No sound from radio

I have a 2015 GMC  Sierra - the "no sound" problem started a couple of years ago, but it's gotten worse and worse to the point that it's about every other time I start the truck. It's not just the radio, there is no seatbelt warning sound, no turn signal sound - nothing. I'm convinced the problem is a computer problem. I also installed a remote battery disconnect to address the problem that intermittently the truck thinks it is overheated, when it's not. The problem is not the sensor on the engine, the fix is to disconnect the battery and wait 30 seconds to reset the computer.  I've fixed low alternator voltage by resetting the computer. It's sad to see that GM can't get a fix in 8 year models.

2015 was a completely different electrical system than the 1500's trucks that are 22.5 and newer ('24 and newer for HD's)

I was having the no audio issue pretty regularly once my 30 day on star data subscription expired. I suspected something going on during startup with communication timing out etc due to lack of internet. I did the following:

1) deleted my gmail and MyChevrolet accounts on the truck to avoid unnecessary comm attempts at startup. 
2) disconnected my home WiFi. 
3) I have been letting the  radio go through its quirky initialization process before putting the truck in gear. It sometimes comes on quickly but other times it takes 20-30 sec. 
I have not had an issue now in about a month. I guess I should divide and conquer to pinpoint but I’m content now since it’s behaving lol

Any updates or fixes from GM? New ‘24 LTZ is doing this on a 3 week old truck.

 

im curious if I should expect both seat vibrations and beeps with park assist. I currently get one beep if I’m lucky. Thinking there’s an issue there too

With car in park press and hold the end call button for about 15 seconds until your info screen restarts then let off the and call button. Your information screen will restart and this should work. Works for our 2023 GMC Sierra

Hello, I did some research online and found there seems to be an issue with android auto or Apple carplay. If you turn off the connection to that in the vehicle everything seems to be working again. I don't know if everyone is the same issue but it has worked for me for over 2 months now. I hope they find if fix for it soon because I miss my android auto.

I'm late to this party but I wanted to add my GMC Denali Sierra to this list. I have experienced the no sound issue with my new $86,000 truck on several occasions (happens about every six engine starts). My truck is presently living at my dealership where I have taken it in for this problem three previous times. Every time they have told me they have repaired the no sound issue and it is working fine. The no sound issue has always returned. In fact the last time that I picked it up at the dealership after the issues was repaired, I started the truck to leave and there was no sound. Also I constantly get the dashboard "Service Driver Assist" message about every five times I start the engine. This issue has also brought my truck into the dealership on four occasions. The last time it was in for repair the service department told me the factory was working on a repair for this issue but presently they could not repair it. My truck has 3100 miles and I'll be starting the Lemon Law process very soon.

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
