Good vid. Hooked up my scanner and found battery good. And alternator pushing at 15. I got the ground in dash done and found this ground wire installed but it was super easy to brake loose. Popped it off sanded, cleaned it. Now truck cranks faster.
Thank you for going to the trouble to show us this. Good job! I don't have trouble yet with my Silverado, but I'm going to clean them up to prevent a problem.
I had problems like this and it popping a stabilitrak code. I cleaned the grounds, did the stearing position sensor, and the dealer had it for 3 days and said it was a bad hub. None of this fixed the issue. I changed the negative battery cable which looked completely fine about 4 months ago and the problems have completely gone away. I just figured while i have a minute id comment this on some of this videos so it coule maybe help someone because nobody had any deffinite answers for me and it sucked
I'm in that exact same position. I've cleaned the grounds. I've purchased a new battery. For whatever reason the truck will still completely shut down some times. Usually if the air conditioner is on I'm slowing down and turning into a parking lot. It's like with the electronic steering it's drawing too many amps. The truck completely shut down today and if a car was pulling out of the parking lot I would have hit them head on! The only option I know left is to change the whole negative battery cable. Every time this has happened in the past, I have no power until I open up the hood and squeeze the negative cable. It looks fine but obviously it's not! Glad changing it helped you. Hope it does the same for me..
Thank you for posting this. I'm having the same issue right now. Next dealership appointment is March 26th. So I started cleaning the grounds tonight. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I was having the same problem maybe a year ago on my 2015 tahoe ltz. Took it in to the shop had all the grounds cleaned up, but it eventually came back. I replaced the negative ground wire and it fixed for about 6 months. Now it's doing it again. This has to be a recall. Going to check the hot battery terminal and the ground by the speaker next. After that I'm getting rid of this thing. I'll keep everyone posted.
Bro thank you, my 2019 ltz Chevy did the same but a/c turns off lights flickering, cluster turns on/off, and when I go over a bump or it also random at times- I did a big 3, & did what you did it helped 3 months in already no issue- Wish GM did better on the grounding but thanks brother-🤙
Yes thank you man! Perfect. Wires all the same on mine. I have a liner as well. I got 20s force of road with mud tires and lift. Engine looks the same as well. I got the 2017 z71 midnight edition. Its a 6.2L Guy before did lots of upgrades. 2 12s, lift, tires, rims. It's all leather. Both my wires on the exact same spot. I passed and looked at it. I went step by step. Thank you for taking time and showing in detail. It's easier if someone like you knows what they doing show where wires start and end. I'm going to clean up now. See of that fixes. Also besides the inside that's nicer in the GMC what makes it better? Cause chevy and gmc basically same truck.
Hope it salves ur issues man well my Chevy was just a LT I didn’t have the sunroof parking sensors no side steps no heated are cooled seats no fog lights this trucks just way more loaded is all it yes gmc Chevy same thing please lmk how it acts after cleaning up the grounds
@@garciagarage7735 I'm in the middle of doing it rn. There's a few inches of snow here so it's taking me some time with laying down pads, and yeah I got all of those things in mine already. I'm going to keep mine for a long time. I got everything I need in it with a 6.2L. I can tow 11.7k.
i have a 2014 sierra 5.3L and my truck had flickering dash lights while slowing down and turning out on the road. then as i was turning to get in my driveway it just shut down with no power to anything. it was completely dead. after troubleshooting the battery, battery main fuse, checked all fuses, cleaned all grounds from battery to passenger side of engine block and chassis and removed the insulation from the ground under the driver side dash, nothing helped at all. until i wiggled the negative terminal on the battery and then i finally got power and started the truck right up. it happened again later on that day when i was at the dealer getting the new ground cables to replace from the battery to side of engine block and chassis. after replacing the ground cable that problem hasn’t happened again. save your guys time and skip all of that and just replace the ground cables.
Yo mfr, I just wanted to thank you for making this video I'm out doing my lawn route and truck wouldn't start...new battery new starter etc...figured it was grounds ...fukn saved my ass bro....keep sharing any tips/tricks you find in life! Thanks my boy!!
Bro I need help I figured out the stabilitrack thing but I have also the instrument cluster problem where it’s in park but the orange light won’t glow over it and I put it in reverse and it glows I put in neutral and it stops glowing and drive also and then on M1 gears it works but idk what’s causing it.. it comes and goes mostly when I off road
I have a 2018 z 71 1500 silverado. So my issue is every time I close my door there’s a honking on all doors. And then the radio would change setting and the screen would act crazy opening Avery app
For everyone who's having flickering dash lights, , the truck suddenly shutting down when lowering the speed to idle, slipping transmission (sometimes) a voltage reading under 14 volts (9 to 11) nav system and radio suddenly shutting down..., YES, THIS IS THE PROBLEM believe it or not. A bad ground because with time starts to get rusted or dirty and is not properly making the ground as it should be, taking off the screw and cleaning the parts, where it goes connected and the metal that the screw holds fixes everything.
@@juanrrobledo89 any chance is a black sierra, cause I just seen a black sierra stalled in the freeway in Oklahoma City and I wondered if it was you searching this
I clean mines yesterday and it hasn’t been doing the flickering or shutting off and the steering wheel doesn’t jerk around when I turn . It was dirty af . Hopefully it stays like this thanks
Yea man I hope u got her all fixed n saved some money from the shops. Please if u remember and truck is still going good in a month r two post a update comment thank u for ur feedback
Did this to my truck and maybe 4 months later the same problem is occurring… i think that it never truly fixed the problem. I think I’ve just driven enough miles for the codes to come back up. Anyone have tips?
My car wont start battery is showing 12.7-12.8 volts on my tuner batterybis less than 2 months old negative terminal was loose but i tightened it back up would this help my problem as well??
@@garciagarage7735 thanks for quick response! Testing now and if it doesn't work I've seen videos about broken/knicked wires in the front driver door harness that are another possible solution.
I have a problem with my 16 Silverado doing strange things. Saying battery saver active, battery charging system needs service, alternator shows bad, take it in to rebuild shop and they say its good. check battery and it is good. Bought a new battery current sensor but didn't put it on yet. I saw this video and my ground wire is filthy. I cleaned it real good like you said. I will know if that was or is the problem. Time will tell. Thanks for the info! Big thumbs up to you!!!!
Hopefully she’s back to the tuck u love with no issues and hope u can get the money back on the battery post a update in a couple months hopefully she’s good to go
@@garciagarage7735 so far it is working as it should. I forgot to mention too, that when it was acting up, the wipers would turn on and make 1 stroke when I would rev the engine up. dash lights would go completely out and the steering would not work! Thanks again. Why would they put a ground wire right behind the tire where it is going to catch all the crap off the road? just so they can make money on repairs!
Dude!!!!! I wish I would have seen this video first lol , I changed my spark plugs , wires , coils , injectors , tps, accelerator pedal and sensor and ground wires , but my truck was still running rough at idle and in drive and no acceleration from dead stop , come to find out my battery is at 8 volts , come to find out my ecu didn’t have the correct voltage to operate the ecu and throttle position, and that’s why I was getting tps codes and stabilitrak codes and I was overheating at idle , just really weird symptoms and this is the biggest but of my life !!!! But !! But I just got the battery 2 months ago and my truck starts just fine, without the correct voltage it made my truck run like shit , I thought my ecu was bad and all kinds of stuff, I assumed because I just got the battery, didn’t even cross my mind to test it😆😆😆never again will I assume!!!?truck started easily , it just wouldn’t show more than 8.93 volts at the post 😂😊
Same issues cleaned mine yesterday see what happens . I changed throttle , senors etc before cleaning the damn ground plate showed in this video lol Before I cleaned the plate to bare metal I had a reduce power engine issue I think the ground was resetting my new throttle after it would make the truck flicker ..not fun trying to figure this stuff out that’s for sure
Thanks, I'm sitting in my doctor's office parking lot looking for the reason my truck dims the lights and turns the radio screen off when I turn or put on brakes.
90% of the time when there is an electrical issue it will be a ground. Symptoms will vary as the power is searching for a new ground. Also, rarely will it be on the interior. Good luck guys! Btw, the morons that engineer these vehicles never have to work on them. 😳
Its about 3:30am im tired of that random flickering lights inside and out having all kinds of power loss on my 15 gmc bouta go clean that ground on the bottom tommorow chances are thats the issue ill keep updated👍🏼
Wondering if this will help my problem, I have a 2015 Silverado 5.3, truck kicks into engine power reduced mode and stabiltrak lights comes on and puts the truck in limp mode won’t go over 50. Going to try this this weekend.
What were the symptoms of this grounding issue? I think mine has this issue but my dash cluster is freaking out and losing power intermittently and showing every error possible
Oh man. This video he made it for me. FYI thank you again. I got "stailback" while driving and loosing power. Brights went out, other things stopped working. I cleaned the ground wire after this video. It did not solve anything for me. My truck died a week ago. It was towed this morning to drlaethsip , and be there a few days. A lot of my fuses are messed up, ground wires, alternator, pretty much all electrical. I will get a list either tomorrow or in the next 2 or 3 days. I'll comment when I get my full report. I know that 14-18 have this issue with ground wires. Like this guy here says. He or 100% spot on. I literally made a list this meaning of 8 things wrong with it electrically and handed it to chevy dealership. I will check all 8 things in front of them when they say truck is done.
Bro it happend to me same thing but my rear lights stay on and drain my battery it happend like every 3 months and sometimes stay like thar real lights on alll the time do you think it will be the same thing?
Oh yeah. I got a call today. They keeping it till Monday. However here is all thats wrong. Battery fuse box was causing my electrical issues, except the "stailback" that was the ground wire under the dash. My thermometer was out, and my radiator leaking. They keeping it in the shop till Tuesday. Battery fuse box actually messed my battery. I was getting somehow to much power into my battery. Did not effect my stereo system on a negative way just cut my base out. I got 2 12s under back seats. Thay fuse box hard shorts all over it. So made all electronics mess up and ruin battery on top of the other stuff.
Its all good i had to replace my radiator but back lights still on and drain my battery i will try to clean de ground cables i hope that fix everything
What did that fix on yours? What made they do it? You're telling us about this electrical issue. But you have not yet identified what electrical issue you're having. Yeah, I get it you cleaned up the grounds. What did it fix? That would be nice to know.
Should change the clickbait title to how you fixed your GMC Sierra lol. Anyways, I've cleaned up my grounds in my dash, cleaned up all of the connections underneath the truck (mine is a 2014) and got a new battery. At this point the only thing I haven't changed is the harness itself which is in short supply. Issue is still happening 🤷
I've got a 14 and done all those same things and still having a problem. Did you ever just completely change the negative battery cable? If you did did that fix your problem? Appreciate the feedback..
A week ago I removed the front dash panel and check both grounds at each pillar tucked up under windshield. Driver side was good. Passenger side was tight but wires sitting on the rubber matting. Removed the speaker. Loosened the nut to get all the rubber removed that the wire was sitting on. Cut all of it off around the bolt. Tightened back up and drove a week without issue. Today I drove about 28 miles. Shutoff truck. Went to get back in it and it would not unlock from key fob.. so, I assumed all electrical was out.. used key to get in truck. Amp steps did not work. Turned key nothing… not a sound.. just put new battery in a week ago. Checked both battery connections and both were tight. Another fella saw my hood up and came over to assist.. spent about 15 minutes checking fuses battery terminals and nothing. So, was planning on calling tow truck.. the fella and myself wanted to push the truck out of the way.. turned key nothing.. put truck in neutral and pushed it about 30 feet. I was steering and both of us pushing. Got to the spot I wanted it parked. Pushed the brake down put it in park. And all the power came back and truck fired right up… I also fixed the grounds underneath the truck… pulled bolts out. Grinding down to bare metal putting dyo electric grease on the bolt and tightened them all down… now I am wondering what my next step should be? And help and guidance would be appreciated. My thoughts of possibilities are. 1) ignition switch I am leaning towards that or a ground I am missing? When it would happen when truck is running the truck continues running fine. Just all electrical goes out… I mean everything…. All lights entire dash… which is a huge safety concern driving at night? Any thoughts? Thanks
Wth really damn it sounds like a bad connection some where if u got all the grounds but somthing as simple as pushing the truck making it start sounds like something lose let me look over my truck n see what I can find for u to look at strange tho has to be somthing stupid simple
Do u have a lot of keys on ur key ring I do know that too much keys on a ring is bad for the ignition I was kinda thinking the same thing the switch but hard to say
I know it sounds stupid but I wonder if the Apple ID might be interfering with the cars key chip Iv seen the little bling ring around the key whole mess with a car n it not start just cuz of the little bedazzled ring for dress up around the key whole but I think the Apple ID might be built smarter then that but I’m not sure just a thought
I’m kinda late to the game but I bought a 2014 GMC Sierra and had issues with its theft deterrent system. I thought it was a grounding issue too, so your video has helped me look for grounds in places I didn’t know to look for Thanks for posting the video, great help. Congrats on your job at the PO 🎉
Chief, I was having the same issues. No joke I had just joined a gym and the RFID key fob I got for the gym is what was causing the truck to go into anti-theft mode. I took it off my keyring, never had an issue with it again.

I've got a 14 and done all those same things and still having a problem. Did you ever just completely change the negative battery cable? If you did did that fix your problem? Appreciate the feedback..
Finally a real MF.. Thanks dog
Did you have to unhook the battery
U should yes
No , it’s a ground..
Any videos on how to replace the cable ?
I don’t got one but I can for sure take a look n make one
A week ago I removed the front dash panel and check both grounds at each pillar tucked up under windshield. Driver side was good. Passenger side was tight but wires sitting on the rubber matting. Removed the speaker. Loosened the nut to get all the rubber removed that the wire was sitting on. Cut all of it off around the bolt. Tightened back up and drove a week without issue. Today I drove about 28 miles. Shutoff truck. Went to get back in it and it would not unlock from key fob.. so, I assumed all electrical was out.. used key to get in truck. Amp steps did not work. Turned key nothing… not a sound.. just put new battery in a week ago. Checked both battery connections and both were tight. Another fella saw my hood up and came over to assist.. spent about 15 minutes checking fuses battery terminals and nothing. So, was planning on calling tow truck.. the fella and myself wanted to push the truck out of the way.. turned key nothing.. put truck in neutral and pushed it about 30 feet. I was steering and both of us pushing. Got to the spot I wanted it parked. Pushed the brake down put it in park. And all the power came back and truck fired right up… I also fixed the grounds underneath the truck… pulled bolts out. Grinding down to bare metal putting dyo electric grease on the bolt and tightened them all down… now I am wondering what my next step should be? And help and guidance would be appreciated. My thoughts of possibilities are. 1) ignition switch I am leaning towards that or a ground I am missing? When it would happen when truck is running the truck continues running fine. Just all electrical goes out… I mean everything…. All lights entire dash… which is a huge safety concern driving at night? Any thoughts? Thanks
Wth really damn it sounds like a bad connection some where if u got all the grounds but somthing as simple as pushing the truck making it start sounds like something lose let me look over my truck n see what I can find for u to look at strange tho has to be somthing stupid simple
Do u have a lot of keys on ur key ring I do know that too much keys on a ring is bad for the ignition I was kinda thinking the same thing the switch but hard to say
@@garciagarage7735 I have only 3 keys and 1 Apple ID on my key ring.
I know it sounds stupid but I wonder if the Apple ID might be interfering with the cars key chip Iv seen the little bling ring around the key whole mess with a car n it not start just cuz of the little bedazzled ring for dress up around the key whole but I think the Apple ID might be built smarter then that but I’m not sure just a thought
@@garciagarage7735 was thinking same thing
What issues was this giving you?
If you watch my first video, I show the issues
No mms. Estoy en el jale guey 😂
I’m kinda late to the game but I bought a 2014 GMC Sierra and had issues with its theft deterrent system.
I thought it was a grounding issue too, so your video has helped me look for grounds in places I didn’t know to look for
Thanks for posting the video, great help.
Congrats on your job at the PO 🎉
What fix your theft deterrent system? Help I have same issue

I went to the local GMC dealer and had a new factory key made and that fixed the issue, haven’t had the issue come up since
Chief, I was having the same issues. No joke I had just joined a gym and the RFID key fob I got for the gym is what was causing the truck to go into anti-theft mode. I took it off my keyring, never had an issue with it again.
Manners lol
Just need the info 🤦♂️ the fake gangster crap is just stupid 😂
