My 2005 Silverado 4x4 automatic wont start. All dash lights and auto headlights come on. I have 12.8V at the battery. I replaced the starter relay in the fuse box and when I turn the key, I don't even get a click.

  I have the same problem, and it is intermittent. Most of the time it starts right up. On rare occasions, without warning, I turn the key and dash lights + headlights come on, but no power to starter. A combination of lock/unlock doors both manually and remotely, key in and out of ignition, sometimes open and close drivers door, and you have to hold your mouth right...(sounds like voodoo?)...it will start right up. It has nothing to do with the battery, charging system, key, or anything else I can determine. Must have to do with computer, sensors, starter relay circuits or whatever. When this happens, it does not throw a code, so I can't trace it. Hope somebody can help us...
