Hello thank you for allowing me to join,
2006 HHR 2.2L Flickering dash lights no crank no start checked fuses relays we’re good cleaned battery connections next to fuse box, cleaned ground next to battery installed new battery installed ,new starter grounded TCM to top of strut, dash lights do not flicker but I do have a break warning light on dash,still no crank no start, mind you it was -45* out at the time, I read in a form on this site to check ground by the rad,and clean connection on the TCM and put Dialac Greece , I have also ordered a new key and phob seeing I only had the one key also going to try starting with the hood closed.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you have a good day 👋

 

to the forums!

Crank down on the 4 bolts inside the underhood fuse block. Get the 2 halves to seat together.

 

Okay I’ll try that tomorrow snowing to much right now

 

You need to reef on those to the point you think you will break them.

 

Okay I’ll try that tomorrow snowing to much right now tried starting with the hood closed checked all doors were closed still did not start clean the bolt next to the red the ground bolt little corrosion on the wires that we need the bolt was clean, but cleaned it anyways Going to try cleaning the TCM connections with a nylon brush and is the grease you put on battery posts the correct type of grease. It was like four dollars for a little package.

 

I’m a little worried to try cranking down on the bolt today very cold or would it matter?

 

Those four 7 mm head bolts if you hear a click whilst tightening their not tight enough .

 

but yes it is now on my list

 

I will definitely listen for the click

 

Thank you all for the advice so far was at my wits end ,I will update tomorrow, What was the name of the geese for the contacts on the TCM?
