Some Chevrolet Uplander owners report experiencing issues such as the battery light illuminating and the vehicle failing to start even after replacing the battery and fuse. These problems are often linked to a faulty alternator, which is a common cause of the battery light activation. Additionally, owners may encounter issues due to damaged wires, corrosion on electrical connectors or battery terminals, bad ground connections, or a slipping serpentine belt. Damaged battery cables can also prevent the Uplander from starting, and a malfunctioning starter motor may contribute to the vehicle not cranking. Symptoms of a dead battery, such as slow engine cranks, dim lights, flickering dashboard lights, and clicking noises, are frequently reported as well. It is recommended that owners have the alternator, battery cables, and starter motor inspected by a professional mechanic to accurately diagnose and resolve these issues.
