ACDelco GM Genuine Parts 22846471 Negative Battery Cable

Original product direct fit

Good quality OEM cable that fits the application perfectly. I tend to recommend OEM cables as they fit properly, often have the correct hold downs or mounting points on them, and you know that they are the proper gauge and connection ends on them as opposed to a universal cable. As more vehicles are adding complex computer, anti everything sensors- lane departure, automatic braking, automatic cruise, etc., these devices do require a constant and consistent electrical feed and grounds. Changing the cables with the wrong ratings could affect these systems as the voltage drops or capacity of the replacement cables could introduce intermittent or inconsistent voltage readings which could certainly affect the performance of some systems. An excessively high resistance for example in a ground cable could very well cause computer problems with any number of vehicle systems. This cable is for a full size Chevy, which solved many issues with not only starting, but a whole bunch of subsystems, including ABS, traction control, door locks, etc. They all went crazy while driving, as the original cable had excessive corrosion and a very high resistance within the cable that you could not see. If you have a Tahoe, Suburban or Silverado that has electrical issues- dead battery, abs/traction lights, transmission shifting problems, door locks that seem to cycle for no reason, gauges going nuts, etc., -this might be your problem! Simply change your cables! This is know problem with many of these vehicles as the cables rot from inside, causing intermittent ground and excessive resistance, especially in snow country where road salt is utilized. If you have the dreaded no start, then other times it starts right up, dead battery on some occasions then fine on other, check and replace the cables. Since replacing, I have not had one issue with electrical systems, all warning lights are gone, and truck runs like new again.When it comes to electrical components, go with OEM parts as they are the right part that you know will function as designed. As more of these components are sourced overseas, the quality of many of these replacement parts has gone down. The OEM parts are spec'd by GM and even if made overseas, they have to meet the OEM specs to be branded as such. I recommend the OEM cables, even if they are a few dollars more. Good luck. Also there is a current sensor (small round device with plug on it) which is located on the ground cable on these vehicles-this OEM cable comes with a new one on it. Many of the aftermarket cables do not. Good luck.

There is a GM TSB issued on this ground cable for the gas powered GMT900s (Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon/Escalade/Silverado/Sierra). If you’re experiencing electrical issues I recommend changing this cable.

Truck was having starting issues which I thought was a dead battery. Ended up moving around my old wire one day when truck wouldn’t start. Lights came on and it started. Bad ground. Common issue. Replace with this and haven’t had an issue since. 5 stars. OEM build. And direct fit. Easy install. Value for your money

Many people have spent THOUSANDS at dealerships trying to get their trucks fixed. It's a very common issue (enough to easily be a recall) that Chevy trucks have electrical issues caused by the negative wire going bad after just a few years. It wasn't fun to install particularly in the front but I didn't remove anything just did it blind, and after jacking the truck up some it really wasn't that bad. Remember there are two wires connected to both ends, both with a slot holder so the wires go on tight and stay in place. All of the electrical issues the Yukon had are all fixed including all those mentioned in other reviews and countless threads online in addition to one I haven't seen mentioned which is that my truck would also start downshifting itself at whatever speed I was going, stepping all the way down to first gear. That was a nightmare. As soon as it started having electrical issues I immediately bought a new alternator because with my Chrysler vehicles that was also the problem. Here, it's simply this $50 wire and you can save yourself thousands by doing this yourself and staying faaaaaar away from dealerships who will tell you it's an array of things and you'll rack up thousands over multiple trips and it still wont be fixed.

What can I say? It is the ground cable with negative battery terminal for most 2007-2013 fullsize GM trucks. If like me and many others, you'd occasionally lose all power at random, or worse, this may do the trick for you. In my case, I blamed a bad new battery initially since my charging indicator gauge had been showing it'd been charging like crazy without adjusting or going into low charge eco mode for days on end. After it lost all power, when I went to clamp the battery charger lead on to the neg. battery terminal, the alarm went off since I unlocked the door before restoring power! Battery was not the issue. It seemed due to cold weather, it happened a few more times, each time the truck powered on from the smallest wiggle of the negative batt. terminal. It has been one month and no issues as of yet after replacement. I am planning on also replacing the positive cable, and starter solenoid cable as well eventually. But as of now, it is charging with normal behavior, driving and being reliable as ever again.Installation- fairly straightforward since you can see where your current one goes to. It is a bit tricky since it goes up front near or under the radiator it looks like. Obviously GM did that for a reason, but I improvised and ran the narrow end to another grounding point. Maybe someday I'll make it right, but for now it works great. Price is pretty fair too I think, 5 stars

My abs light and stability track light was coming on and car kept shutting off on me once I replace the negative wire it’s running great again. Thank you for an affordable price. This part is OEM it’s not from china it’s from Mexico just like original I removed. Thanks again
