"Theft Attempted"

[Wiggums]

I have only driven about 1,000 miles in the past nine months since I cannot use it at the ranch. I was kind of surprised to see that when I got in my truck an hour ago.

 

What would have to be done in order to trigger such a warning? A rock on a window? I looked around and could not find anything.

Was you truck at the ranch where you are or in a town? Most likely someone pulled in thx door handle.

Have you been to the stealership lately?  Maybe it was warning you about the dealer trying to rip you off.

Parked on the street where tract homes are. I tried to duplicate that several times, pulling the door handle would never do it. I only got that ONCE and that was when I was locked out of my truck (with the key in a tin can, I wanted to see if it really worked, really dumb idea, I know now!). The guy used a jimmy to get in and I saw that warning for the first time. No way a pull on the door would cause that but I will try that and see (with the key away, of course)

 

Haven't gone to the stealership lately so that's out. Mine's been great, lifetime oil change, $10k off my new truck, no BS.

I love Dana Point, grew up in San Juan Capistrano.

  Owners manual does not go into a lot of detail about what sets off an alarm or sets a notice like that. It does state that if the alarm system was triggered that when you use the remote to unlock after the event the horn should beep 3 times and show a message on the DIC?  

  Maybe someone came by and stuck a key in the drivers door lock and set off the Free Turning door lock feature? Not sure but I would think that might set off the alarm and cause a message also? Is your door lock Free-Turning now?

From owners manual Page 46 =  Free-Turning Locks The door key lock cylinder turns freely when either the wrong key is used, or the correct key is not fully inserted. The free-turning door lock feature prevents the lock from being forced open. To reset the lock, turn it to the vertical position with the correct key fully inserted. Remove the key and insert it again. If this does not reset the lock, turn the key halfway around in the cylinder and repeat the reset procedure. 

If i could not figure it out I might push the onstar button and see if they recorded an event?

Any time the alarm has been triggered you will get the "theft attempted" message on the DIC.
