I don’t believe it has any prior water damage..
I may try having the computer flashed..

the ODO is also only reading that the car has 54 miles on it??
The rear red wire is for the power steering. Make sure you have tightened the bolts for the fuse block halves completely. They seem to get tight, but they may need to be turned some more.

I hope it was a great deal since it doesn't run and has no electrical system. it is illegal to sell a car with a broken Odometer, which leads me to ask; was this a stolen car? Got a title?. That is my definition of a POS.
Exactly why do you think flashing any of the computers would help? Do you have free access to Tis2web and a scanner?
The only thing that stands out to me is the code for the current sensor. Kind of like somebody hooked the battery up backwards.
The B3006 02 means the hood ajar switch is shorted to ground. That is actually 2 switches, 1 is "hood open" the other is "hood not closed"; when one is in the open state the other should be in the opposite state; if both are low then 02 if both are high then 01.

The relays being stuck adds credence to polarity problems since most of them are triggered by a ground signal.

also the rear door pop buttons and rear hatch buttons wont work
Running lights are not on the flasher circuit. So are the running lights flashing, or just all the turn signal bulbs? Is it 24/7, or only with the key on? Same with headlights, 24/7?

When you are talking about buttons not working, do you mean on the fob, or the buttons in the car? Both?

it’s all tightened up good.. I took it all apart and cleaned everything to make sure it has good contact

it actually runs great.. just has the few electrical issues that I’m sure will be sorted..

its does have a clean title and is a 1 owner car.. they just used it as a work vehicle.

yes I do have access to have the car scanned and flashed for free

ill check the hood switch or change it out to see if that clears at least one thing out.

I mentioned the hood switch because several other systems are demonstrating short to ground symptoms, like somebody hooked the battery up backwards or somehow reversed polarity.

1 owner car... So did you buy it from the original owner, or a used car lot? I guess it doesn't matter, either one could have done some hack work on it. If original owner, maybe could give some history. Accident, ran over debris in road, etc.

B3950 02 means the left rear turn signal is shorted to ground, meaning that it is feeding B+ to the ground plane. Are there any LED lights involved?
Under your list of current codes none of the U and C codes exist in a HHR, but they all site a short All of the others call for some short circuit or wrong voltage.

You should check fuse #24 on the BCM. That is a possible cause for B1517, that and a bad charging system.

ill take sometime tomorrow to look into these things.


so far thank you everyone for all the help!!
