Could this be the battery at last?
Hey all!
I ran into an odd issue yesterday and am stuck with my 09 HHR LT not starting. I had a nice aftermarket radio installed and just sold it. While waiting for my new radio to come in the mail, I took out the sold one and replaced it with the factory stereo. I took out the GMS harness to adapt the new stereo and connected all the factory harnesses back to where they were originally.
After installing it, the car will not start and throws the Service Traction and Service ESC error and flickers when trying to start. I checked and double checked all my wiring to make sure I did not miss anything, and they are fine. As well, I tried disconnecting the battery for 30 minutes or so, to see if there was any computer confusion.
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks a lot for your time.

Welcome to the site, the OP hasn’t been back since Feb 2016, so let’s look into your issues
What year is your HHR
How old is your battery?
Any CEL codes?
What have you checked?
I’m thinking loose fuse box halves and or loose ground wires.
Also dying battery, alternator
These are a few of my favourite things to check and confirm.
