This is a short video on a 2013 Chevy Cruze that may be losing power unexpectedly, cutting off or having StabiliTrak issues. Often misdiagnosed as a battery issue, a bad negative battery cable could be the culprit.
MODELS: 2011-2015 Chevrolet Cruze
On certain 2011-2015 model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles, the negative battery cable terminal clamp may have an insufficient crimp at the battery negative terminal. Over time, the internal resistance increases and vehicle electrical systems do not receive adequate power.

@@tsorrig no, after that I replaced all the fuse’s with new fuses and saw a small difference. I then removed the fuse box, opened it up to expose the circuit board of the fuse box, and used sandpaper on all the terminal connection points that the fuses would connect to. And that worked, the internet mentioned something about the metal they used for connections oxidizes more often creating a bad connection.

This cable is listed under a GM recall. It doesn't matter if you're the original or 3rd owner - take it to any GM dealership and they'll replace it free.

Not sure if the time has run out or what, but I just called my local Chevy dealership about my 2012 Cruze with this issue and they said there weren’t any open recalls and wanted to charge me $200 just for diagnostics 😩

Thanks for the info! My wife's 2015 Cruze has been experience issues with no crank, radio going off, etc. Sometimes when the car would not start, I would check the negative battery cable and it would be HOT! Burned my finger one time on it. Cable is only $29 at O'Reilly's so gonna get that ASAP.

In my case I had a bad diode then a bad battery too!. So all said & done this caused well over $500 in problems (with me doing the labor). My 1st cruze had none of these issues & ran past 305k miles. Idk what in the world "inadequate crimp". Obviously somebody knew if they dont crimp the cable right at the factory gonna be big problems! GMs own suppliers must actively sabotoge GM!

Did your car also have any power at one point because mine does that but now there’s no power at all not even when u open the door they just replaced the ground wire for me n told me it’s running but still could have electronic issues

@ToddWaldeck Жыл бұрын

I have a 2014 Impala and I had the same exact issue and I replaced the battery fuse block and wiggled the ground wire and the same problems you had went away. I will be replacing the negative wire soon.

I have a 014 Cruze. It's throwing a U0101 code, and says no TCM communication. Also says eletrical issue. It stays in limp mode, Stability light illuminates, TCM illuminates, doesn't show the PRNDL. Can this cable be the culprit?

@truckkjonze308 11 ай бұрын

Yes it's possible. This code calls for: Repair damaged wiring or connectors. Repair ground connections. Replace TCM.

Then I have to start it again, does this fix can solve that issue or I might address it in other way?. Thanks!

I have a 2014 sonic,my radio turns on and off,goes through the stations,volume goes up and down,radio will come on with no key in, and sometimes while I driving the transmission go into limp mode and feel like it's going through all the gears,the doors will even lock and unlocked like it's going between drive and park,when I disconnect the battery it clears it up,for a few days then starts doing it again. I think my car needs saging. Lol.
