3 pins had shorted out and left a good amount of carbon residue on the connection terminals. Send email address by private message (left click on my screen name) if you'd like the complete service bulletin.įar2grumpy you have been extremely helpful!!!! The x408 connector had serious corrosion and shorts from what i assume to be water damage. I'll post screen shot of one service bulletin and need to find the other. There's a connector in that area also related to fail-to-start condition. The ABS/TCS light is commonly caused by connections in rear part of Vue. That data can save time and money in long run. Many auto stores will check reason for service light at no charge. Either battery or cables can provide current to latch start relay but then refuse to "carry" 200 amps needed to turn starter. See fdryer post - verify condition of battery and all red and black cable connections. don't give up - I'll find time over weekend to check possibilities. If anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears! I'm hoping I can fix this problem myself and save a bundle that I can't afford!Ĭhris. ABS and traction control lights have been on since about a year after I bought the car Check engine light has been on for about a year (just don't have the money to take it in the mechanic)Ĥ. radio is unaffected and remains on during the cycling of the A/C and seatbelt alarmģ. not based on making left or right hand turns.Ģ. I've tried some basic troubleshooting and have found out this so far:ġ. The car now rings its seatbelt bell and cycles the blower for the heat/ac vents as if a key was turning on the car and there isn't a key in the ignition! Then the whole thing would cycle after a random amount of time where the seatbelt bell would ring again and the A/C turning on shortly after that.
Also, as this went on the car would ring it's seatbelt bell as if the car was being turned on for the first time, after the seatbelt rings ended, the A/C would turn on then about 20 seconds later turn back off. Eventually the A/C would turn on and off when the key is not even in the ignition!Īt the same time this happened, I also noticed that every time the A/C turned on/off I could hear the compressor in the engine bay engage and disengage. The fan for the A/C and Heat would turn off and on while the car was driving. As this problem got worse, other electrical problems started to pop up. The latter problem has gotten increasingly worse sometimes not starting for a good minute of trying to turn the key. The starter sounds healthy and is able to start the car in less than a second. After several attempts of turning the key, the car would finally start. I would turn the key but all I would hear is a "click" from the engine bay.
Around the same time I started having issues with starting the vehicle. I would recharge the battery and the car would be fine then about 8 months later the battery would be dead again. Out of the blue the battery would be completely dead overnight, no interior or exterior lights left on to cause it. No accidents.Ībout a year ago I started getting issues with the battery. Have had to replace the front passenger side wheel bearing, no other repairs made on the car. I've had my 08 Vue since it was new, it's 5 years old now with 92K miles. Hello everyone, long time lurker, first time poster.
