Ground Cable ACdelco 22846471
Positive Cable ACdelco 22850357 this is the cable that routes from the battery located on the passenger side all the way to the main fuse box.
This problem seems to be a common problem with Chevrolet Motors. Including but not limited to Tahoe, Denali, Avalanche and much more.

why do they make things just ready to break nowadays?? I mean seriously, my Uplander has more problems with connectors than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest! Its like they design failure into in-needed shit! Very frustrating!
Thank you so much this will save me a lot of money.
I soldered the end of my negative cable and ran a 6 gauge wire from the body bolt on top of that brace next to the battery down to the frame and connected the other end to the wedge clamp bolt on the neg terminal.
I brought my Escalade to the dealer who said they never heard of the issue. I said "Really!?! I only found thousands of issues on-line". Worthless. Anyway, thanks for this, it helps!
I have GMC it is good to know encase thanks
Had same exact symtoms on an 08 escalade. I replaced the negative battery cable fixed all problems. It looked like the small lead going to the frame was a little carroded and there was not a good connection there. Thanks for the help great video.
i soldiered my negative at to top battery connect crimp. (as he showed) works ok now.
Or a quick fix a big fat screw into that same negative wire crimp.
yeah this helps alot of mexican soccer moms, and sissy fags trying to look badass in a gravel lot escalade, fuck this
that setup is gay
thank you my mom Escalade wouldn't tart until i watched this and i wiggled the screw and it started beeping and the finally it came on
Hey got the part from RockAuto because and replaced it so far so good I did a video on it as well. thanks for the info i hope my video will help as well as yours.
Cheers!
awesome thanks for the info my 2009 Denali has the "Dead" till you wiggle issue, ordered the OEM part from RockAuto. will get on it and hopefully is works
I have the exact same problem with my 2008 Escalade. It is interesting that I do the exact same thing to get the vehicle running. I popped the hood, wiggled the ground cable while pressing the button on my remote and that always worked. So to day I googled "Escalade loosing ground connection" and found your video. Thanks for confirming my suspicions and for your excellent video on how to fix the problem! The big question is "Why didn't the Cadillac mechanics find the problem". This vehicle has been looked at by GM mechanics several times and they couldn't figure out why it was happening. Thanks again!
Thanks, that really helped !
Had the same issue with my 2009 GMC Denali, we replaced the negative and positive cables and problem has not come back
Hi Daniel. I am having same issue. Any way we can contact by email?
Just replacing the (-) battery terminal lug was corrected the Total Power Loss for my 07 Silverado. When it would happen I could just jiggle the end of the cable at the battery to restore power.
Didn't see the logic in buying another OEM cable to go bad, just a $10 fitting at AutoZone. I just used a 12V test light. I had a bright light from post to post on the battery. But I could barely get the lamp to light if I went to the ground post on the engine to the (+) terminal.
I ran a jumper from the (-) battery terminal to the ground post on the engine. Immediately got power back.
