Bought my 2014 Brand New (ordered it) when they changed the body style.  I have 143k miles on it and yesterday the weirdest thing happened.  The power mirrors stopped working.  When I would hold down the lock they would fold in.  When in reverse they would tilt so I can see backing up (have a 7 inch Rough Country lift since day 1) so I got use to the mirrors tilting.  The other odd thing is the tilt mirror (power options) is not showing up on the radio anymore.  I use to have an option on the radio to set preferences for power mirrors but it is like I it never existed.  The frustrating part is I just paid 150.00 bucks for the map update and good ole GM sent me a 2005 USB stick and I updated the maps.  It installed successfully and I didn't get any errors but now my power mirror option on the radio is gone?  I called GM Nav Entertainment team and all they said is take it to the dealership.  I'm a software engineer and didn't want to take it into a dealership to pay them to troubleshoot a tech update problem.  I called the dealership and asked questions and all they said was bring it in.


I googled and researched forums, tech fuse specs etc.  Did anyone have similar problems?  All my fuses are good.  The turn signal still works in both but it is very strange the radio doesn't even  act like power mirrors are installed.

 

Any ideas?


Thank you

Ok I did more troubleshooting and it is not just the mirror.  My power seat won't work and my driver memory 'drive 1' and 'driver 2' wont work.  Can't move the seats and mirrors can't be adjusted ???

 

Back to the drawing board and more research...any ideas?

Pgamboa would be the guy to touch base with. He’s an electrical genius with our trucks.

Disconnect the battery for about 30 minutes, let the truck reset itself, connect it back and see what happens.

So after more troubleshooting and realizing all the options on the radio were missing:  All the convenience options were gone.  I  did what JimCost2014 said and disconnected the battery for 30 mins.  Reconnected and the console had me walk through factory settings.  Once I did that everything was back to normal.  The only thing I did prior to the issues was update the map via USB but the mirror and power issues didn't happen until 2 weeks later.  I didn't have anything change so I'm not sure what caused the issue or what the disconnect of the battery (reset) was needed.  Bad thing is I lost all my settings on the radio, GPS, favorite locations, and GPS history.

 

I can only imagine what the dealership would have charged and told me.  I probably would have paid for a computer ones and zero upgrade compliance and factory reset charge, diagnostic charge, 2 hours of service and big 600.00 bill that would take away from my Natural Light beer fund.


Thank you JimCost2014!!!

 

Still love my Chevy :-)

I just had this problem on my 2014 Denali.  Mirrors were folded while parked, when got back in they wouldn’t return.  And realized Power driver seat wouldn’t work and settings in menu were missing.  Checked a bunch of fuses, all good.  Thankfully found your post before taking it to the shop…disconnected battery for 30 min and all is back to normal.  Many thanks to JimCost2014 you saved me a bunch of money!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
