I have a 2018 Silverado. I replaced the battery last fall and each onstar diagnostic report afterwards warned that my battery was low. I took it to my Chevy dealer and they said the batter is fine. Is this a know issue?

Welcome to the site.

 

Sometimes it takes forever for the messages to clear from OnStar, no idea why. Had the battery changed in our Tahoe early last fall, message finally stopped showing up this month.

      GMC Hummer EV Digital Key
      By bpdamas
      Does anyone know how to add the digital key for the GMC Hummer EV? It says it should be in the app to select but I don't see it there. I followed the manual instructions as well but don't see the option for a digital key. If anyone knows or can help I would appreciate it.

      Low oil level - gaskets and pans
      By SquattedChevOnBlack
      Hey there I have a
       
      2015 1500 5.3L LTZ Silverado 4WD (midnight edition)
       
      Anyway I was doing highway miles and got a console alert that oil level was low. Stopped at the auto parts store, added one quart, saw level was still low.. so I added a second quart which filled it up. I climbed under the engine in the parking lot, and took a peek at the oil pan. I noticed the gasket was all mushroomed out and there was oil pretty much caked everywhere lower than that seal.
       
      I took it to the dealership to get it repaired and the service manager told me the strangest stories.
       
      He said
      1) the lower oil pan is one time use
      2) the lower oil pan gasket is RTV
      3) the upper oil pan gasket was also leaking
      4) the crimp in the oil cooler line was leaking (didn't realize my engine even had an oil cooler!? Why would a light duty truck have this equipped?)
       
      He quoted $2000 for everything including 10% sales tax.
       
      Does this raise the alarm for anyone else here? I only saw oil from the lower gasket downward. The parts on rock auto are about $70. I think I'll have to do this one myself but would love some thoughts. 
       
      Thanks in advance.

      Bluetooth Option Greyed Out
      By CajunSpices
      Hello, I've done quite a bit of searching on this topic and can't really seem to find a fix. Was wondering if anyone could help me out here as it's starting to get annoying. In my 2014 Chevy Silverado, my options to connect a new phone to bluetooth are greyed out. It doesn't let me click it at all. Another thing that is maybe just coincidence is my onstar seems to not be working either. There is a red light instead of a green one on my rear view mirror. Every now and then it'll go green for 2-3 seconds, and then turn to red. Not sure if this has anything to do with the bluetooth. 
       
      The troubleshooting I have done is: 
      Taken the radio out, cleaned the plugs, refitted them and reattached the radio; Nothing. 
       
      Fooled with the wire behind my rear view mirror to see if it's a bad connection of some sort; Nothing. 
       
      Tried to pair my phone through voice and any other work around; Nothing. 
       
      Removed all previous devices, and still nothing. 
       
      Im kind of at loss here, any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

      I have the 2020 2500 LTZ trim level with back slide window and without sunroof. So i want to remove the overhead console to install a panel of rocker switches posterior to the console right where the roof liner scoops down. I am stuck on how to remove the single button switch for the rear slide window. I tried what i know but don't want to break it. Please share if anyone have come across this. Thanks

      *update* 2011 voice activation problems
      By Josh Dalrymple
      So I posted last week about an issue I've been having for quite some time. I've recently got a big up my butt about getting it take care of, and was messing around with it and discovered something new that may help with the diagnosis. 
       
      When I push the voice activation button, the system says "ready" then beeps. At this point, if I say nothing it will tell me some of the commands I can say. however if after the beep I say anything, it doesn't respond at all, and after about 30 seconds will say "goodbye" and hang up on me. Now, if I press the OnStar button which uses the same microphone, the OnStar rep can hear me just fine, so I know its not the microphone. 
       
      Any ideas?
