Same thing. 2017 Silverado. Checked pig tail under glove box- fixed it for a couple of days. Reset to factory settings- fixed it for a couple of days. Took it to the dealership and they upgraded the software- fixed it for a couple of days. I give up…I guess I’m going to have to get a new freaking screen!!

I was having same problem with my 2015 LT starting 9/21. Had auto electric shop go thru truck thinking short or grounding problems, nothing was found. replaced hmi 10/21.  started having same issues 5/22. replaced hmi, new one, dealer flashed. Lasted 2 months, same problem. 2 weeks ago, on suggestion, removed touchscreen, took apart and  cleaned ribbon cable  connectors with pencil eraser. So far so good. Going to Parker AZ next week, about 3 hour drive. Will updated when I get back.

Yet another info center going wackey.

2017 Silverado. The DIC changes to Radio instead of Speedometer. Change it back with steering wheel TouchPad to Speedometer and then it jumps right back to Radio. The info center screen randomly scrolls thru radio station list. Sometime goes to Navigation screen.

Just started happening and only have 38K miles on the truck.

This sounds like the digitizer is shorting out and needs to be replaced. 
This is relatively inexpensive on eBay and there are a few threads on this site and “how to”. Videos on YouTube to R & R.

I have a 16 cooorado, same issue. Almost unusable especially with phone plugged in it calls random people. Even without phone it opens gps and every other app and changes music.

 

 

I cleaned the screen. No cover. All factory. Please help. My morning drive sucks.

Pretty easy fix. You can buy a new touchscreen digitizer through Amazon for less than an 100 bucks and replace it yourself. There are several YouTube videos that will guide you through it.

Digitizer didn’t fix my issue…still doing the same thing…I have replaced the actual screen with one from a wrecked truck after I punched mine 🤣 and then replaced the digitizer on the new radio & still the same thing 🤦‍♂️

Sorry to hear that and I hope your hand is ok 👌 💪

Next step is the HMI module. It's located behind the glove box above the cabin air filter. I would check the cables to it, before changing it. They can come loose.

We have the same problem with our 2017 Colorado. I need a fix before my husband punches the screen! Specifically, what digitiser do l need to buy?

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
