Centre console screen and stereo will not power on


Recommended Posts

Posted

Anyone on here know anything about the now 2020 Silverado HD having issues with the main screen and stereo system not working? I’ve had my truck for only 1.5 months and went to start the truck before going to work and the centre screen wouldn’t come on, nor will the stereo of hands free phone system... all are completely dead... restarted truck many times, with remote start and from within... it has done nothing to solve the problem and now I’m taking a brand new truck in to my dealer and losing at least one work day... anyone else have similar issues?? What was the problem??

I have had mine for a week. 2020 GMC 2500HD AT4 Duramax. I couldn’t figure out why between short key cycles I would lose all audio and everything in the IC screen expect for the main info page with speed and trip etc. nav, audio, phone all blank. Center stack screen shows me that the Sirius radio is on and the songs change but I have zero audio, no audio for Bluetooth or apple car play either. I tried key cycles, opening and closing door etc....

 

WELL....its apple car play. On these short key cycles I would leave my iPhone plugged into the USB port. Drop my kids off at school and come back out to no audio. Now when I have these quick trips I make sure I unplug my phone and everything functions like it should. It takes 3-5mins for it to reset with truck off and door opened if you do leave it plugged in and this happens to you. I let my dealer know of the issues I was having but plan to call them today and let them I know I figured it out.  Clearly they wouldn’t of had these issues if I dropped it off to be looked at. Maybe this works for you. Good Luck

I had same problem. They said the wiring harness was pinched under back seat and had to replace the entire main interior harness. Its been good after they did it

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
