1996 GMC Suburban electrical complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Battery leaking acid caused the side post to crack and corrode. Cause unknown. Please give any further details.
Battery failed and leaked battery acid into engine compartment. Intermittent failure to start was subsequent to battery failure. No apparent damage to brake subsystem apparent yet, will investigate brakes further.
Fuel pump failed, upon inspection of the unit mechanic found that the insulation was burned on the wiring inside of the tank. We have had this none functioning fuel system problem for over a year. This was the first time it completely quit and would not start. It would seem to me that amp draw enough to melt back wire insualtion insde the fuel tank should be fuse protected! Last time the truck would not start the dealership we use in clinton mo ( raysick gmc, clinton mo) towed the truck in and once inside it started. But the truck has left us stranded numerous times before.
1996 gmc suburban experiences a complete loss of all electrical power upon acceleration. Engine shuts down and will not recrank. At times, will not crank initially. Have replaced battery (twice) and alternator. Dealer says problem is battery.
While the truck is running the engine will shut off and about once a week. When starting the truck, it will not start. The truck has been towed to the dealer 4 times in the last 6 weeks. The battery/starter and alternator have all been replaced, and the problem continues. *ak consumer feels this is due to an electrical problem.
Power window on the driver's side failed.
Battery failed.
