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.

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
