Hey guys. So my 2019 GMC Sierra Elevation has a new issue. When I shut her down and open the door the radio continues to play. I have to hit the power button for the radio/screen to shut down. If I return to the truck and hit the power button the radio turns on without turning it to accessory. I thought it might be that it needs an update. Well it’s connected to wifi at the house and it says no update or when I cycle on and off a couple times that now is not a good time...what is going on here. I’m expecting a dead truck in the next couple mornings to come. Also it’s very cold here. Any ideas?

I have the exact same issue, started this week. It does shut off about a minute after I get out and lock the truck.

Mine won’t. I can go back in after an hour or longer and turn it back on by hitting power. Why all of a sudden are these trucks doing this?

Does yours still do it? I have a feeling that many others are going to be experiencing this in the near future. Maybe the truck needs a vaccine.

I checked it again sitting out there for several hours. I can unlock it and hit power and viola radio turns on. Also notice that when I hit power again to “turn off” the screen in between the tach and speedometer goes black but still is on.

My truck was dead this morning.

I unlocked my truck last night to get something and then closed door, went back in house.

 

now I'm wondering if my truck had the radio in all night.

Check to see if there is a update for your truck you can do yourself 

Should be a open software update they sent out which you can check thru settings on your truck 

which when they send it out the radio will stay on even if you open the driver side front door 

seen it many times should take 10-15 minutes if there is a open software update

I have checked a bunch of times and it says no update available or the update button is greyed out. When greyed out it says now is not a good time etc, put in park and try again. Oh I’ve tried again and diddly squat...terrible feeling over here. I won’t be surprised when I try to start tomorrow or the next and it won’t. Hoping someone has the fix or knows why it’s doing this.

Mine did this for the first time this week. I had gotten notice of the update the same day. I wonder if it was staying on to prompt me for the notice, but won't if the truck is off.

It's only been a few days, but I haven't had it happen since I did the update. Might have been coincidence too.

This happened to me once but I just cycled the battery power by leaving the negative terminal unplugged for about 5 minutes and it hasn’t happened again

When it finally did the update was the truck connected to wifi at home or was it able to update via cellular on its own? Maybe if I let it run for a period of time it might update.

I might try this today if it won’t update. Does your truck have the update? What year is yours?

When I looked for an update it didn’t have anything available so I’m assuming mine is updated before all of this happened. Mine is a 2020. What is the current software?

      You could try a used 1, they used that engine in the Astro vans, Plenty of them in the boneyard. Look for a wrecked or rotted 1 so the chance that it was scrapped for that reason and not a mechanical issue will be greater

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.
