The terminals on the battery itself or the terminals on the battery cable? I will check the battery terminal when I get home from work or the terminal near fuse box>
I already tried three different batteries on the HHR and it's not the battery. I wish it was! would be so easy fix!

The fan should come on at about 219F or when the AC compressor is running, it only runs after shutdown if the temp is above 240F. Try pulling fuse #24 on the BCM to turn OnStar off, there is a possibility it is malfunctioning. Have you triple checked the battery connections? They tend to break easily, seem tight but you can twist by hand (bad).
Connect a Ohm meter between pins 14 & 6 on the OBD connector, it should read about 60 Ohms. There are several good youtube "diagnosing canbus" videos.
This guy finds that the OnStar unit (VCIM) is the problem, then sort of tells how to get OnStar completely out. You have to splice the 2 LAN wires together.

The small one at the rear is the power steering, The front one should have 2 wires one from the battery and the other to the starter/alternator.
The security light goes on when the voltage gets too low. Has anyone messed around with the dashboard? I am starting to think it is the dash connector. Make sure the fuses on the BCM are seated correctly, especially #7 & 16.

Both have no fuses and the fuse list said both are empty
my fingers are pointing to 7 and 16
