Problem overview

Some GMC Sierra 1500 owners report experiencing issues with their vehicles not charging and failing to start or run. Common problems include intermittent starting issues often arising after 100,000 miles, which may be linked to a damaged battery, faulty battery connectors, or a malfunctioning starter. Additionally, some owners report hearing a clicking noise with no crank, attributed to a weak battery, corrosion on terminals, or poor electrical connections. Other reported causes of starting difficulties include a dead 12v battery, a dead key fob battery, and issues with air, fuel, or spark needed for engine operation. Symptoms may manifest as the truck not starting 90% of the time, a solid click from the starter, or occasional successful starts followed by normal operation unless the vehicle sits for an extended period. To troubleshoot these issues, owners are advised to check battery voltage, as low readings may indicate the necessity for a jump start or battery replacement. Addressing these issues systematically is crucial for effective diagnosis and resolution.
