Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Silverado 1500 owners report experiencing random no-start issues after heavy rain, often accompanied by a clicking sound and shaking at speeds between 72-80 mph. These symptoms may be attributed to moisture-related electrical problems, where water intrusion affects the starter motor or ignition system, leading to the no-start condition and clicking noises. Additionally, a faulty starter motor could prevent proper engagement, resulting in the clicking sound when attempting to start the engine. The shaking at higher speeds may indicate engine misfires or fuel delivery issues, potentially linked to faulty spark plugs, fuel injectors, or the fuel pump. Furthermore, some owners find that the shaking could stem from suspension or wheel-related problems, such as imbalanced tires or worn suspension components. To accurately diagnose these issues, it is advisable for owners to consult a professional mechanic who can conduct a thorough diagnostic check and recommend necessary repairs.
