R won't work
Hi Dadeow,
I would first like to pay homage to ED in FL, Dicktator, Dragon2U, and all others who helped with the library. And me with my troubles.
This one source is UNMATCHABLE in it's literature,photos and how to's.
I just bought my 05 R a few weeks back. Immediately I began to experience problems. While waiting for my tow I had time to visit the forum and trouble shoot.
It seems our cars have some inherent troubles which Chevrolet will not recognize. Chevy says ,"not enough of the cars were produced to create bulletins for repair" , hence the UNMATCHABLE LIBRARY !
The one true "car stopper" is the fuse box. I do not know if this is your problem. It was mine , within the first week of driving my R.
You and I have some similar issues tho. Dash lites. My dash lites were not working properly , yet , I did not even know it. (New car to me).
Once I followed info in the Library and help from Dicktator,EDinFL,and Dragon2U, I was able to repair my fuse box , (a $800-$900item) for few bucks, some time ,patience,know how,and commonsense. (glasses)
The bad wire spoken about by Ed and repaired by him , if you send the box, is a car stopper. I also found other wires in my fuse box , which were corroded beyond use,had too many bends (creating heat) and incorrect routing from the factory. Chevy will happily sell you a new box,
$900 , with bad wires. Why waste the time.
With Ed's help , I changed out the "bad wire" car stopper, and 3 more wires which I felt were also bad. In my opinion, these 4 were, for sure, my troubles.
My R is now running Great ! with dash lites I did not see before???
And BEST of all is not QUITTING UNEXPECTEDLY like my old Apple used to.
The 3 wires I replaced , specifically the corroded wire,could have had something to do with it. And the 4th wire (Ed's Bad Wire ) for sure had all to do with it, car stopper!
I would not wait to open the Fuse box, for an inspection, if you are up to it. I had previously posted pics of wires I recently replaced. I have reposted them for you,here. For Ed's wire , see the library. And as Ed pointed out , the fuse box has two sides ,once split open.
Good Luck.
AND Many Many Thanks to the guys on this site
BTW I did not know the site was not work badly ? Seems ok to me.
Sincerely,
Chris
