Running the A/C results in the positive battery cable being too hot to touch; the battery as a result, also becomes abnormally hot, with the Captiva acting like the battery is dead and the vehicle being unable to run i. E. , dead battery; and ceasing to run in the middle of operation. The vehicle has been in the shop several times and the mechanics haven't been able to find anything that would be the cause of it. On the last visit, one of the mechanics pulled a fuse from the engine fuse box and I'm pretty sure it was the ECM fuse. Since then, it hasn't run correctly at all, after the mechanics… Read complete

I have been having issues lately with my car and the battery terminals. I try to start my car and it will click a few times, doesn't start, keys get locked, pop the hood, wiggle the positive terminal and my cars power starts working again. I've taken the battery out and gotten a new one as well since the battery was drained, cleaned the terminal cables and the posts. It works a few times and starts acting up again. Any clues as to what the heck is happening?

Engine oil pressure low n battery warning

I replaced the alternator due to the other one being burned out. Unfortunately, when installing the battery, terminals were swapped and it short circuited. Vehicle couldn't start at first, but after tinkering with the fuse box, I was able to get the car to start but there instrument cluster does not read any information only one light for the steering comes on and off once the car starts. What can I do to get it back on?
Secondly, where can I locate the alternator fuse? I'd like to know if it's just the fuse that's burnt out or I'd need to replace/repair the alternator. Thanks in advance.

It jerks when going up hill at highway speeds. Disconnected battery and connected it again. Solved problem but it will come back.

My clutch is too soft and does not change gears now does not start but the battery is new

Fails to start but battery is new

Had a glow plug fault code for plug 1 and 3. Changed to full new set, however, after putting all the things back. I think there is air trapped in the metal fuel pipes that come from the common rail to the injectors. The car turns but splutters and jolts. After trying to get it to fire for 10 minuites, the battery was flat. Now recharging to try again tomorrow. Any tips or ideas on what the issue is ?
Below are the pipes i think have the air trapped in.
And a picture of my engine overhead too.
When we tried to start it after new plugs after a few minuites a small amount of smoke started to come from the engine area.

I stopped using my Captiva during Covid and it has stayed on the front lawn for 4 years. With a new battery it started first time, but it is leaking engine oil when the engine is running.
Most likely this is head gaskets or something but I am reluctant to pay for a major repair if I am going to spend more than the car is worth.
What should I do?

Grounded main fuse for battery even unplug all fuses the ground remain.

Car drives okay then cuts out and want start had a new battery and alternator fitted as I got told it could be that as the battery light come out put a new battery on went out and the cut out again any idea on what it could be

Today I try to get into my car but I found that it wasn’t possible to get it open. I’ve changed the battery of my remote control but still I’m unable to open it. Any suggestions?

I have had a diagnostic run on the body control module, the battery replaced and the tracking system removed and the problem persists. When unlocking or locking the vehicle or switching on the head lights the window washer motor comes on. In such cases the hooter stops working and the windshield wipers if in use will also stop when the head lights are turned on
