2001 silverado security light on after accident

2011 Chevy Silverado, 1500 was in an accident. The air bags did not deploy. The drivers side head light is broken. It wouldn't start, and I replaced the battery. It starts now, but stops running as soon as the key is retuned to the run position. The security light is on in the message center. How is this fixed?

As Jeff said you may have to have it professionally serviced . A circuit board may have fractured in a PCM/ECM or BCM Body control module . A fuel pump circuit component may be damaged .

Security system may need to be "relearned". To do this first of I recommend hooking up a battery charger, turn the key to the start position attempt to start. Release the key to the run position and keep it there for 10-12 minutes or until the security light goes out. Return the key to the off position for 3 seconds then attempt to start again. If it doesn't stay running leave the key in run again until security light goes out. Turn off for 3 seconds and try to start again. Sometimes this needs to be done up to 3 times but usually goes on the first try. Good luck

SOURCE: chevy silverado 2006 lights "service air bag"

First of all you need to get this problem fixed ASAP. While the airbag light is illuminated, your SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module aka: the brain of your airbag system) shuts of power to the airbags. In which, if you are in an accident your airbags will not deploy while this light is illuminated. You need to take your vehicle to a GM dealership. A Tech 2 scantool is needed to retrieve the code from the SDM. Hopefully it won't be a costly repair, but is something that defineatly needs to be corrected soon. Good luck and hope all works well.

SOURCE: process to change fuel pump on 2001 chevy silverado 1500

take the six bed bolt loose and then take three buddies slide the bed back put in the new pump slide it back n place and put the bed bolts back in. if u drop the tank u can easily break the hard plastis lines that go to the fuel tank. u only have to take the fill lines and taillight wires loose this way its alot quicker, and easier.

SOURCE: 99 chevy silverado running rough and stalling.

the problem you are discribing would lead me to belive your fuel filter is clogged which is a simple fix 3 dollar part at any part store or on the worse hand your fuel pump itself could be weak you can open the gas tank cover and have another person turn the truck key to the on position without going far enough to start you will hear a faint whining noise if it is going bad or a louder noise if it is fine Good Luck

Lots of video help in the link. Some vehicles have a shim kit which you have to buy as an extra part kit. Mine does.

How to take off a steering wheel off a 2001 chevy silverado?

I seriously recommend letting a professional technician do this job for you. There is an air bag inside your truck's steering wheel and they are not to be messed with if you don't know what you're doing. Despite being a safety feature, air bag deployment is quite the violent event. There is also something called a "clock spring" that needs to be handled with care.

I have a 2005 Chevy 1500 4wd four door silverado and the airbag light came on and it has never been in an accident what could it be

Any component of the airbag system can have a miscommunication or bad connection with the wiring that leads to the module. The module is probably fine if it's detecting a problem and alerting the driver through the airbag light.

If the car hasn't deployed the air bag and it's never been in an accident, corrosion on the connections in the bumper area could have occurred, or a break in the wiring somewhere has caused this error to come to the driver's attention.
