Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2009 1500 V8 5.3L 265746 miles
Well it all started one day when i went to the store for lunch turned off my truck went in then came back out, went to start my truck the dash came on as normal, then when i went to start it i turned the key and lost all power everything was gone i coulndt even us my remote to lock/unlock. I tried boosting it and nothing you could just hear the starter click. Eventually i got it towed home took out the battery charged it put it back in and it worked.

Check out door switches. If one of them is failing the light keeps on.

4l60e transmission problem

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2007 lt crewcab 4.8 214696 miles
Bought the truck used, it ran fine for bout a year then transmission starts acting strange. Wouldnt shift out of second gear, troublecode po967, low voltage shift solenoid b. I changed that still no imporovement. Changed ignition switch cuz everyone was saying it had a voltage drop at the switch, still didnt fix it. I found a bad ground wire so i fixed that, kind of improved but now the speedometer doesnt work sometimes and when it isnt working it wont shift out of second gear. But when it is working i have to shift manually for it to work correctly other wise when taking off from a stop it will start off in 3rd gear. Troublecode still only shows p0967. One other thing aotomatic door locks dont work

The reverse or back up lights, interior dome light and horn.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2005 Single cab V6 205000 miles
They do not work, it was my bro -n- laws, he passed away, so idk the cause only that they haven't worked since I got it, I've checked fuses, got new bulbs, checked the wiring, sockets and plugs. There is no dome light on the inside of the truck, I guess he removed it now could it be an incomplete circuit causing it,? Idk need some advise please??

The problem with your 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 could be caused by a number of things. It could be a simple issue like a blown fuse or a more complex problem with the wiring or switch. To determine the cause of the problem, you'll need to do some further testing.
First, make sure the fuse is good. If the fuse is good, check the wiring for any obvious signs of damage such as fraying, corrosion, or loose connections. If you find any damaged wiring, it should be repaired or replaced. If the wiring appears to be in good condition, test the switch. If the switch is faulty, it will need to be replaced.

Electrical/won't start

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2006 Extended cab 4x4  199256 miles
Sorry in advance for the length of this. This truck has set for a couple of years the mice have found it home. I've not yet found chewed wires anywhere but there has to be some. I put a used battery but a good one in it and tried to start it nothing happened at all. I started looking into the fuses. I found several missing one of my boys must have needed some I guess. I don't know if I have found all that is missing and I'm not sure how to find out if ive got them all replaced. So I finally get some dash lights to come on battery light, brake light, and of course the lock down is also on. T… Read complete

No pwr No start. Fuse box? Etc

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 1998  159000 miles
I have 98 Chev 1500 4x4. I was trying to crank, would spin over but not crank, kinda like fuel pump bad. But spun over few times then no pwr. Like no battery pwr. Gauges didn't react when key turn to on position. Knew had bad starter also. So replaced starter, found body ground cable from hood to firewall broke and corroded. Replaced. But still no pwr. Checked fuse etc. Under hood.no blown fuses. Tried to find schematics for fuse box under hood but no success. Any tips on where I should start tracing wires etc or what I should check next? Any help greatly appreciated

3rd break light wont shut off.

Chevrolet Silverado 1500 2011 5.3 175000 miles
I replaced the whole break light and the bulbs too. When I shut the door and then off all the light and lock the door the 3rd break light wont shut off it will stay on till battery dies. I was told to cut yellow wire but that didn't fix it either. What can I do to have a break light and lights when driving but need help them to shut off when I shut off the lights. Where do I locate the problem fuse box under the hood or I was told maybe a fuse or a plug in under the break pedal I have unplugged all of them but it still stays on.
