I feel as though Tran should take this off the main site, you don't want autoblog or other's to get a hold of this

that battery was the original battery in a 1991 gmc syclone, so it was produced in 1990-1991

Highly suspect, most likely the cable was damaged or compromised in some manner during the install, If there was not a fusible link between the batt and starter the only limiting factors would be the fault current (which is easily over a thousand amps) and the duration time until the battery drained. Issues like this can lead to fires, I'm sure the factory is all over this, doubt it's design related, anyway could of given you your first excuse to use OnStar and like you said, make sure you tell them it's Decepticon related. |

Probably different times for AC Delco from a quality perspective. I'm talking based on new batteries acquired between 2002 and 2005.

wow a camaro in Hanford, to bad my first time seeing it was in the shop, however I had the opportunity to meet Bumleb and her family, awesome people.
I will post some pictures as soon as Bumleb sees this post and gives me permission to do so. Nonetheless it seams the wires where touching the started got burnt and thus caused the car to shut down. for example in this pic.

I would love to see pics of the "damage".... something does seem a little strange. Gotta be damaged during install.

Goodness sakes. I am sitting here shaking my head that people are obsessing over 24 miles on a car at delivery.
Good Lord, that is unblievable. If my dealer puts 50 miles on my car and everything works right when I take delivery, it is not an issue for me. Maybe I am not as out there as some. But this seems a bit over the top. But then again, I put over 30k miles on my Grand Prix every year. |

I believe like shnomac77 said, the cable was damaged during installation, or there was actual melting of the insulation.
For the cable to simply wear in this short amount of time, it would have had to been in a major pinching situation. I don't see how even excessive vibration could have done the damage in such a short amount of time. Also, what about the key not being able to be removed without power? What's the purpose of that design? |
