another DBS attack yesterday!!!!
Had the DBS reflash done a few weeks ago, said I would commit, when and if something happened Have been parking with NO TENDER ON, to test out the reflash. Car has been driven at least every 2 days, with enough mileage to do a good recharge.
Went to start the car Sunday, had only been sitting 2 days. Another DBS attack (#5)
Put on the trusty charger and filled the battery back up again
On Monday morning:
Decided to say fu** it and go get another car, but decided I would give one last chance to the dealership (lots of 07s around to find what I want).
Most on here that had the reflash had good results, so I wondered why me?
Went pack to dealer and talked (nicely I may add) to the SA. Told him this was the last straw and no matter what happens I want a new battery. Got a bit of inspiration and asked him to get the # of the reflash procedure that was done as I wanted to see if it matched the one that is on the forum. He checked and sure-enough they did the door module one. ***OhVay.***
Pulled their best mechanic off what he was doing and had him take my car right into shop.
I came in with him. .the mechanic was a decent dude and said sorry, but another fellow there did the first reflash He then did the RIGHT REFLASH and tested my battery AGAIN with me looking over his shoulder... The battery STILL tests out OK, I saw the meter... They will not replace the battery because they state GM will not allow payment if it meets certain criteria. Ok I can live with the battery news, as I probably would have gotten a new battery for the start of the 08 driving season anyway. GM batteries are junk and after 3 years I do not trust them. I will only drive in good weather, (car away for 5 -6 months each winter) so it should be all right. If my DBS problem is finely fixed I will be a happy camper
Let’s see what happens in future. Hopefully the next thread I start will be at the end of the season saying all is well!!!!

Just got back from getting the reprogram. The sheet from the dealer says - Reprogram for battery rundown condition code 11D10. Did I get the right flash??? I did give them the sheet with the PIC #4188B information.
