2006 Chevrolet Silverado - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

There are some ideas in the link, but because of the Cruise Control issue, I think you need an auto electrician as things like this are controlled by ECM and BCM. https://www.google.com/search?q=2006+chevy+silverado+brake+lights+not+working https://www.google.com/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me ..

Well it would, the car's computer thinks you stole one and put it in your truck :>D https://www.fixya.com/support/r29874205-need_vehicle_radio_code and https://www.fixya.com/cars/r29912554-changing_battery_not_create_problems ..

check the wiring connection

Check the belt tensioner they squeal when they fail due to constant spring pressure on the pulley> if you replace it I would suggest replaceing the belt unless it is new, check the alternator bearings ( spin it by hand with the belt off> they are known to fail)finally clean all pully and make sure the belt is perfectly clean and nothing on it before installing it. NOTE:Never get any grease on a serp belt it will make noise.

Is the security light lit in the instrument cluster ? Anti-theft will disable fuel injectors after a second or two if anti-theft has a problem .

Before you start replacing parts ,need a little more information . Maybe able to save you some time an money . Does the horn work when you push the horn button , does the air bag light stay lit in the instrument cluster ? The button lights for the bottons on the steering wheel are lit by the BCM - body control module . Interior Lamps Dimming The second group includes lamps which may be dimmed. This group may use a combination of vacuum fluorescent (VF) illumination and incandescent lamps. When the ignition switch is turned to the RUN position, the radio's vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays turn on at maximum brightness. When the park lamps are on, all incandescent back lighting turn on at the dimming level indicated by the I/P dimmer switch. At the same time all vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays dim to match the indicated dimming level. The panel dimmer switch potentiometer is an input to the BCM. When the driver selects a dimming setting by moving the I/P dimming switch potentiometer, all incandescent back lighting lamps are provided with a specific voltage. When the I/P dimmer switch is moved from MIN to MAX, all vacuum fluorescent (VF) displays, as well as all incandescent back lighting respond from minimum intensity to maximum brightness in response to the I/P dimmer switch. The following switches and components have back lighting when the park lamps are on: • The instrument panel cluster (IPC) • Radio, front and rear • Window and heated seat switches • Garage door opener switch • Selectable ride switch • Roof beacon switch • Power take off (PTO) switch • Headlamp leveling switch • Rear wheel steering mode select switch • HVAC control assembly • Headlamp and panel dimmer switch • Transfer case shift control switch • PSIR disable switch • PRNDL lamps • Traction control switch • Steering wheel control switches • Fog lamp switches Could be the clock spring inside the steering coulmn ,under the steering wheel if horn doesn't work ,air bag light lit etc...

I'd take it to a transmission shop if I were you:

It sounds like the grounding is not good.

Check all the earths in the circuit especially the one from the engine to the chassis and make sure they are clean and tight.

What about battery? Recharge or replace battery, try if it cranks. If not, write me or find a mechanic. If yes, check voltage with engine running - it should be about 13+ Volts. In the opposite case, check the alternator.

Transmission needs rebuild

DTC P0053 HO2S Heater Resistance Bank 1 Sensor 1 • DTC P0135 HO2S Heater Performance Bank 1 Sensor 1 Important: Whenever the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) heaters are commanded ON with a scan tool, they will continue to be pulsed ON once per second until the ignition is turned OFF for 30 seconds. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Command the HO2S heaters ON with a scan tool. Wait 15 seconds to allow the HO2S heater current to stabilize. Observe the affected HO2S Heater Current parameter with a scan tool. Is the HO2S Heater Current parameter within the specified range? 0.25-1.375 A

jack up rear of truck and secure it put trans in neutral and go under vehicle and move driveshaft up and down and spin it back and forth see if there is any play the reason for jacking it up is to relieve pressure on the driveline without weight of vehicle on it

You will need to buy a manual to get the diagrams. You can get them on eBay maybe.

Most gas engines would be between 700 - 900 RPM in drive or park. Idle speed is computer controlled depending on load.

Most likely the Schrader valve is jammed and you will need to change it. It is looks like a inter tube valve an is located where you are trying to attach the Freon to feed the system. Take a small screw driver and see if the valve moves down when you push on it and if it sprays Freon out. Be sure you are not overfilling the system.

The orifice tube is located in the line of the high pressure side of the system it maybe at the condenser or in the high pressure line. You should be able to feel a crimp in the line and the is the stop for the orifice. I believe the o6 is in the line and as I said there is a crimp in the line where the orifice is located.

Where have you tested for the ground? Is there power to the cooling fan?
