Hey guys, after taking my dash out and repairing some horrible cracks, I put the day back in to find out that my truck won’t start, crank, nothing. I have power to everything except my radio and climate control. I also have a code P0615. I’ve jumped my starter through the relay with my key on run and my truck wouldn’t start although it cranked. Also replaced ignition switch, nothing changed. Any ideas? Thanks.

Check battery voltage - probably left the doors open while doing the work and ran it all the way down.

The battery was disconnected during the work and when I tried to start it the voltage was 12.4 volts.

Truck worked fine before dash removal, that would suggest during the removal process you made have accidentally disconnected a wire. PITA but you may have to remove dash again to inspect.

PLEASE post the cause and cure when you figure it out, there have been numerous posts of similar problems but as far as I know, no one has posted the results. I ran into it on a friends truck after he replaced the starter and battery, I lucked out and disconnecting the bat and reconnecting with the key on worked but that was pure luck. Same scenario, no gauges, blower and radio wouldn't shut off even with the door open key out, using the remote start made the key not function. my thoughts are BCM or buss problem. His would start and run for a second until trying the remote then nothing , fuel pressure was good

Yes that’s what I originally thought so I took the dash back out but still couldn’t find the problem. There are only a handful of wires that were unplugged so I don’t believe I missed any

Will do I’m taking it into the shop tomorrow to see what’s up I’ve been banging my head against this for 3 days and I’m throwing in the towel. I will still attempt to fix it today if anybody has any pointers.

P0615 is Starter Relay Control Circuit.  I think you've got more codes that maybe you can't see if your code reader can only reading powertrain.  

 

How much of the dash did you remove?  The entire assembly?  IMO, there's a wire that's been cut or a terminal isn't in a connector properly, or a connector isn't engaged correctly.  

 

Description of the start circuit:

Quote

 

Circuit/System Description

When the ignition switch is placed in the start position, a discrete signal is supplied to the body control module (BCM) notifying it that the ignition is in the start position. The BCM then sends a message to the engine control module (ECM) that crank has been requested. The ECM then verifies that the clutch is pressed for the manual transmission or that the automatic transmission is in park or neutral, and that the immobilizer is not disabling engine starting. If conditions are acceptable for cranking, then the ECM supplies 12 V to the control circuit of the STRTR relay. When this occurs, battery voltage is supplied through the switch of the STRTR relay to terminal S X2 of the starter solenoid, and the engine cranks. The ECM monitors the voltage on the STRTR relay control circuit

Was the switch replaced for this problem or prior to it?

Update: after a month the truck is fixed. Nothing I did from taking out the dash is was just bad timing. Fuse block finally gave out and I ended up taking it to the dealership and paying a lot to have them fix it. Either way, truck is fixed, make sure you check your fuse blocks!!

Thanx for the update, was it the underhood fuse block or under dash?

Under hood, it’s been filthy dirty and corroded since I’ve owned the truck and I guess it finally decided to die at a very unfortunate time.

      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.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
