@checkenginechuckllc: I know.. it’s a long one, and I tried to cut it down but I really couldn’t leave any info of the pathway on this one. 2022 #gmc savanna. Called in because the starter wouldn’t crank until you held the key in the crank position for 3-5 seconds. #b1380 #nostart #bcm #mobilemechanic
Just sell them a power probe and leave it hooked up. That's a repair

That’s a battery isolator, they’re supposed to be tied to ignition switch only to connect and disconnect the batteries on startup. But it’s supposed to be ignition relay not the ignition BCM wire 😭

a 22 with ONLY 57K on it??? that's like 14,000 miles a year. I've always heard 10k is a lot.

I absolutely love this diag procedure. Shows that it takes a lot more than reading a code and throwing parts at something! Good find!

Why would someone think using the ignition accessory to directly activate that big of a relay was a good idea?!?! oh yeah, they didn't think

Battery isolator and looks like they were using ignition signal to isolate the audio/pump which ever when they would start the truck

That’s why you don’t just tap the power wires anywhere you feel like it on a vehicle

Read up why we use flyback diodes on relays, that's what caused that solenoid relay to nuke the bcm.

That’s a battery isolator behind the seat. The wire is the exciter. Likely too much draw on that circuit.

capacitor for either a stereo (amp or inverter) someone tapped the wrong wire lol

Looks like a relay for a power inverter maybe to power it when the engine is on and switch off when van is off.
