Why does my Avalanche keep cranking the starter?
Why does my Avalanche keep cranking the starter?
Yes if by the start position you mean the position the key is in when the starter is cranking. I do not know how long it would keep cranking because I quickly move the key back out of concern it might damage the starter or something else. The frustrating thing is it only does it SOMETIMES and it has never done it yet when a mechanic has tried it.
Where can I get a new starter for my Avalanche?
Before you pay someone a chunk of change to tear apart the column, go to the parts store and get a new starter relay and try that. It’s located in the power distribution center in the engine compartment. Pete Peters: Thanks for the help. I replaced the starter relay and it looks like that was the problem.
How does the ghost start work on a GM Avalanche?
The “ghost start” the literature is referring to is the normal way most late model GM vehicles behave. If you cold start one of these vehicles, you can literally tap the key to “start” for a half second and release it, and the starter will continue cranking until the engine starts. My sister’s Grand Am does the same thing.
What happens when you let go of the key on an avalanche?
When one goes to start the engine it continues cranking (sometimes) after the engine starts and you let go of the key . Sometimes it only does it momentarily; sometimes you have to manually bring the key back so it stops cranking.
