Following up here on my issue. I originally just pulled the fuse to check if it was blown and left it out for ~an hour, didn't bend the prongs, and the issue remained. Last week someone mentioned resetting the system, and I planned to do that this past weekend. We had been out of town for a week and I only drove the truck a couple times the prior week, so it sat for around 12 days. Came home Saturday night and was going to pull out of the garage and the truck was dead. No lights, no clicks, no nothing. I used jumper cables and a trickle charger, but neither helped. My dad brought over a jumper pack and was able to get it started - PLUS, the fwd collision alert was gone now.
I let it run for like 30 min, which seems to have been enough to give it some juice back and have now been able to start/drive it normally. The light has stayed off all week and I've been able to use auto dim brights and lane keep assist like normal.
I also emailed GM Customer Service who posts their offer to help, which resulted in them saying to take it to my dealer - so yeah. Just thought it was worth a try lol.
