My 07 Super Sport looks like this most of the time.

 

Nice ride.

Thanks for shareing.

 

What's wrong with it?

 

LOl Lou my thoughts too, I mean my hood is up most of the time because there is always something wrong and in need of repair. Nice Black Monte pretty clean girl you have for yourself. However a Red one would look much better parked there.

 

Do you have enough time? Intermittently the radio along with door and signal chimes will quit. When they due the battery will draw down to dead and after a jump things are ok again. SCV on the radio never works. When the issue comes up I have power on both sides the radio and amp fuses. The power ports in the center console are powerless for lack of better terms. The tire monitoring system is not working either. I've posted about it but not getting much help, must be a rare issue. I'm suspecting body control module.

 

Hi Rico,
Sorry to read about all your problems with your Monte...

How many miles on your Monte ? How many owners ?
How old is your battery ? Even new batteries can be bad !'

Is it throwing any codes ? If so, what are they ?
Do you have any mod's to your system ? like amp's etc ?
What mod's do you have ?

p.s. Just found the below in your profile
^
From your above statement it does sound like your Monte has been abused in the past ? : (

Please post as much infor as you can about your mystery problems & hopefully one of our expert tech member's can help...Good Luck

 

I just did a search for your other post. You have gotten couple replies and at least one response about testing the battery, but you have not replied to the last one.

STUMPMI suggested checking if the battery terminals have corrosion on them and age of the battery and last time it was tested.

I will also add, have you had the alternator tested? In many cases, you can drive the car to the parts store, if you have a fully charged battery, they can test the alternator on the car. Or you can pull the battery and the alternator and have them bench test them (best way to test them).

If the connections on the battery or to things such as the starter or a ground is badly corroded, the the wires are not moving the proper amount of electricity and/or intermittently braking connection.

When you drain a battery or the car has a very low battery, everything acts "funny". My Monte (driven summer only) would drain the battery in about 3 days of not driving it, oddly, sometimes I'd find the back up lights blinking when it was dead....Just enough juice left for the BCM to shout "look at me, I have a problem". It was passing battery/alt tests. I finally had the alt go bad (was making a foul odor), changed it, no problems since.

Hope that helps. I will post this in your other threads. Keep us updated so we can be of more help.

 

Finally had time to, or more like forced, to look at the Super Sport. As stated in the past I work out of town a lot and the end of this year has take up all of my free time. In hoping to use it for the Hollidays I found a dead battery. I replaced that and while doing so I found a bad cable end on the negative cables. fixed that and so far driving a few tanks of fuel threw it this Christmas week it looks to be acting right again. I refer to always loosing sound from the radio and chimes.

I think for the tms I will start now with the basics and see if I can get the wheel sensors to set themselves. I put my obdII on and find no codes. (SERVICE TIRE MONITOR SYSTEM) appears on the dash.
FRONT TIRES PSI
LEFT-- RIGHT--
REAR TIRES PSI
LEFT-- RIGHT--
Maybe now that I have a new battery and good connections this with set up correctly. I hope anyway. Thank you all for the help and sport to have taken so long to be back around. I think I have more problems yet to come, noisy lifters and think 2nd gear is weak. But one thing at a time.

 

My guess is going to be 2 bad tpms sensors. My reason for thinking so is after I put the system into identification mode and proceed to lower the psi of the left front I get nothing, no honk. moving to the right front the horn will honk in the first 5 seconds. moving to the right rear, horn honks in the first few seconds. Again on the left rear no reaction with psi dropping. Is it just coincidence that it's both on the left side of is there more to it?

 

Speaking of which, did you paint your tail lights? If you ever get rid of it, you can toss me your stock tail lights ^_^ ; <33
