'05 Crew Cab Problems!


Recommended Posts

Posted

First the CD Player would not play or even switch to cd mode with a disc in. I pulled all radio fuses and put them back in. All good. Then I had a cd playing and I muted it and after a couple minutes the radio switched on and the clock reset to 12:00. Now I have no CD or XM Radio!!!

 

So I get home and wash the truck and notice there is some cracking paint on the bottom rear of the back door frames. Where the sill is welded to the upright supports.

 

I am definately taking it in but has anyone had these problems??

 

I am really pissed with the quality of this truck. I have a 10 year old truck that is finally having paint crack - but a 5 month old truck?

Where was your truck built? I'll bet the paint quality of various 2005 trucks corresponds with build plant.

 

(My 2005 2500HD, gunmetal gray, was built in Pontiac, MI.)

May radio stop playing and reset the clock to 12:00 just once last fall. I have no similar problems since.....my inital thought was the problem occurred because of a burned CD but I may be wrong

I don't want to hyjack this thread but, I had the same problem as SLEDR did. It's happened twice since I bought the truck 1 year ago. It just powered down and the clock went to 12:00, but all my presets were saved...odd.

at the dealer i seen this alot the gm radios seem to have all sorts of probs. cds stuck in player, display says (lock), and i always seem to see the paint pelling off on the radio buttons, they dont have a fix for it we end up sending everyone of them to the ac delco repair phacility (sorry cant spell that word.lol) and get a new one.

Delphi has had a lot of difficulty with paint on the buttons lately. It's a combination of things they don't have a handle on yet...that's all I'm at liberty to say. Even the pricey NAV radios have the same problem.

 

My CD player died after 5 months in my '05 and the chime never seems to know how it wants to function. I'm hoping when I get one of the NAV radios and the 6 disc changer my problems go away.

 

The paint on my truck is okay, but seems a bit on the soft side. My truck came from Canada.

    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
