Dash glitching

[Brandon Stone]

For a few months now atleast and intermittently, my dash will glitch like its losing power....instances are getting on the gas the whole dash will glitch, pausing or stopping the radio. Got on my interstate one time and dash glitched, even turned on my windshield wipers. Another case was having my cruise control set and used my turn signal and it canceled out my cruise. I only drive my 14 silverado on my days off and somedays it does it and other days nothing. I know the possibilities of what it could be are endless but looking for insight. I know once I get it fixed they'll be a recall and I'll be out a probable grand for something electric or computer issue

Welcome to the site.

 

If you feel your battery and all ground points are in good shape, I would start with the HMI module which is located in the dash behind the glove box.

My battery never really drops below 14 when it's happening and connections are tight, mechanic that I've talked to said hes seen some pretty weird stuff happen when it's just a battery issue so hmi is a possibility

i get this once every other couple months, but it goes away.

Mines bout one day every other weekend but again I only drive it on my weekends...never seems to do it at night, not that should have anything to do with it

If you are still on your original battery (hard to believe on a 14), I would look into replacing it, they do cause all sorts of problems as they get bad.

I replaced it last year sometime but that doeant mean I dont have a bad cell somewhere anyways...it did start eventually happening after this battery but it could still be hmi...just hate to start replacing anything that dont need to be

I know what you mean about buying parts for no reason.

 

Might just have to bite the bullet and take it in to see what they find, then maybe do the fix yourself?

Check your battery cables

[Brandon Stone]

There tight and no corrosion, havent examined the actual cable but kinda limited to how much being by the firewall

[flyingfool]

try running in tow hauls for 5-10 min. as this will recharge the battery if the voltage is sagging in the low 12 volt range, it usually bumps me up to 14+ volts

Try adding a second negative cable from battery to ground by the brake booster. You can get one from autozone, about 6ft long.

Bad ground cable is a common issue. Doing this on mine fixed every issue i was having and its a cheap solution.
