I started up my chevy Avalanche leaving the store it turned on no problem but when I went to put it in gear the truck just turned off and will not start or turn over its just dead. I also noticed that the check engine light and the temp. gage on the rear view mirror both stayed on even after I removed the keys from the ignition.

    your belt can still jump a tooth ,when you fit the belt.about 500 miles later you must do the tension-er again .all you do is loosen the tension-er nut the tension-er ,will then take up the slack on the belt and then tighten it again.but you seem to be saying two things.the other thing you say is no clicking nothing .by that it can mean your battery needing charged,and your starter is not working .if the starter is not working ,and you have a good charge to the battery .then you have a sticking solenoid.check the wiring to it.is clean and tight.

On many cars, if the battery is dead, it locks the key in the ignition. Put a battery charger on the car or replace the battery and give it a shot.

Good luck.

SOURCE: Engine won't start. Dash lights flash rapidly when key turned.

the battery says 12 volts but may be dropping to 4 or 5 under a load...i would suggest jumpstarting the car and see what happens.the battery should read in the high 12 volts and not less than 9.5 under cranking. the dash lights go out on your car when starting,and the alarm will go off ,and disable the ignition if the voltage is too low in cranking the car because the computer will shut it down and activate the anti theft.....check your battery posts are tight. best of luck

SOURCE: 2006 chevy trailblazer will not start/turn over,

Sounds like the starter is the culprit,when the brushes in it are almost gone they will work intermittently and if the brushes aren't touching then you won't even get a click because of the lack of ground for the pull in portion of the starter solenoid winds.The next time it won't start,give the starter a tap or two to confirm this.It should start if i'm right.The starter is under the passengers side just to the rear of the front tire,bolted to the bell housing.

How many gear shifts solenoids on a 2005 Chevy Avalanche

The 2005 Chevy Avalanche is available with different transmission and shift options, which can affect the number of transmission shift solenoids present.

However, generally, the 4-speed automatic transmission (4L60E) used in the 2005 Chevy Avalanche typically has a total of 7 transmission shift solenoids. These solenoids are used to control the activation and deactivation of the transmission's clutches and valves, allowing the vehicle to shift gears smoothly and seamlessly.

It's important to note that the number of transmission shift solenoids may vary depending on the year, model, and configuration of the Chevy Avalanche.

2007 Chevy Avalanche 3rd and 4th gear are not working

From what you are describing, it is possible either the 3-4 actuator is no longer playing with the 3rd & 4th clutch packs, only way to know for certain is to hook up the good ol' pressure gauge to trans. system, yeah, you think the Chevrolet dealer should know this right?

Sell it now if you can!

2003 Chevy Avalanche won't start (incorrect gear indicator)

PRNDL Display
The instrument panel cluster (IPC) displays the selected gear position as determined by the powertrain control module (PCM). The IPC receives a class 2 message from the PCM indicating the gear position. The PRNDL display blanks if:
• The PCM detects a malfunction in the transmission range switch circuit.
• The IPC receives a class 2 message indicating the park position and the column park switch indicates a position other than park, open input.
• The IPC detects a loss of class 2 communications with the PCM.

Could be the transmission range sensor . Testing would need to be done , hooking up a scan tool ! Doing electrical testing etc...

Did you have the vehicle control modules checked for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble code's ? Not going to a part's store an having it checked . Need to have a professional type scan tool hooked up , check code's in the BCM - body control module , the instrument cluster can also have DTC'S stored . Auto part stores can not check these code's .Viewing engine sensor data to the PCM to see what the real temp. is . Coolant temp. sensor is an input to the PCM/ECM - engine computer , this info is sent to the instrument cluster over the class 2 serial data network .Do you know what a automotive communication network is ? Plus GM had stepper motor problems in their instrument cluster's from 2003 to 2006 . The stepper motor is what controlls that needle .

Started my 2003 chevy z-71 silverado and recieved a warning saying reduced engine power ,once I put the truck in gear and pressed the accellarator the vehicle would not exceed 20mph

Mine did the same thing this morning. I was on my way to school when it started sputtering, so i went to the store to put gas in it, because it was kinda low. Then when i went to start it up to leave the store, it was dead, so i got a jump. Then when i went to go take off it took forever to accelerate, and it would only top out at 15mph. Have you fixed yours yet? Im thinking it may have something to do with the battery or alternator

Loud clicking dash

Possible HVAC blend door motor skipping over the gear drive due to a jammed blend door. Also it could be valve train noise in the engine, I would need to hear it really.

Chevy avalanche transmission problems

Hello;
Are you getting the check engine light? If so the electronics may have gone out. You may not need a rebuild but you won't know till you pull the oil pan on the transmission and inspect the contents. You may also have lost the neutral safety switch. It is mounted on the drivers side of the transmission. Check those out first and let me know what codes you get.
For Ponchoboy; the clunking and hissing you hear are teminal root causes. Drop the oil pan and if it has a lot of filings and metal it is time for a rebuild.
Hope this helps; Rate me highly;
