    My 03 GMC ENVOY SLT would not start. Checked, found couple of bad fuses under the hood. Had battery tested was fine. Replaced starter it worked. But now, when I turn on my heater fan it wants to die or bogg then recovers. Intermittent. Had an issue with a loose negative on battery but I replaced bolt. Where should I start looking?

    I cannot figure out my car's flickering issue. Battery is testing good. The alternator is reading 14.05 volts on my multimeter. I replaced the terminals and a broken ground strap. It is running and starting good but still flickering. No battery light. The alternator is not even a year old. The starter is about 5 years old. It must have a electrical issue that is beyond my ability to fix.

    QUESTION as a Subscriber..... 1999 Cherokee XJ @ 200k miles... runs great. **How much longer can I expect the fuel pump to last? Replace now as likely soon due?

    I have a 2005 trailblazer and the lights are flickering, I had the alternator and battery checked and they both check out good. I have no engine lights on eithier. When I accelerate they still flicker at the same rate. Any ideas?

    Been there, done that. I used to carry a long bar to tap the starter until I could fix the problem.

    My headlights flickered/ strobed on a 1998 Toyota Camry. Replaced bulbs, relays, module control & checked electrical grounds... Permanently fix flickering by installing a custom built 230 amp alternator. Problem solved

    Can a starter cause a car to shut off and not start afterwards? Cause it to do a no crank no start after? My car died while driving the lights started flickering and the radio shut off.

    My car dashboard light flicker. Speedometer, acceleration, fuel, temperature gauge all will go down and comes back to normal. Look like car goes dead and come back to life. I'm checking my alternator tomorrow if it can solve the problem

    Not always, sometimes you can get parts online Much cheaper with the same warranties and if you buy multiple of the same or different parts in bulk it’s even better.
