Some one help...PLEASE.
My Bravada has a rash of electrical problems and 3 dealers cant find the problem.
The interior lights flicker (and click) the power seats and power locks
work sometimes and dont work sometimes, and every now and then (1x per every 6mths) the car dies when trying to start it and i mean dead! no click or anything. If we dont drive the car for more than 2-3 days we know it will be dead when we try to start it.
The closest we have come to fixing the problem was when a place said you cant put an off name battery in this car, he put a AC DElco and it everything worked great for 5 mths, now its back to the same.
Other than electrical its a great car and I have found does well off road and in the snow.
Anyone else ever have this happen or know what to fix, I've already spent few thousand on this

There has been reports of the insulation on the passenger electric seat wires wearing through and going to ground the affects the door locks, windows and interior lights since they're on the same module.
Your dying motor is likely still a battery issue, the pos. cable may be getting loose either at the battery or even the starter. The neg. cable can loose at the battery or where it grounds on the motor.

Definitely does sound like a bad ground somewhere. I hadn't heard of the passenger seat wiring issue - maybe that's why mine don't work. Haven't worried about it since I never sit over there.
