WARNING! anytime you disconnect anything electrical on a H3 there is a good chance your going to have significant unrelated problems.
I have 2 Hummers and everytime i disconnect the battery the drivers side door locks/window and door locks will become inoperable. Sometimes im able to reset them by methods i found in this forum and sometimes it doesn't work and resets itself after a week.
Also, when i cleaned my throttle body using this advice i found here my throttle body and pedal got out of sync and my traction stabilizer failed and im losing power. Still havent found a fix after replacing all fuses/breakers and trying to clear codes. Upon trying to remedy the issue i broke the plastic line beneath the throttle body sensor. These maintenance tips are very vague even for seasoned veterans like myself. i hope u have an extended warranty

Exclamation throttle body cleaning

WARNING! anytime you disconnect anything electrical on a H3 there is a good chance your going to have significant unrelated electrical problems.

Still haven't found a fix after replacing all fuses/breakers and trying to clear codes. Upon trying to remedy the issue i broke the plastic line beneath the throttle body sensor-it's fragile and you can only get it from a dealer. These maintenance tips are very vague even for seasoned veterans like myself. i hope u have an extended warranty.
The good thing is that my motor has never ran better

FYI, The "Lonely Forum Troll" is this forums' Super Moderator and one of the world's foremost experts on the Hummer H3. I am surprised you did not run across some of his posts during your searches. I did notice you recently joined. Welcome

Default old/new information useful

when I check in daily and often see zero activity in 24 hours often, I welcome any discussion of useful info and often the old post is a good lead in. I really don't see the difference in a new post exactly like the old one. im also betting the advertizers welcome anything that creats interest.


would it be better to go 24 hours with nothing to read??
of course im aware of what my dad used to say,"the boss isn't always right but the boss is always the boss!!"

Oh GREAT SUPER MODERATOR,
Please forgive me for insult. I am but a weary junior member. I beg that you explain my humble question as to why every time i disconnect my battery that my power door locks become inoperable??? I am on my knees for your Worlds foremost expert advice.I am but an ignorant enthusiast
