Hi guys.
Sorry for long detailed post.
I used to be here way back in 05 under name 44Dwarf but i'm locked out of that now and can't seem to get password to reset ect. Any....
My 05 SS has done more sitting in the last 4 years then driving as my job had me in a service van.
The OEM battery died over the winter. I replaced it with a charged up new battery from Advanced (I wanted an interstate but no one had stock).
Car was fine for a few days then i got the dreaded no crank problem. Battery testing showed low resistance and 150 more then spec CCA on the new battery.
After some research here i swapped around relays with no change. After some more research i found a post about the computer connections in front of the fuse box so i Disconnected the battery removed the air cleaner tube and used CRC contact cleaner and compressed air to clean the outsides of the connectors and one by open opened them and pulled them off. the top two were clean and dry....the bottom one had oil inside! i later found out it was from a split hose going to the air cleaner tube. Anyway cleaned the computer side and the connector side even popped the top off the connector and cleaned the wire side.
Reassembled and connected the battery car with turn over and start now HOWEVER there is now a 2-3 second delay in when the key is turned to when the engine cranks. Okay i can live with that i guess...My inspection is long over due and I've been trying to get the 5 monitors to come up OKAY so it can get a new sticker.
Now i found i have only 2psi of boost (1st time ever its not built boost) so more research i find intercooler pump is bad so i got a new one put it in and bleed the system via the bolt on the rad and burping it on the filler.
So more diving to get the EVAP monitor to come in okay and up pops the security light....
The only code reader i have will not look at live signals ect it a reader / clearer but i have no check engine light just limited boost and now the security car lock light.
Short of taking to the dealer anyone know how to clear the security light?
Thanks.
