Well starting about a month ago when locking the truck the horn "beep" will not work. This is specifically when you park, and hit the lock button twice you normally hear a beep. That beep. Sometimes it does, sometimes it does not work. Even when I hit the lock button repeatedly. Figured it was the remote battery. Bought a new battery and put it in, no help. Then I was on the market for chrome LTZ fobs, bought two off Ebay and had the local dealer program them. Figured that might fix it. Nope, even with the new LTZ remotes it's acting the same. No beep sometimes. So i've tried different remotes, batteries etc. What could be causing something like this?

I had this issue once and found my kids were not shutting their door all the way. I was going to say to check the DIC Options for the horn feedback but if it's intermittent, that's probably not the issue.

horn works fine. wondering if the horn itself is going bad though, not being very responsive to the short electrical bursts.

I have had this same issue...my kids close the door and I would hit the lock button twice and no horn. So i walked around the truck open and closed all doors, hit the lock button twice more and it would beep at me. Next time when it doesn't beep at you, try going around and opening and closing all the doors again. In my crew cab, it is usually the back door on the drivers side, for some reason that door does not close very good.

I know the rear doors take some effort to close... I'm wondering if maybe a position switch is out of adjustment. Good places to start!

I have the same exact issue happening on my ‘14 Silverado LTZ. Did you ever figure out the issue; and if so, what was the fix? I’ve had it looked at the dealership and they had no idea. Just threw a new horn at it in hopes it would fix it. It didn’t work.

My 14 Sierra SLE seems to do this sometimes.... Hope it not a computer issue or something big on the horizon.

Will check doors next time

Any luck on determining what is causing this issue? My 2014 recently started doing the same thing. Thanks.

Still does it but has not created any sort of issue either.

    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage. 
    • This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
