Any advise? No one has replied for 5 months

You might want to check, or replace the hood latch switch. The remote start will not work with any issues, factory safety feature.

 

Lots of post on this problem.

Having the same issue. Mine is related to a battery post failure (negative) internal to my battery. Battery is only 6 months old, and it happened again. I stress relieved the negative cable/post, however, not good enough apparently. Definitely vet the posts on the battery. Have someone try to start the vehicle while putting a bit of torque on the post in a couple different directions. This may expose the problem.

I will have to give that a try. What do you mean by "vet the posts"? Also, how do you stress relieve the battery, add a ground?

Put some torque on the cable at the battery post while someone tries to crank over the truck. If the post has failed you'll detect it when the starter can't roll over the engine. If there is a crack in the post internal to the battery you will exploit the issue putting torque on it opening the crack and creating an open condition. Your starter draws a lot of amps so it will be obvious if it is an issue.

 

I'm going to add a loop of cable to lengthen it. The negative cable is highly unsupported as it runs down the firewall. At least in my case anyway, it is putting quite a bending moment on my negative post creating the failure mode. This is the third battery that has failed this way in my truck. If you key on to accessory does your voltage drop quickly below 12V and then throw a low battery voltage warning? If so, this could be the issue.

This is a mechanical fatigue failure of the battery post. Not an electrical failure. Lack of voltage and subsequent amperage draw is the symptom of this failure mode. Tough one to find for sure given the housing of the battery is holding things together even though it is cracked.

I appreciate your detailed response! I will look into it more. The only difference is I do not have the low voltage warning upon start up. Also, some times when it is cold my starter seems to drag. Would this be a result from this issue?

      Static noise from speakers when 2018 GMC sierra is on, NO sound at all
      By zachdill5
      Hi I am new here so I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the correct spot, but I'm having big electrical problems with my 2018 GMC Sierra 1500. it started about 1.5 weeks ago, I turned my truck on one cold morning(-15C) and my speakers were making crackling noises with no music coming out at all, no door chimes or signals either. I noticed my volts were around 15.5-16, but it never went over 16. the music would come back on when I turned the engine off and just had it on ACC mode. I called my mechanic and he told me it was probably my alternator, so I paid to Get that replaced, he returned it and nothing changed. still having the exact same problems. I called him again and he took it back in and looked at it some more. The speakers now crackle for the first 5ish minutes of the vehicle turning on, and then eventually smooth out as the volts settle down to around 14.3V. I put in all new speakers around the truck about 6 months ago, with an Amp and subwoofer, but I am just now experiencing problems with it. I tried taking the power cable off of the amp, and its still doing it to the door speakers and tweeters. I am now out $1100 and still having this issue, if ANYONE could give me some advice or something I could try that would be awesome,  
       
      Thanks!

      Electrical Issues
      By Jennifer Smiles
      I have a 2003 yukon sle 2wd. The radio, windows, gauges on right side of the dash all stop working. The abs, tc and air bag lights come on. Now if you press the brake the radio and windows work. The gauges sometime come back on. The vehicle runs good now stalling issues or anything. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas what could cause this.

      Sparking metallic sound while starting
      By MacAaroni
      Ever since I got my transmission rebuilt I started hearing a metallic sparking sound whenever I started my truck cold.
      Also my truck seemed to be having a slight stutter when I started it, almost as if it wanted to shut off, but its only for a half second. 
       
      I thought it had something to do with the battery going bad (had it for 3-4 years), so I took it to get tested and failed the test. So I got a new battery but the problem persisted. 
       
      I then took out the starter to get it tested and it passed its test. After installing it back the sound actually got worse and not only made the sound during the turning of the motor but also while driving. The sound goes away as the vehicle heats up and it will not make the noise again until the truck has time to cool down.
       
      One thing I have noticed that may be a problem is I am missing the flywheel/starter plastic cover. It sits between the flywheel and starter so I am not sure if it also acts as a shim and is causing the issue. 
       
      Any ideas what I’m dealing with here?

      2021 Suburban Diesel RST. Issues have started.
      By Apache32Bravo
      Bought this vehicle brand new. I love it, and perfect for myself, my family, and the fact it's Diesel puts the cherry on top for me. But... now things have started. We have currently 1,137 miles on the vehicle and had the first message populated:
       
      - Service steering column lock. (see photo)
       
      Everything else worked, remote start, standard start, and the vehicle had zero issues. The following day from our road trip, we had to go to the DMV with our out-of-state paperwork to submit for plates. My wife now received a new message. 
       
      - Service emissions system. See owners manual. (see photo)
       
      She drove to the DMV and left to get the smog paperwork. Then a new issue: 
       
      - Vehicle remote start isn't working. (see photo)
       
      She is in the car and tries to start... Nothing. She tries again. It starts, and she drives it to a local dealer. They come to look and scheduled us for an appointment. She drives the vehicle now, and Onstar now shows the emission issue. ( see photo ) We now can't register the vehicle in California, because, the check engine light is on, emissions warning, and they won't smog it until it's corrected. 
       
      Awesome... 
       
      I noticed that none of these issues happened until it updated the software in the vehicle. I'm hoping this is something that can be fixed. I've been looking around for answers and only finding more issues that are all pretty shitty. Sorry, no better way to say it. I've also seen a post of people saying, “deal with it, it's a new breed of vehicles,” etc. I’d challenge that answer. No one should pay this much for a vehicle and face these issues I'm reading about. 
       
      So here's what I'm going to do, document everything, and I mean everything. This will be for everyone who may have this issue now or who may come across it. 
       
      My opinion...but I'm not a mechanic, is that there is a massive software and hardware issue with these models. I believe GM internally has to know about this from Dealers, Customer Service, Compliance Reports, etc. I'm sure all issues are in the queue to be address or fixed. I do, however, feel with the challenges of physical hardware that they chose a vendor that was most cost-effective, which is a component of these issues a long with the capability to support the software complexity of the current models. 
       
      Or maybe I'm just wearing a tin hat, who knows. 
       
      So, I open this up to you. Any advice, similar issues, outcomes you've faced, and other topics, please comment below. 
       
      May the journey of dealership visits begin. Hopefully, this journey isn't to long.

      No Shift indicator; no crank
      By Jordan Vance
      So i had to change my starter about a year ago and over the last few months every other start there would be a grind noise almost. The noise was as if the starter was loose but it wasnt. I was able to continue to start it until finally it the starter wouldn’t engage. Nothing to it all. So my boss helped me decide that I just needed a new starter Even though i just replaced it not even a year ago. As i was changing starter somehow I managed to rip the wiring out lf the harness for the crankshaft position sensor so it wouldn’t crank at all without that working properly so i ended up getting the harness off our black truck at the farm and that part should be good now but now i am not showing up any indicator on my gears but shifter is working i was under the truck while i had someone shift and its moving the cable and the selector and 
      Without it showing a gear or to be in Park it wont  Crank what can I do
