdelco battery just isnt enough for these power hungry cars....
Please HELP!!!!!
