OnStar light not lit up

[kickass audio]

I have an odd question. I noticed for the past few months that my OnStar light on the mirror is not lit up at all. It will flash red when I press the onstar button but it never connects to a representative. I have not paid for onstar in almost 2 years but even when I canceled onstar in the past the light would still show up as red for not having an active service plan enabled. I also noticed that my XM radio does not play anything on channel 1 or 100 which should play their advertisements for getting XM. I know I either have a bad roof antenna as occasionally my compass on the dash will just disappear and randomly come back. I have been considering replacing my roof antenna but I don't plan to really have onstar nor will I pay for XM but I am curious if this has happened to others for not having active subscriptions for a long period of time.

 

When I log into mychevrolet it does not give me an option to pick an onstar plan to enable it on my truck again nor does it show my XM radio ID to pay for that either.

 

I have considered upgrading the HMI to have android auto support as when I use my phone for navigation and it is on the windshield it will get so hot for extended periods of time that it will stop charging the phone until I cool the phone down by blowing cold air out of the defrost vent on the phone and was thinking if I keep my phone plugged in the armrest it would help avoid the problem I am experiencing. 

 

There are so many electrical issues my truck has that are annoying. My aftermarket alternator will spike the voltage up to 15v when cold and first started and when that happens it will shut off my HVAC for a few seconds until the voltage gets below 14.8v. I am going to bypass the OEM alternator charging circuit for that issue. I also have an aftermarket remote start installed and it occasionally triggers the OEM alarm and when it doesn't do that, it will fail to start the truck at random as well. My radio loves to stop playing music from the arm rest USB plugs until i unplug and plug the usb drive and also reboots at random.

that is why I mentioned on replacing the antenna but my light doesn't even show red, it's just totally out and I have no onstar account listed on the mychevrolet site and my XM radio doesn't show either any longer on there.

Yea, I think no light at all means you have no power going to the mirror, even when you do not subscribe, one of the lights should be on.

 

Any water leaks?

0 water leaks and the voice button and onstar button on the mirror respond when I press them and the red light flashes when I try onstar but it goes back to being out when the call fails to establish.
