2016 chevey traverse wont start only with jumper cables

Battery is dying, but can still provide enough power for the dash lights

Battery is weak? Have it load tested. You could also put a voltmeter on it while cranking and see how low the volts go. Below 10 volts...replace battery

With this vehicle you probably will need a power saver while changing out the battery so you do not lose all your engine computer resets. This is a $100 charge at a dealership to reset your computer after the battery dies or is replaced.

It's officially called a memory saver

get the multi meter and do the tests , you need one if you plan on doing your own repairs

Beatupchevy, when replying to these questions, you never know who you are talking to so I don't want to get too technical. I wait till they ask. Good example, I got too technical with someone yesterday and It turned out to be an 86 year old grandmother who asked me what YouTube was and how to get it. I agree with you I like teaching others how to save money in this no forgiving and fraudulous industry. It makes me mad when someone takes advantage of others!!! In my sphere of influence, I fix cars, homes and appliances free to family, church members, friends and colleagues. This is how much I can't stand people getting shafted.

are you the board moderator ?

I have that same problem. I could drive the car for a while then stop n try to start it back up n it wont start. What could b the problem for it. Plz lmk
