In this video I go over how to add an additional electrical ground wire to your Camaro. Doing this according to the forums this can help alleviate the Camaro's Hot Starting issue, as well as other dash electrical issues.

I recently helped a friend diagnose his 2010 Camaro SS for a primary/ secondary ignition coil G fault. He has also been experiencing all these other problems in this video and adding another ground wire solved a lot of the issues, however, here is something else that we found. On the main ground cable that comes from the passenger side to the front of the engine block, there is a metal bracket that holds the wiring harness. Over time, this bracket rubs into the wiring harness eventually cutting into the wires which was causing our problem. Check this bracket and see if its cutting into your wiring harness. We took the bracket off and covered it with electrical tape to help. Id probably recommend using a plastic bracket if you can find something like that.

Just ordered a 1 gauge ground cable. I will try this. I had an issue last week when I started the car after coming out of the gym and all the dash lights didn't come on for about 10 seconds. It's the only time it's happened since I bought the car last October. Then I remembered your video I scrolled over the other day. I hope this takes care of it ever happening again. 2018 SS 1le with 32,500mi. Thanks for the video...

U SCROLLED OVER!!! HAHA Jk man! Hopefully this does help. I would check all your grounds connections as well. Couple on back of cylinder heads. And check couple in trunk by battery. The added cable will only help and it's cheap insurance that their is adequate cable size.

Also i got my led headlight bulbs replaced and the headlights have rgb but only one side works properly with the rgb the other one is completely shut. Id it electrical failure in the headlights or the car itself

Ok here we go. I bought my 2018 2SS about 2 years ago it was used and only had 4K miles on it. The 8 speed trans had a shudder to it. I’ve had this same issue with my GMC Canyon. GM/Chevy has final come up with a fix for it and it works. So I took it in for The fix. About a week later I go to start my car and it started but not at first. Took it to the dealer they said everything was fine. So I bought a battery tender and leave it on when not drive. Car isn’t my daily. I then started smelling antifreeze only when the A/C is on. Took it to the dealer twice they pressure tested nothing. tested the oil to see if there’s antifreeze in it nope. Checked the heater core nothing. No leaks. No lose of coolant. Yesterday I was driving it and pulled in and the tac start jumping up and down. Engine wasnt reviving. So I found this channel and just installed the cable. Test drove it and knock on wood tac stop jumping. Hopefully the antifreeze smell goes away now.

I regret getting a camaro. I have only 20,000 miles on my 2020 and the battery saver active light keeps coming on. Installed a new battery just 11 months ago. Makes no sense. Car won't even start, i hear one click and then boom nothing. Won't turn on. It was working a week or two ago, would crank up and then when i drove it- parked and tried to turn the car on again it would not start. Let it sit for an hour and a half and it turned on again. Now it wont turn on at all. Battery dies completely and then works again hours later but car still won't start.

Sounds like u have a parasitic draw on the battery. If my car sits for 2 weeks without driving battery is low as well. I keep trickle charger on it a lot. But if yours is draining fast then u have a draw on it. Led taillights did this in the past cause they don't shut off.
