2018 No start, install new battery still no start

[No Tyme]

My 2018 Silverado has sat in the barn for several days and I went out to start it and all I get is one click. Turn ignition off and try again, one click.

Took battery to NAPA and they tested the battery, and tester said replace battery.

New battery installed and same thing, one click when I turn the key... not sure where to look next. 

 

Don't think I need to reset anything... so ideas please.

I put my battery charger on it, charging at 8 amps, dropped to 7 amps after 10 minutes. Maybe the new battery needs charged... manufactured dat 6-22

New battery was on charger all night, it did start today but it randomly will just click once with the turn of the key. Looks like my issue may not be solved yet.

Any grounding issues I should consider looking at before I spend money on a starter?

One make sure animals did not chew through something.

 

 

Two My 2018 starter Died on min at about 35K.  It had a dead spot so if it ended up there same issue.

Bad battery cables are common, as are starters on 14-18 trucks.  Typically high resistance in the cables.

When you post "Bad battery cables" do you refer to both or just one of them?

Most of the time its the positive, and that short one that's on the battery block but we've had some that get both.

Thank you for that info. I will see what happens as only time will tell if I still have an issue.

if it gets in a "Click" situation, try tapping the starter with something heavy and metal, maybe even while the key is in the crank position, if it starts, you know the starter has an issue, it's common for bad spot on the armature.

Did you ever figure out what the issue was? I am having similar issues but after 5-10 times it usually starts

[No Tyme]

I traced the ground cable from the battery down to the frame, which is just behind the passengers right front wheel. I cleaned that contact and haven't had an issue since. 

I have read there are issues with both positive and negative cables but for now just cleaning that contact has worked for me.

Change the mega fuse located on your batter maybe can help
