When i turn the ign switch on jus to listen to the radio, the battery light stays on in dash and the door and odometer light stays on, is this normal for this model?

 

[BlizzardX23]

Yes...just about every car in the world does that

how can you delete a post..... cant find it for some reason

 

[FUNKIE2]

No my switch dont go back, i turn it once to the front

 

[BlizzardX23]

Forward...our trucks ignitions dont turn backwards (at least not the Denalis)..but I'd figure all our SUVs have the same ignition?

1 forward to turn on radio with *ding ding ding ding ..etc...*
2 forward to turn on all accessories with only a couple *dings* then it stops
3 forward to crank

The dings are of course only while door is open

your ignition key wont turn backwards? are you sure?
My tahoe ignition will go back one click and that turns on radio and power windows (and maybe some other stuff but I havent noticed anything else that could come on)

 

[BlizzardX23]

Mine doesnt either...the 1 forward is equivalent to other vehicles 1 backward

 

[FUNKIE2]

It dont turn backwards, i want to know why the battery light stays n dash

I played radio, bout an hour and it killed the battery, its a stock radio, the battery light makes me think something else is going on. I only had denali a month i"m still learning

The battery light stays on to let you know that the battery is in USE.

 

[FUNKIE2]

OK, Appreciate it, just wanted to make sure it was normal

Yup,mines the same way. If the stock radio killed your battery after an hour it may be time for a new battery.

battery light comes on when you are in ACC mode.

if it is staying on, your ignition switch might be failed.

Antime you put the key in and turn it, the Battery light comes on
