First off, forgive me if there is an electrical sub forum that I didn't find before I posted this. Anyway, I just purchased my truck Tuesday (2010 silverado ltz w/6.2l motor 108k miles) and I've put 300 miles on it, driving it home and than to work last night. I get in it this morning to head home and put the key in the ignition and turn it over and nothing. No starter click, no engine noise. I had plenty of power head lights and dome lights were bright, radio worked, Windows and locks worked. I did however notice a service 4wd message, traction control light, abs light and cel on the dash as well as the indicator of PRDM was not appearing either. I did a little bit of reading waiting for a ride home and found little to no info but ran across some things about the BCM perhaps may have lost memory. Has anyone else had any similar problems? Maybe someone could give me some ideas before I call the dealership today before I head back to work this afternoon. Any and all info is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Update:

I got to work early and messed with the truck, for s&g's I tapped on the starter while another guy tried starting the truck. It fired and ran about 5 secs and died. I did it again and the same thing. Tried it a 3Rd time and the truck fired and ran for the better part of 30 minutes until I got a truck and trailer here to pull it on to. While waiting game for them I sat in the truck and the dash lights were still on, and the only gauge that worked was the volt gauge and it seemed like the truck was in limp mode of sorts. When I get home in the morning I'm gonna pull the starter and have it tested, but I don't think it's it. Maybe when I was banging on it I rattled something else? Maybe the Park neutral switch on the trans? Maybe it is a ground somewhere but I looked and checked all the wires I could and couldn't find anything that stood out.

Check grounds as said above.

 

Since you are having issues with the gauge cluster the BCM could be suspect.

 

If the neutral safety switch was bad you would not have been able to start it at all. Look at the PRNDL to confirm shifter location is reading.

 

I would read codes before getting to far and report back with that.

 

I see BCM failure in the NBS trucks 10 to 1 vs 03 to 07 classic.

 

Are you getting fuel? If not check the fuel pump flow control module for operation if equipped.

Thanks for all the replies fellas. I was messing around with it Saturday before I was gonna take it to my buddies shop and hook it up to a scanner. I previously had checked all the battery connections and ground connections, but this time he had me pull the cables off the battery again but this time hold the positive and negative cables together for a few minutes and I put it back together and it started and ran fine. I drove it all day Saturday and Sunday and it hasn't acted up again. I dk if it was a fluke or if it will act up again. Time will tell i guess. Again thanks for the feed back.

      This doesn't look like a GM truck. Not needed on a HD truck

      It varies a ton around me. Some places are still at $5.00 or higher and others are way down into the $4's.   Offroad diesel was $4.02 at the one station I passed today.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Hdwrguy · Posted

      So after reading the reveal from Chevrolet, I kept asking myself...why did the trim levels change?   Here are the official ones:   Work Truck (WT): The quintessential fleet truck, built with durable, easy-to-clean interiors for commercial or utilitarian use. Custom: A stylish, road-oriented trim that adds a more refined appearance, standard dual exhaust, and modern exterior styling. Custom Trail Boss: An entry-level off-roader featuring a 2-inch factory suspension lift and 34-inch mud-terrain tires on a budget. Silverado: Serving as the new base consumer truck (replacing the previous LT trim), it comes standard with the Z71 off-road package when equipped with 4WD. Trail Boss: Steps up the off-road hardware with the 2-inch lift, 34-inch tires, monotube shocks, an exclusive off-road hood, and more premium interior options. ZR2: The flagship off-roader. It boasts 35-inch mud-terrain tires, Multimatic DSSV dampers, front and rear electronic lockers, forged carbon-fiber interior accents, and an available hardcore Bison Edition (co-developed with AEV). High Country: The pinnacle of luxury. It replaces bright chrome with modern satin chrome, 22-inch wheels, premium leather, real wood interior trim, a panoramic sunroof, and an exclusive front-passenger touchscreen. As others have stated, why would you want a Silverado - 'Silverado' - wth?? LT needs to remain!!!   Also, there will no longer be a dedicated Z71 model.  All 4x4 trucks will have the Z71 package. Carplay is also something that cannot be removed.  Hopefully it will remain.     I am excited about the 5.7L V8 (350 C.I.D.)  Old school Chevy power.  My only concern is whatever version of AFM/DFM cylinder deactivation.  Too bad that isn't an option a buyer can choose to have or not.   I will definitely be stopping by my local dealership when these trucks start showing up.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The not as clean as one would assume theme with the new engine oil, that reminds me of comments over the years with mechanics not always being so on board with filling an oil filter, not from the center anyway due to that typically being the clean side of the filter, danger of some contaminant falling into the filter if not careful but the realization now that the oil may not be as pure as one had assumed it would surely be. Yes it would be possible to fill from the small holes but that means messing with something to prop open the anti drain back valve if the filter is so equipped and not damage that valve in the process. Me, I have hardly ever prefilled an engine oil filter however I have prefilled diesel fuel filters with a filter on a fuel bulk tank and for anyone that has messed with diesel engines with filters and units that have a limited or no way of priming them, putting on a dry filter is a bad day to say the least with those crappy systems. But anyway back to not so clean engine oil, indeed perhaps its not so bad after all that I have not made a practice of prefilling oil filters.    As Grumpy Bear commented on keeping things clean, that I really have to wonder what the typical practice is at a dealer or any other shop that changes engine oil, do they make sure to wipe or wash off the oil plug and certainly if it fell into some gunk or onto a dirty floor, or that they wiped the filter mounting flange and didn't go and use some dirty rag and end up adding dirt to the inside of the head of the filter mount. Or be careless in how they stored or handled the new filter and if they were bumping into items under the vehicle with the filter opening facing up and having dirt drop right into the filter and if so right into the threaded center that is on the clean side. The top side, did they clean away the built up gunk that may be around the filler before removing the cap or to be really careful at that point that something right close to the filler hole that was hidden under the caps flange won't fall into the engine. Or did they clean the funnel or was that just laying there covered in oil from the oil change before and dust kicked up from sweeping the floor stuck to the oil and now that will go running into the next persons engine due to just not cleaning the funnel as "they won't know anyway" attitude as that young guy is more worried about taking a break so he can go outside and smoke a joint. Just random points that came to mind when I think about what some hired personnel may do that the shop foreman has no idea of or perhaps the whole attitude of some shops may be "eh ... who cares, they will never know the difference anyway".
