Control module or spark plug
Asked by Bakabaka01 Dec 16, 2023 at 09:49 PM about the 2014 Chevrolet Malibu 1LT FWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I'm wanting to know why when I try to start the car, the car is completely dead,
and when I jump it, it works fine and doesn't even seem like there's an issue with
the battery or alternator.
Added:
This has been an ongoing issue but it's these past few days the car would seem
completely dead when I'm not driving the car but no type of issues after I jump
the battery and turn on the ignition no drives just fine and no major visible
problems
BTW my car is a 2014 chevrolet malibu LT 2.5

Sounds like a bad battery. Have the vehicle tested by a shop that knows how to test this system. Not a parts store.

Make sure batt terminals are clean and tight , check applicable fuse tangs for tarnish

12/17/23 Update: Everything was checked and now I have to buy a battery control module
Sounds suspicious, was it killing the battery cause it was not shutting down during the exit protocol?

That's what we notice, they tested my battery and they also tested the auxiliary and there wasn't no issues, so they tested the terminal and there was nothing wrong with it, but then they tested the battery control module and that's where the issue lied within.

I’ve only seen one of those go bad and it was caused by reverse polarity among other electronics getting burned out.

They believed that it could be the Fuse Block Module considering when jumping out bypass the initial terminal for the positive
