Can you describe what it is doing?  Handles moving but nothing happening? Acting like it is locked but will not unlock or ???

Try doing a computer reboot, unhook the battery negative cable for about 10 minutes or so then reconnect. Being you removed the door panel and unhooking the switches it lost communication with the computer. Or you forgot to hook something back up. Is it all doors or just that one?

Both inner and outside handles move, door locks move, plunger goes up and down, everything sounds normal except door won’t open, feels locked when either handle is pulled even thought truck is unlocked.

I will try this when I get home, did have the battery unhooked when installed mirror to clear the temp sensor code.

No luck, same issues after reboot.

does your truck show anything on the dash that the door is ajar at all? The thing that's weird is these trucks should have a setup where you pull the inner handle once to unlock the door and pull it again to release the door latch and open it up.

 

I did have on my old 2014 where the door was worked on but when I closed the door I did it lightly so the latch was holding the door shut but it wasn't closed hard. I just had to hip check the door shut and it let me get back in again as normal.

 

I would try to pull the inside handle and watch that the plunger raises up and then try to pinch the plunger rod and pull it up hard then see if you can get the door to open from inside. Did you mess with the exterior handle at all? What about the inside cable that goes to the inner door handle? Was it fully secured and not sitting partially in the groove so it's putting tension on the cable to possibly cause a lockout?

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
