    TPMS

    Hi guys, Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I have an 06 Denali with the 6.0L. Recently i had new tires and all new tire monitors put. When the technician tries to program the monitors he get's nothing, his tools displays "Sensor not found". Any ideas? Thanks again, Phil

    Unknown battery drain

    This works but I don't think a test light is the tool of choice, I'd use an amp-meter. There is always a drain on the battery for things like the security system and radio/stereo presets so the test light will always be light albeit dim. Am Amp-meter will show you the actual drain amount.

    I just shared the readings i got. Not saying the draw from the radio and radio amp is acceptable at all.

    2006 Yukon Denali Parasitic Battery Drain

    Been fighting this for about 2 months.. Battery holds up for about 6-8 hours while sitting at work, 9 or more hours sitting over night and the battery is dead enough it won't start the truck. Replaced starter, no help, pulled alternator and had it tested and it is good and meets all standards...
