2004 Chevrolet Suburban Questions & Answers
2004 Chevrolet Suburban. My battery gauge isn't working?
Why did you buy three batteries? You can charge up batteries with an $19 battery charger.
You have so many electrical issues, probably all caused by the dash cam or something damaged when the headliner was replaced. You need a good auto-electrician.
How do I remove the third row seat. lever wont budge
I just fixed my dad's 04 suburban with the back seat's #1 lever not budging. It's a surprisingly simple fix: take a 5 inch flat head screw driver and as you look into the slot where the #1 handle goes, you will see a wheel mechanism that it is connected too. to the left of that wheel, you will see a hammer mechanism with a cord attached to it. all you have to do is carefully push the lever with the screw driver while gently lifting up on the handle.
Hope this helps!
My 2004 Chevy suburban "battery not charging" indicator light keeps coming on. AAA just put in a new battery
If the battery isn`t the problem, make sure that the drive belts ate properly tightened.
If they are, check and clean the cables and terminals that connect to the battery. When looking at the cables, look GOOD. The cable may be corroded inside the insulation.
Also check the engine ground and make sure the alternator is also well grounded. Be sure to check the red output wire is not shorting.
Be sure that the red positive cable is not shorting. You may aven we interested in removing the alternator and having it checked for internal problems.
Front wheel bearing
Wheel bearing can be a big job without the correct tools. Better to pay a good mechanic.
Assuming your Burb is a 4X4, My first suggestion is get ALL of your wheels and tyres checked. Make sure they are inflated to the correct pressure, the tyres aren't damaged or badly worn and they are all balanced.
Next, jack up the car and REST IT ON AXLE STANDS. Your going to be shaking the car around!
DON'T JUST USE A JACK!!! It will fall off!
Once the wheels are off the ground, Spin the wheel by hand with a bit of force and listen to the wheel. A bad bearing will produce a 'gritty' sound. A brake disc noise will have more of a 'ring' to it.
Grab the wheel top and bottom, and push and pull in a rocking action. Do the same at the left and right positions. If you feel movement or here a 'clonk' noise get the whole suspension checked by a good mechanic. The above test shows if there's any play in the ball joints as well.
I would also suggest you get the drive shaft CV joints checked. Worn ones make noise when cornering.
Hard starting
Get the codes pulled. That will tell you what is wrong.
