same on my 2004 Silverado... When exiting the vehicle I've found that I have to lift the exit handle all the way up to engage the switch behind the door panel. After doing this a few times the switch seemed to start working... (And radio would turn off...) If it does it again I'll be removing the door panel and cleaning or replacing a switch...
Hi Maury, Seems you have a number of different problems at the same time. The grinding sound when pushing the clutch pedal would seem to be the clutch thrust release bearing, which is located inside the bell housing and requires the removal of the gearbox to replace. The warning lights should come on each time the ignition is switched on and then they should extinguish after a few seconds. The illumination of these lights is a fail safe system to show that all warning systems are active. The radio will go off during the period when the starter is engaged as a relay shunts all power to the starter during that procedure. The starter motor uses more power from the battery than any other system. The manufactures have taken this into consideration when designing the circuitry and decided as many others have, to adopt the operation. If when starting from cold this does not happen and the radio plays, it is indicating either excessive drawing of power by the starter and may also be the cause of the grinding noise you experience? Regards John
Sounds like an Ignition Module or similar device. Does it have an alarm? Turn the key to ON - not start - and put into Drive and then back into Park. It may be the shifter isn't fully engaged. Also, w/your FOOT ON THE BRAKE shift to Neutral and try to start it.
Your alarm is keep your system from starting. When the alarm system fails, you have 1 of two choices, if it is a after market alarm then just disconnect the alarm, if it is a manufacture alarm then you will need to take it to a company to have then replace the alarm or disconnect it. Doing so yourself you can hurt your vehicle more then help it
It is a bad (leaky) electrolytic capacitor in the dash board that cost a few dollars. The dealer wants to install a whole new dashboard assembly for big $$$.
heater motor has a short in it createing a severe draw that takes voltage away from the igniton switch also if it has been doing this for a while? then you may have to replace or repair the plug on the ignition switch
