My 2019 ltz Duramax is having a meltdown. The door locks are going crazy. Driving down the road and it’s click, click, click, etc... non stop. The only way to stop it is when the truck is off and I hit lock on the fob or hold the lock button in the lock position while driving. Dealership wasn’t much help. Anyone have anything like this happen? It’s the 2nd time for me. 1st time lasted 10 min about 3 months ago. This time it’s been hours

Ok im going to assume some stuff. Does it stop doing it once you put it in park? does it only do it when your going down the road?

It might be one of the door open sensors. it thing that the door is opening and closing so fast that it doesn't display but it tells the door to lock.

You might want to crack each door open a little when it starts acting up again to see which door might be causing it. if it goes away with one of the doors open then you know at least its affiliated to that door.

It will do it in park, drive shut off and running. The only way to get it to stop is with the truck off and hitting the lock on the fob. I’ll go out and try the opening doors, but I don’t think that’s it. I’m very grateful for your input!! I’ll keep up and let you guys know what I find. I will say, both times it happened it was raining. That might have something to do with it.

Force those a-holes to go for a ride with you or have a passenger video the event for you

 

lol! I know! I feel the same way about most dealers. I don’t have to bring them for a ride, it will do it parked running or shut off.

I know this is a old post , but has anybody have any luck finding a solution? My 2015 2500 started doing this , I check each door and I've unplugged every switch to test , when I remove the fuse for the bcm for power locks it haults it but you can still here it trying to work, when I unplug the pink connector on the bcm under the dash it stops doing it , I've checked my wires and they look good , I've taking the batteries out of my key fob and cleaned all battery post , could it be the immobilizer in the roof or bad bcm?

      DTC P2C48 auxiliary cooling pump

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
