Hello everyone! I just moved to Michigan and bought an 05 Envoy from a friend for 800 bucks. Everything works great except quite often the dash lights up and the blower motor stops. Once I've seen all the guages besides speedo and tach go to zero. After a little research I found ground junction G102 was the most likely culprit. I pulled it out tonight and there was little to no corrosion or rust. I wire brushed both the metal connector and the bolt to make sure I wasn't missing anything. I slathered it all up & the threads with dielectric grease and put it back together with the same results. Nothing changed.
I'm 99.9% sure this has to be a ground issue with it's intermittency and multiple system involvement. I can confirm when the ABS light is lit up the ABS no longer works too. I've attached two pictures. The first is the dash with all the lights that are on when things aren't working (when they do work, only the CEL light & every once in a while the change engine oil and service 4WD light come on). The second is G102 after I cleaned it up.
Where should I start looking to next? Is it possible the corrosion is *inside* the plastic connector? Thanks for any advice!
