Twice now, the audio in the truck has quit.  No radio, can't hear my phone call and even cannot hear the blinker.  Turning the truck off does not help. But works the next day or next time that I get into the truck.  Not sure how long it takes.

Press and hold the call hang up button on the steering wheel for about 15-20 seconds.  That will hard reboot the radio.

 

If it keeps doing it, take it in.  There is likely an update that might fix it.

I had the same lack of audio this year on my 2020. I drove it to the dealer, they verified, checked for codes and there was none. They gave me an appointment for a few days later. 

I shut it off and restarted with the same lack of audio. It sat overnight and the next day everything worked fine and continues to work fine months later. 

I'm sure someone on here has the answer to this.

Would that also fix not hearing the clicking of the blinker?

 

 

Turn signal chime is run via the radio.  Has been for almost 30 years on GM vehicles.

I did this to mine. It fixed it.

My loaner had that happen (no sound from anything) last week. "Fixed" itself an hour after shutting it off and then restarting. A 2026 Sierra 1500. Hasn't happened since.

I had this happen several times on my truck.  Tried the reset/reboot with the steering wheel button and still lost audio and turn signal sound.  Took the truck into the dealer, they did a software update on the radio and now it has worked ever since.  Also built in Google Maps would shut down several times on a 1 hour trip, since the software update Google Maps has worked good as well.

Have you been avoiding the "over the air" updates?   I had 3 or 4 in the last 3 months on my 2024, 2 in one day recently.  Don't know what they accomplished.   I had the no sound from radio once last year and they rebooted system, took about 15 min. Did not even need a tech, service advisor did it.  Lots of these gremlins with the software driven vehicles. The Sun goes behind a cloud and a computer glitch surfaces.

In my 21 Silverado or now my 25, I never ever have had an over the air update come through, and I do manually go into the radio and check for the updates, maybe once a month or so.  For the no radio volume and turn signal noise, they told me they had to use the scan tool and preform the update, which took several hours.  For the Google Maps update, the service advisor did that one outside in the parking lot, which did take quite a while as I am an Iphone user so I had to download the Google email app, create an account, and then go through with the updates by logging into my radio.

    • This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.
    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
