In another thread I posted in Vehicle Maintenance, I said I needed a body module in my Suburban. A few guys clued me in to reflowing the solder joints and it worked. My truck is ten years old and I've been upping the maintenance on it because I still use it for family trips and I need it for a few more years.
A month or so ago, I swapped out the negative battery cable with a brand new AC Delco replacement. I noticed some of the things started to work a little better. Nothing was NOT working, just not as well as when it was new. Taking a clue from that improvement, I changed the positive cable this past weekend. I wasn't expecting what happened next. EVERYTHING started working perfectly again. The locks lock on the first command, the gas pedal feels a ton crisper, the truck runs and accelerates better.
I also cleaned the ends of the cables that go from the alternator to the body fuse and to the fuse center. I think I'm going to replace them as well.
I told my brother to get busy changing his cables on his 07. My dad has a 14 so he should be good for a while.
