My 14 did the static through the speakers.  Eventually the head unit went under warranty.  The 2017 does it only once in a blue moon.  It is a lease so I will be giving it back.

Good morning...as I started my truck this morning all seemed to be fine...and then I started getting an alert tone of some kind...it almost sounded like the seat belt tone (but nothing flashing on the dash info center).  So I unclicked and clicked my seat belt...still the tone would beep every couple seconds...I thought this was going to be a long drive to work...but by the time I got out of my neighborhood, it stopped beeping...

 

This isn't the first time this has happened...but didn't think much of it last time...did a search on the forum, and I couldn't really find much...any help is appreciated.

I have a 2019 ZR2 which is plagued with the same issue of the ding/tone what ever I was able to narrow it down to when the built in phone charger is working it will ding and subsequently tone ding when turning off…

I have a 2018 sierra and we got in the truck and started to drive. It did it a few times. I decided to Google it.Im in the passenger seat and decided to make sure my seat belt is buckled good. I reached down and it was but I noticed I had it buckled in the middle buckle instead of the one for the passenger by the door 🙄. I am thinking there must be a sensor of some kind in that buckle to let you know it's not hooked when a passenger or weight is in the seat. 🤔.  It hasn't done it since

See if you can't find the middle seat seatbelt and just leave that buckled all the time. Then you will always get the passenger seatbelt buckled in the correct latch. that's what I do.

 

And there is a sensor in the passenger seat that senses how much weight is there. If under a certain weight (maybe 40lbs???) no ding. But over that weight, you will get the warning dings. Also IIRC, when under that certain weight, the passenger side airbag is disabled too. I think the notification is in the roof console.

As far as airbag, earlier models had a switch on dash that you would use the ignition key to disable the airbag in cases where you might have to drive with a child in front seat. It was a nice safety feature.

 

But if I had to take a guess, there was probably incidences where airbag didn't get turned back on and passengers got more hurt because airbag had previously been disabled and driver forgot to turn it back on. Or someone unfamiliar borrowed truck not knowing the airbag had been turned off and had an accident. I don't know this for a fact but wouldn't be surprised if it did...

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
