I have a 01 Chevy Tahoe 5.3, No start issue, which driving me crazy,hoping to find some help. I would turn the ignition key,,nothing,, and sometimes it start with no problems, but does happens its just a click from the fuse box in the truck, no power to my dash,only the battery indicator, and lights to the traction control area. I change the starter relay,no change,checked my battery connection, its good. I have changed the electrical switch of the ignition, thinking it would solve the problem,, but two weeks later, I'm having a start issue again. Help.
I have a 2001 Tahoe and walked out this morning to go to church and it wouldn't start. No crank or anything. Voltmeter looks good @ 12 volts but it will do nothing. No warning signs, no other times, just will not even try to start. Does anyone have any suggesstions?
Did you ever find the cause I am having the same problem with my 2013 3/4 Suburban.
I went to start the Suburban yesterday and it would not start - in either park, drive nor neutral. It would not crank at all - like a dead battery but all the lights were on and the windows worked fine. I had the "Service Traction Control" and the "Service Stabilitytrack" messages on.
I then called for a jumpstart and it started right up but then I had two new messages on "Service battery charging system" and "service trailer brake controller." The other two messages had now been replaced with these two.
I plugged my travel trailer in and the truck would not see trailer. It normally tells me that the trailer is connected and I can see the brake gain when I press the brake pedal, but this time none of that was happening.
I had it towed to the dealer 150 miles away but the dealer says they can't find an issue and can't replicate it. I am about 1500 miles from home traveling with a trailer with the family and now I do not feel safe with this SUV afraid of being stranded or worse without brakes while towing over a mountain pass.
Anyone have any ideas? It looks like other people have ran into this for years now and GM has not fixed it.
I have a 2005 Chevy Tahoe. It has been the worst vehicle I have every purchased. It started with the transmission going out while my family and I were on vacation. Then the gauge cluster with the speed, tach, pressure gauges went out. I have had both of those replaced. Now my AC decides when it wants to work and when it doesn't in the summer and the heat does the same thing in the winter. I have to pull off the road, cut the car off and then sometime it will work. Now, most recently, it has decided not to start. All the gauges, lights and every works but it just will not start? Any suggestions?
I have a 2004 chevy suburban that cranks but wont start. It started to sputter an i would be able to pull over an let it sit a minute an able to start it again and be on my way. Well now my vehicle will crank but not start. We have checked the fuses , checked for spark, checked the fuel pressure. Tested everything we can think of. The fuel pump is working but idk why it wont start up . i need help because my vehicle was running perfect til this issue started. No codes show up either
I am still having a intermittent dead ignition when key is turned to start engine. I have full dash operation, volts do not drop when problem happens. I have changed battery and ignition switch, but problem still happens. This problem has been sense new and dealer has had it several times but could not find problem.I have tried setting alarm and disarming , wiggling key, moving tilt up and down, but can not locate problem area. Truck will start when it feels like it. No set time from when it happens to when it starts like new. Head lights and interior lights dont even dim. I have over 100k now and it seems to be happening more often.I have seen plenty of complaints for same problem but no repairs that stop problem. Can anyone help that has fixed problem? Thank you tdarr
I have a 99 Chevrolet Tahoe and I'm having exactly the same problems turn the key to where the lights come on then it said if you turn it off turn it on turn it off turn it on back and forth and he eventually will start but I can't figure out 0the main issues it has something to do with the security system
Hey, so I've had my 99 Tahoe for about two years now. I have replaced the battery and the cables, and new spark plugs. About four months ago my SES light started coming on intermittently and about every other start it'd either shut off or turn on. Now it stays lit up all the time. I never had it looked at. Well, a few days ago, I went out to go to work and it won't start. It cranked over just fine but wouldn't start up, as soon as I took the key out of the start position. I'm not exactly sure whats going on. I let it sit for a couple days and just took it out and it fired right up and i drove it a couple miles. When I got home, I turned it off and started it about four times because I no longer trust it as the reliable car I thought it was. Any thoughts? I thought it might be the fuel pump. Gosh I hope not. Anyways, thanks. David
Sensor in your security sensor and I wouldn't know the first thing about fixing it on having the same issue turn the key on in the on position

anyways so do that for a minute turn the key on the on position 10 minutes leave it on and turn it off for a few minutes turn it on leave it on for a few minutes turned off do that for about 30 minutes and then just trying to click it to where it turns over in to see what it does it says security sensor and I wouldn't have a clue on how to fix it
I have a 1994 suburban with a 2 day old battery. It was originally replaced a month ago and when the new one sounded like it was a drained battery (slow cranking), Autozone replaced it for free. Said the CCA was 163 and it should be 800. The technician said all else checked out (starter, alternator, etc) and it was probably a defective battery. Yesterday, after driving 200 miles on the new 2 day old battery, I stopped for 1 hour, and it would not start. No sound at all. No cranking, or clicking. Lights worked, radio, etc. I jiggled the gear shifting selector, pumped the brakes numerous time, put it in neutral, and back again into park and repeated sequence this 4-5 times. Suddenly, there was a small short cough, then tried to start it again, and a longer weird sound, tried again and experienced a longer sound, then it started right up. Drove it to a storage facility where we keep it intermittently. They have started it number times without an issue. Is there a relay that goes from pushing the brake pedal to the starter that allows starting? Any ideas what the issue is?
