2016 Silverado remote start/electrical issue?

[chase..]

Hello everyone,

 

I recently bought a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT Z71 with the factory remote start. Worked fine the first few days i had it, then i went to start it the other morning using the key fob and the truck lights flashed as usual but no crank or start, the weird thing is the truck had no power at all after that. I had to use the physical key to unlock the door, and when i tried to turn on accessory no power whatsoever. After popping the hood and playing with the battery connections, i was able to get power. The battery connections were tight, and there was no visible damage. Started the truck using the key and went to work, this morning i tried it again and same thing, lights flash, i hear a click, no start, then no power. Any ideas? Battery looks brand new, could this be a fuse? Electrical issue?

Bad battery, bad battery cables or bad starter are the top 3 that come to mind.

 

Also.  The "2026 future truck" section?  Not the best place to ask a question like this lol. 

 

For future reference on your 2016 truck, hit up the 14-19 section of the forum.  I've linked that HERE  2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra - GM-Trucks.com

 

And welcome!
