So I just did a 1500 mile roundtrip road trip. Truck was great and even recorded some good mileage scores. However, at 2:44am the whole MyLink radio froze. Screen was not responding, buttons would do

Update: Received update and new gremlins so dealer applied a patch. Now more issues, wish I had left it with occasional blank screen. Now incoming call connects but radio keeps playing, call log on s

My 2016 Sierra Z-71 screen went blank. It is only 2 months old with 2500 miles. took it into the dealer and they still have it. It has been over 2 weeks and they said it was the HML module and there inventory shows zero in stock and they are just waiting to get one in. .

I am new to this forum also new to my 2016 gmc sierra. With not even 700 miles on it my lcd my link went out. Nothing works on the screen but I can still hear music and control from my steering wheel controls. Really disappointed about this. Has anyone come across a solution for this really don't want to visit the dealer already. ( way to soon for warranty work ) I did even try to disconnect the battery for about 1 1/2 hours with no results. Pretty tough to swallow with the price tag on this things. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

I have had this issue and the computer was reprogrammed to fix it. The problem has returned. The screen is blank and nothing is working. I restart the truck and it works again. A couple of times have required several restarts before its functional again. Currently at the dealership for oil change tire rotation and to replace the Rad and Therm for leaking Radiator issue. They are going to look at the radio issue again.

I have a 2017 Acadia with 2100 miles on it. Really disgusted since my intelink screen freezes up. I can control the radio from the steering column but nothing else works, no touchscreen at all. Been to the dealer twice now for the problem. They updated it first, second time replaced the whole screen.Now they say it needs some module replaced that nobody has. anyone else having this or similar intellilink trouble.

I have a 2015 Silverado Lt double cab.  About 3 weeks ago, my blinkers weren't working from the inside of the truck.  I took my truck to the dealer and they reprogramed the screen.  This morning when I first started the truck the whole screen froze, nothing worked.  I tried to call OnStar, nothing (what if I had an emergency?).  I tried using the radio, nothing.  I tried using bluetooth with my phone, nothing. My blinkers weren't working.  I went to my next appointment, about 20 minutes and when I started my truck again, everything worked.  

I drove straight to the dealership to make an appointment for tomorrow morning.  The scary thing is I only have 200 miles left on my warranty.  I will fill you in on what happens after my service appointment.

Well I am digging up this topic again. I have a 2014 LT that has this problem. 

I was sitting in the truck one day eating lunch listening to the radio. I got a warning that the battery was getting low, so I started the truck. The mylink screen booted like normal, but then it went blank. That was 6 months ago, and all it does is reboot and fail, reboot and fail. The radio is only operable with the steering wheel buttons, and the backup camera works as long as it isn't in the rebooting process. I tried removing fuses, disconnecting battery, and even took out the HMI and plugged it back in. Nothing has changed. I think I need a new HMI, but I keep seeing people say that theirs came back so I have waited. Six months is enough. I can get the HMI on ebay for around $350 for the non Nav unit. I just want to make sure I'm not missing something before I drop the $$.  I spoke to my dealer, and all he said was bring it in. Should I spend that $150 first or what? Any help appreciated.

I would check with MVI first and ask about one of their custom HMI builds.

My 14 LT is doing the same. Blank screen. Every 8 minutes or so it shows initialising. Then goes to a screen that says please install update media and remove others. System is shutting down and has a 300 second counter. Screen goes blank again't by 283 seconds. Shows 0/100 installed. 

Any idea if an update will fix this?

That is exactly what mine is doing. In addition to that, the radio cuts off every 20-30 minutes and comes right back on. That started later on. I was told it was the HMI module, but wanted to ask here to confirm.

Yep, mine shuts off too. I haven't found anyone else with the exact problemishes til now. So, who's gonna pull the trigger and be the guinea pig? 

One dealer said sounds like I need an update. $164 and if that don't fix it I still have to pay it. One dealer said they think I have a bad screen. Bring it in for a $90 diagnostic. 

Got a trip to the mountains next week, so it will be a while before I take mine in.

Please let me know if you get yours fixed.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
