Well my car has been doing a litttle thing of its own for the past wek. Either the radio, gauges, or lights would cut out for a split second. well yesterday the f'in motor cuts out and never starts again. took it to my local chevy dealership, and they cant figure out whats wrong with it. they guy at the desk said its the fuse box? i said how sure are you, he said maybe 25 %. Any one else have his problem. So far i have had nothing but trouble with this balt i hate this car.

sounds like some kinda electrical problem or short

Coblasts

This may help

There is a info bulletin on a splice under the driver side seat that can cause all those issues if water (salt water is even worse)gets into it and shorts to ground..

#PIC5073A: Various Electrical Concerns
Condition/Concern:
Some customer may comment on various electrical related issues: SIR light, IP lights flicker / Inop, parking lamps flicker / Inop, tail lamp dim / Inop, trunk open light, radio Inop, door lock Inop, no start, no crank.

One possible area to contribute to this could be the interior wiring at S361 splice. Inspect splice S361, the parking lamp circuit located in the body harness under the drivers seat, for any issues.

Remove the driver's seat from the vehicle. Then remove the driver's door opening carpet retainer. Now peel back the carpet to about the "B" pillar and inspect the wires. If they are damaged, repair splice S361 and other wires, including shrink-wrap to protect against moisture. If there is excessive moisture (pooled up water) then also make sure you water-test the vehicle.
