2018 Chevy Silverado - No Crank, No Start - Auto Repair

Your a bad ass mechanic I did the exact thing to my truck and it started loose cable

Yooo! Literally all it needed was a little wiggle hahaha thank you

Pull ground first bud.

My 2014 Silverado does much the same but will start with a 2-3 turns of the key. Very intermittent and unpredictable. I just swapped the starter relay to see if that helps. Time will tell.

This guy could use a new coat eh? Working on car batteries will eat any clothing. The battery acid is unforgivable.

Get rid of the crappy starter connector and cut the plug on the starter and put a ring terminal on the starter because those plugs break and the heat destroys them and you will never have to mess with that plug again

So my issue is i get a click no turnover, do this like 7 or 8 times and it starts. Justbhad the starter replaced and its the same issue. You think it's a ground issue? Going to check the connection in this video today

Currently going through no crank no start i jumped starter and it engages but no start any ideas?👀

You, Sir, are a true GEM !! after almost a YEAR of intermittent No Crank-No Start and a head scratchin' "Mechanic" throwing parts at it (Multiple Relays; Starter; Fuses)(on my Dime!!! you point out DAY 1 - Mech 101 and I fix it myself !! Thank you so much for the tips, tricks and PURE diagnostic mind-set ! I'm Subscribed!

Very helpful thats what was wrong with mine!! Thank you!!!

I have a 14 Silverado and I just get a click and no power when turning car over and the power and all lights go off and on when key is Halfway turn my negative cable is really hot any idea for why this is happening ?

Had to sub I have a no start on truck intermittently I think it's the battery fuse box but it was a good fix.

Thank you!! Fixed the issue myself thanks to this video!

But how are we going to know if this truck is bad because he don’t show you what they doing before that’s not work

I do have an Escalade 2018 and I did replace
the connection go to the starter and still is not starting

Thanks for sharing God bless 🙏

You can tell this guy knows what hes doing. Great video man.

Good catch but none of the 2013 - 2018 Chevy or GMC 1500 No Crank that has come into our shop was that simple, I would suggest anyone with a charged battery that's having a no crank issue on these trucks thoroughly clean all of the ground and power contacts of the starter and battery.

Great video, Thanks! I love the way you got the tire off, Brilliant!

My 2018 gmc sierra is having the issue no idea if it is a connector or a starter either way it is stressing me out! Will find out once I finish my set at work

Thank you 🙏 I had the same problem.

Thank you for the video! My 2018 Silverado was doing the exact same thing. Pushed that connector back in and it instantly started, but having trouble keeping it connected. Does the grease help with the connection?

You should not apologize at all for “not getting us a better repair”. This was perfect. A lot of us novices might have jumped to conclusions and just thrown $100+ at a new starter and then, been disappointed when it didn’t fix the problem. This video showed the value of thorough test driven diagnosis. You started at one end of the system and worked your way to the other until you found the issue. This was worth every second for your audience.

My truck (same year, same make, 1500 custom 5.3L) has the exact same "start-up" symptoms. No dash lights, no clicking, everything except the engine light on, is this the most likely/only scenario? Loose cables?

I'm going to pull the wheel and cover tonight after work and see what I find but I've had just about every other aspect of the starter checked by my more electronically/mechanically brother and no issues

My wife has a no crank no start issue with her 07 Caddilac CTS…when it was running the gauges would stop working (gas… temp ….odometer…etc) and the ac would stop working at the same time then after wouldn’t crank it start. Any clues what that could be?

Great job finally figuring out their problem... nothing like not having wheels when u got someplace to go
