Chevy Tahoe Electrical Problems

Q. Sir, The issue I am having is that when cutting the engine off, I will lose all electrical power. No lights, no gauges, nothing. I am sure that this is a relay or a module problem, because the power returns a quickly as it left. Do you have any thoughts on the matter?

Thanks,
Dale

Chevy Tahoe Electrical Problems

A. Your question/problem is not very clear. I'll give you some tips. Check the battery and it's cables first. These used to leak acid out the positive terminal and make a bad connection at the battery. Your battery is probably not original but if the orig. original there could be corrosion on the terminal. They also had ignition switch problems as well.
