Is the audio issue resolved? If so, were you able to trace the connector's location?

My audio is back to true uninterrupted sound again. I have not been back to the dealership to find out what the connector they fixed was but it was definitely the culprit that has caused me grief over the last 3 years. I know they told me initially what it was but I do not know enough about the electrical system to really understand. I just know the connector was bent and changes in the temperature would allow it to temporarily expand enough to lose connection and thus no sound.

I had the same issues, first the dealer "fixed" the wiring, then replaced the AMP and said I had a rear window water leak, then replaced the head unit after doing "diagnostics" for over a week driving

Thanks for the feedback! Glad it's working for you.

Really hoping you have got us all an answer to the connector they replaced.  Been having this same issues going on 4 years now.  Any updates?  Or have the dealers # so we can call and ask...

I had the same issues, first the dealer "fixed" the wiring, then replaced the AMP and said I had a rear window water leak, then replaced the head unit after doing "diagnostics" for over a week driving my truck for hundreds of miles for some reason in the process.  None of these fixes actually fixed anything. 

 

 I found my issue at an audio component just above the passenger side kick panel. While the head unit was playing audio I reached up and wiggled the connectors untill I started to have the audio cut in and out. Pulled that connector and tweaked the pins with a small pick and reinstalled.  Boom... No more audio issues.

I asked my dealer what the name of the piece was. They said it was a wire harness connector (and they called it an Ethernet connector) beneath the glove box on the passenger side. The male pins were getting bent by the female receiver and once they replaced the female part, smooth sailing ever since. Hope this helps! Cheers.

Awesome thank you sooo much.  I'm going to give this a shot.

We had this problem with our new 2024 GMC Sierra. Just returned from dealership who diagnosed it as a problem with amplifier. Part is on order so hopefully when it’s replaced the problem will be solved.

This happened to our new 2024 Sierra. Took it in to dealership. They determined it was a bad amplifier. Part was replaced and everything works now.

I have a 2019 Chevrolet Traverse and I have been having the same issue of no sound, no audio from anything.  No blinker sound, no door chime and no radio.   It has been going on for several months, it was just going off every once in awhile and continuously got worse, now it will go off for days at a time then come back in.  Makes a popping sound when it goes off and comes back on.  Have contacted Chevrolet and have still not got it resolved.  My car was just out of warranty when the issue started.  I have taken to local Chevrolet dealer for diagnosis, but I really feel like they are just guessing.  Saying water is running from HVAC onto module and shorting it out, their fix is diversion of water for a lot of $$$ but who is to say the said module will even last if thats the case and I'm sure it is not a cheap part.  Getting very discouraged that Chevrolet won't get to the bottom of this issue and fix the problem.  Buying  a brand new vehicle, you would expect this would be addressed as I see I am not the only one with this problem.  Has anybody gotten it fixed and it stay fixed, I'm not convinced that it isn't a software problem.

Hi, our 2018 Equinox LS lost audio a second time, 1/6/2025, last evening. A fix, for the 1st time thru GM tech service & Onstar, was to turn off car & leave door open at least 3 mins. It could be a software bug...but not sure. Last nite wife pulled in garage, left car door open, came in house. Several mins later she started car, radio back on. Why radio went out...dont know. Nobody can answer. Multi million $ company you'd think would know. But at least that 'fix' worked for us. There's about 82,000 miles on it.

I have a 2023 Silverado. The sound not working, happens sometimes. Ever since the "Software upgrade" the volume goes FULL VOLUME and I can't turn it down. The steering wheel controls don't work and neither does the dash control. I can't even turn off the radio. I have to stop. Turn the truck off and hope it works when I restart. There is also sometimes problems with the lights not working. I have to turn the truck off and do a restart. Like a computer. I blame the last upgarde.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
