    NEED HELP 2005 Buick Rainier Intermittent Electrical Issues

    Well good news on the ABS C0265 issue. It's fixed! Doing more research I found this a Chevy site, not sure of the forum rules so I won't link unless given the OK by a mod. This photo does show the problem, re-soldered the pin and that corrected that problem. While that issue is corrected I...

    Video: This is why you don't work under with a jack!

    I don't understand why the cop was the one who called for a jack. The store manager and customers should have had the car up on a jack and stands well before the cops arrived. Need some of that "toxic masculinity" up there. SMH

    Body is slowing down and the travel bug is calling-Tools sale in future

    Must be tough giving up your tools. I'm 67 with a bum knee and bad back but I'm not quite ready to give it up yet. I still get around pretty good, had a guy at work tell me I moved like a cat. Not sure if he meant feline or construction equipment! I retired from paid work 5 yrs ago, now I...

    No, the interior lights do not cycle too. I don't know if the glass latch is cycling but I know for a fact the lift gate latch does as I have the moulding pulled and I unplug the gate latch and it quits. Just finished going through all the grounds, they're all clean now but test drive was no...

    NEED HELP 2005 Buick Rainier Intermittent Electrical Issues

    Started back troubleshooting and something odd happened. I had the lift gate open and was checking a number of things, grounds mostly, and took the panel off to access the splice pack under the dash. Went inside for a head call (bathroom for you land lubbers) and when I came out the lift gate...

    NEED HELP 2005 Buick Rainier Intermittent Electrical Issues

    There is no moisture in the tailgate, everything is dry as a bone. In post 1 I listed the things I did. Item #7 was disconnect the splice pack, would that not disconnect the TGM? I did a scan with it disconnected and the scanner could not find the TGM so I think it was. Thoughts?

    The photos of the broken wires is exactly what I had and repaired. And just had a thought, I need to do the wiggle test as @Mooseman suggested but on the wires I already repaired also. Hey Coastie! Not too many of us around on forums. I see you have Tampa area as your home, were you at...

    NEED HELP 2005 Buick Rainier Intermittent Electrical Issues

    I think you are correct as the ABS &brake warning lights will be off for miles then all of a sudden come on. Other times they come on right after I start the car. An unusual thing is in cold wx the lights seems to stay off longer. I find that odd and do not know what to think of that. I'm a...

    Forgot to add that the Innova could not establish comms with the lift gate module.

    NEED HELP 2005 Buick Rainier Intermittent Electrical Issues

    I have a 2005 Rainier, 4.2L inline 6 with @125,000 miles and I’m about ready to junk it. Intermittent electrical issues are a real PITA. I have been trying to get these issues corrected literally for months. I believe they are all due to one thing but I can’t find “the thing” and I’m hoping...
