Some Chevrolet Avalanche owners report experiencing electrical issues, including speaker pops, dashboard flashing, and door locks clicking while driving. These problems may manifest as the vehicle doors unlocking and locking multiple times, indicating potential electrical system malfunctions. Additionally, dashboard components, such as the clock-radio and OnStar system, may flicker on and off, suggesting underlying electrical issues. Owners have also noted power loss while driving, accompanied by a persistent check engine warning light after restarting the vehicle, which could indicate a more serious electrical problem. Intermittent speaker functionality and door locks cycling on the highway are further symptoms of these electrical system concerns. Common causes may include faulty wiring, a malfunctioning battery, a weak alternator, or corroded battery connections. It is crucial to address these electrical problems promptly to ensure the vehicle's safety and proper operation.
