Hey does anyone know what would cause the SKS buttons on my exterior door handles to stop working? It’s not because of key fob battery and I’ve tried both key fobs

New member. Please let me know there's an error with my post. I've found two security issues on my 2019 Silverado and wondering if I'm missing something before contacting Chevy. 1. I can start the truck as usual with keys in the vehicle, then place the keys outside the vehicle and drive away, miles away, turn off the engine and restart the truck, repeatedly. It only presents a problem when you turn the truck off AND open the door. Then, it will not restart. 2. If you find the truck unlocked and you do not have your key fob, there is no way to lock the truck. You can press the lock button but it immediately unlocks. Any help is appreciated. -
I am looking for a new dashcam as my current one is older and hitting the bricks. Has anyone tried a blackvue? Is it worth the $$$. I am looking at a blackvue which has 2 nice options, both have dual camera and a parking mode/setup which I can use my dual battery to do extended parking mode video/security. One for Trucks and with an external camera: https://www.blackvue.com/dr650s-2ch-truck/ a bit more pricey but will pair nicely with my canopy. Or a basic all interior one: https://www.blackvue.com/dr650s-2ch/ Does anyone have any other suggestions on a dual cam system or experience vs. just running 2 separate ones?

This past weekend my 2006 Silverado 1500 Crew Cab was stolen right out of my driveway. It's been broken into before via the easily punched out door lock and/or handle. The first time a couple years ago they punched the entire door handle off, this time they just punched out the lock. Both times, they shoved a screwdriver into the ignition to attempt to start it (failing the first time and successful this past weekend). Luckily the truck was recovered, up on blocks minus the wheels (with the engine still running!). I'm waiting on the adjuster to finish assessing the truck and have already found some more wheels on craigslist, but I to do everything I can to prevent this in the future. To that end, I'd like advice on the following: Jimmi Jammers - http://www.jimmijammer.com/ - It looks like these plates behind the door handles will help prevent them from punching the lock cylinder out. Has anyone had experience with these? Alarm systems - Everyone preaches Viper, which looks good. Are there any specific ones out there at are really good for my older truck? I definitely want the tilt sensor and I'd like smartphone integration somehow if possible (my truck does not have onstar though). Kill switch - I really want some kind of nice hidden kill switch. I'm pretty good with electronics so I feel like I could do this myself, but just need advice on where to start, where's a good hiding place, and what wiring to cut into for it to be effective (so the thief can't just cut behind it and splice something together anyways). Basically the stock ignition switch is garbage and easily defeated with a screwdriver. I also am upgrading the camera in my driveway so hopefully next time it can read the plates of the vehicle dropping off the thief. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks. -
Hi All, I recently purchased a 1978 GMC Sierra Grande 1500. I am looking to install a kill switch and I was wondering if the following would be possible to install cigarette lighter kill switch that will allow the 12v receptacle to continue to work. (i.e. still be able to use a usb charger). Anyone know if this is possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -
