I see in post #14 the ground wires are tight, but you do not indicate they are clean! Did you take them apart and clean any corrosion off then tighten them back up , preferably with a little dielectric grease.
I watched the video , seems like a loose or broken wire , the multiple warning lights on the dash board, also indicate a low voltage battery issue, anything under 12.4 volts will cause this type of problem, and or a dead cell or 2 in the battery.

We bought a brand new battery .. same result .. dashboard sitll going crazy and dashlight coming on and off like security, brake, with a text message to check ESC appearing across the dashboard.

He starting to think it the BCM but without Tech2 tools, he couldn't confirm it. He said his shop cost me an arm and leg to scan it due to the value of the HHR so I am thinking of getting something like this
to scan it and if it shown to be bad then get another one from junk yard and a subscription to get the firmware to flash it myself.
But he is puzzled why dashboard kept saying service ESC so he couldn't pinpoint the issue since he doesn't own the shop or the tools to scan it with. He just work for them.

The service ESC notice can also be from a short in the fuse box , have you inspected the under hood fuse box for loose halves, bent pins , a stray strand of wire from an add on?

Yeah, in several post back. I explained that I took the fuse box apart and also disconnected all the connectors on ESC and BCM too then use an electronic spray cleaner to clean all the connectors. It didn't solve the issue.
We are still driving around in it everyday I guess you were call it limp mode when it kick into that mode and out. Money is tight and local mechanics doesn't want to touch it so meaning only dealership would be willing to look at it which mean $$$$$$$
