Shifter cable slipped off i put back on Mechanic's Assistant: Does the vehicle have a fuse that enables or disables the shifter? Now the battery voltage drops when Ac is turned on to 12.2 from 14.2 Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2009 chevy suburban ltz 5.3 Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your vehicle yourself? What have you tried so far? I just put the shifter back on Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? If there is correlation between the two issues

shifter popped off i put it back in in correct position. The batter died because i could not take the key outBattery\*i jumped it and as im driving now the Ac turns on the my battery voltage drops dramitcallyFrom 14.2 to 12.0 almost
Automotive Expert
How old is the battery? Is it more than 3 years old? WIll it pass a load test if checked at a local auto parts store?

The original battery is 2 months oldI put in one from my sand rail and it started and did the same thing voltage dropped after ac kicked on but when off its at 14.3Alternator passed at autozone
Automotive Expert
Ok we are going in weird directions here, the original post pointed to a problem with the shifter cable and it not moving??

Ive read that the shifter cable on the tran when bad, can cause this issue which i dont understand.I never had battery problem till the shifter slipped of its connection
Automotive Expert
I can see the shift cable popping off, the cable end grommet can fail over time. How old is the battery that is in the truck now from the sand rail? It has 14 volts not running? Max a battery should have is 12.6 maybe 13 volts with the key off.

When its at idle with no Ac on volts needle is at 14 give or take when ac is kicked on its down around 11 12ishCan a 2 month battery go bad if i killed it dead a few times?
Automotive Expert
Yes it can cause a bad cell issue in the battery.

I just see the same problem happening with 3 year old battery vs the 2 month old battery as far as voltage drop when Ac is kicked onWould bad cell cause stabilitrak light
Automotive Expert
The throttle body may need to be cleaned, if the base idle is too low when the voltage is low, the throttle body may not raise the idle speed enough. If you raise the idle speed the voltage should come up. You need to run a full diagnostic on all modules to check for that issue with the stabilitrak system.

Also heat in my area is 120
Automotive Expert
The pcm controls the charging system and the idle speed. A full diagnostic check should be done to see if there are low voltage codes or a problem with the throttle body.

while driving if ac is off the voltage heads right back to normalIf im driving and ac is on and i pick up speed needle does not move back up but when i shut off it does.
Automotive Expert
The ac is a load on the [engine](/topics-engine-chevy/), run a full diagnostic check on the vehicle, a shop will probably need to do that for you.

Ok thanks

I mean its hard to diagnose over the net so yes i got what i asked for
Automotive Expert
Understood, a shop would be best to check the whole system over and give you a straight answer on the charging system dropping out when the ac is on and abs system for the stabilitrak, that would require a scan tool check.
