Hey guys, sorry i havnt been around lately or for years lol but have been dealing with a lot of personal problems. Anyways heres the car problem, the car has been sitting since december, i started it once last month and today when i went to start it i got a msg on the dic says charging system failure, tc off, abs off, etc. The battery is at 12-14 volts and i changed one of the post connections hoping that was it but with no luck. Any ideas? I'm getting very close to selling this thing even tho its paid off and i love it but ****.

All I can say is any time I get those messages it has always been the battery. I store the car in the winter so I've had to charge it many times. Maybe the voltage is too low when you go to start.

make sure both terminals are good and extremely tight.if i can be moved with your hand or off even with a good amount of force it isnt tight enough. just keep running and drive around and see if the **** will work itself out

This happens to me everytime I let the car sit for more the 3 weeks. I have learned to disconnect the battery when parked for extended periods of time. I'll even pull the battery and place it on wood.

I disconnect the battery all the time when it sits but maybe its not holding the charge????? I'll have it hooked up to the charger check the voltage usually 13v then i hook it up to the car and it drops within seconds to 10-11v.

your battery has a dead cell. you need to replace it.

Yup. Had it happen to a 2 yr old Delco. Replaced under warranty.

I just had my alternator replaced and it had the battery charging system failure code in my DIC. Warranty replaced it for a $100 deductible.
