Weird my 2015 is doing the same thing except it's making a sound like the battery is dead. I jiggle the negative battery cable then it starts sometimes. Scared to turn the thing off when I go out. Has anyone gotten theirs fixed with a positive on what's causing this problem?

I'm also curious if this was ever resolved. This has been happening to my 2016 Silverado the past 2 years I've had it. Just when it's cold at night and warming up in the morning causing condensation. After it sits out for a while/heats up it starts fine. I'm not a mechanic or anything but I am pretty handy for the most part. I've tested the battery and the load is fine still, so the battery shouldn't be an issue. I even tried jumping it when it would start and it wouldn't jump. My internet research is suggesting it might be a bad starter? I would like to know if this is really it before taking it in to get replaced.

Very same issue with a Chevy 2500 HD 2016 (variety of blinking console warnings, starter won't activate on moist cool mornings), and here's the solution!!!  THERE'S A GROUNDING STRAP FROM THE COMPUTER MODULES DOWN TO THE FRONT WHEEL-WELL LOCATIONS ON THE FRAME, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE.  WITH AGE AND CORROSION, THESE GROUNDING CONNECTIONS BECOME INTERMITTENT WITH MOISTURE.  FIX IS QUICK:  (1) Find a 10 mm wrench or socket, remove the bonding bolt, (2) Use a piece of sandpaper or emery cloth to remove the corrosion on the strap eyelet and the frame, (3) re-apply the grounding bolt.  THE DRIVER SIDE STRAP APPEARS TO HAVE THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IMPACT, BUT CLEAN UP BOTH!
