Was driving approximately 60 mph and all of a sudden the pickup shut itself off and the doors unlocked. Then it started back up and the doors locked. Pulled over and it was running but I shut it off (mistake, maybe!). Checked the oil and there was no oil showing on the dipstick and the pickup won't do anything when we turn on the key - it's completely dead. Any suggestions?
Running with no oil is death for the motor ( Seized). When the alternator stopped working because the engine stopped the door lock control opened the door locks as it said you were below the required speed to have them locked

I really dont think its the ignition module.Those are a little expensive so i wouldnt buy one until you sure thats the problem.I would turn the key to the on position and listen for the fuel pump.The pump only runs for about 3-5 secs when you first do it.If you dont hear anything thats the ploblem.If you can hear the pump come on try to use starting fluid to get it started.If it starts and runs fine then the fuel pump doesnt put out enough pressure to start the truck and need to be replaced.If that doesn t work take a spark plug out of the motor and plug it back into the wire.When you try to start the truck it should make a bright blue spark.If the spark is not bright and fast it could be many things like that plug or that wire all the plugs and wires or the distibutor cap or the rotor.It could also be the coil.If you have the money you should replace all of that stuff.If your on a budget like me I would change the distibutor cap and rotor and see if that help.If the plugs and wires are fairly new change the coil.You should do your plugs and wires after so many mile or time period.Im sure its not the Ignition control module.The guy at the part store always says that might be the problem and ive never bought one yet.My truck has 250,000 miles on it and still going.

Could be the latch mechanism for the door is sticking. You could try using some white grease on the latch and the contact where the latch hooks to. You can purchase the grease from most auto parts stores. You will not need to use alot. Just apply a small amount to the mechanisim and then work it in using the manual handle. Then open and close the door several times to feel the "action". Then apply a little more and repeat. This should loosen the latch and get it working again. Also make sure that none of the tension springs have come loose on the latch. And check the seal around the door and make sure it is not pinched and has a proper fit.

May want to look at replacing the wiper circuit board.It is located on the firewall adjacent to the wiper motor and has a some what square black cover with 3 torx screws and wireing harness pluged into the side.We had a truck that every time you washed it the wipers would stay on until it dryed out.You can try removing it and spaying it down with contact cleaner just watch the brease on the two contact tips.Well hope this helps.

There was not a recall, but there was a class action settlement where GM agreed to extend the warranty on certain vehicles for this problem. Check www.gmspeedometerrecall.com to see if you qualify.

Obviously the low oil sent a message to shut down as there is no electrical response at all. I'm wondering if there is some sort of reset or code that can be used to reset it so it will start again.
