'15 Silverado door lock issues

Greetings

 

I'm new to the club today.  These forums are great as I usually find the answer here before I go to the dealership and have to listen to their BS.

 

Problem- I have a '15 Silverado LT Crew Cab 58,000 miles and my passenger side front door lock just quit working. It doesn't open with the Fob, the driver side door lock switch or the passenger side door lock switch. Since it has no manual key door lock, I have to open rear door and reach in to unlock the door manually by pulling up on the nob. I'm assuming it's a switch, relay or actuator problem. I've owned many GM's and have replaced the window and power mirror switches before. Pretty simple to do.  I never got into changing the actuators as I don't feel like tearing apart my door. Has someone had a similar issue with just 1 door out of 4? What was the problem? I can take to dealership, but the ones near my house bends you over and doesn't ask permission first to violate you. 

 

I had the AC issue fixed under warranty, now I have this problem. With it being a '15, pretty disappointed in GM's quality lately.

Well if I had to completely guess. I’d do the door lock actuator. I’ve replaced a bunch of them. No way to be certain unless you test the circuits to the actuator. If you can do that, you can feel more confident about the repair.

Same thing on my 2014 Sierra except it's the drivers door. Actuator just quit working one day. Only 40,000 miles on the truck but it's out of warranty of course. From what i've read, big issue with them failing. They are cheap actuators and just quit. Just plan on replacing it. Local GM dealership told me their just a "problem area" and wouldn't do anything. Everyone thinks their should be a recall on these junk actuators for it's a safety concern. Doubt if GM will stand behind the issue and issue a recall though.

I had the auto door lock programed out on my '10.... could never get it done on my '14.

Would love to save the wear and tear from the auto lock feature by having it turned off.

2018 Silverado with approx 65K miles on it.  I've had the front driver and passenger door lock replaced all in the last 5K miles.  Now the rear passenger quit working.  3 failures in 5K miles.  What the heck!  Mines a double-cab.

 

Anyone got any ideas or are these just the cheapest things in the world.  About $300 to replace each one.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
