2006 colorado intermittently fails to start. It cranks but won't start. The local chevy garage can't find any fault codes. It starts for him

    My 2006 Colorado also is having trouble starting and I had to have it towed. Was told it was an electrical problem and the system had to be replaced. Is this the right conclusion?

2006 Chevy Colorado. I just lost my truck ignition key! How can I start it without a key?

You can't. The security system and immobilizer is there to stop EXACTLY what you are trying to do, start the car without the key and security code credentials.

Your local dealership with make you a key based on the VIN Number. Then you have to reset the security system.

Or you can try a local mobile locksmith.

Or find the key. If you lost the key in the snow, look up 'Ring Finders', a global network of metal detectorists that find lost rings and keys.

What could be the problem with a 2006 chevy colorado that has ignition starting issues?

everything you mention indicates a failing starter motor. Pull it and have it bench tested by an accredited auto electrician as they can be repaired if the failure is not to bad.

2006 chevy colorado has power wont crank

Do you have a security light flashing in the dash when you try to start it, does the starter spin the engine for but not start it up? Have you tried spraying fuel into the intake during cranking? Do you have spark? Any fault codes? All this can be the problem and other things as well, have them all eliminated as the cause.

Out of the blue my chevy colorado won't start if i disconnect the battery then hook it reconnect after a couple minutes it will start

does the unit crank after it fails? I would check all of my battery connections you may have a loose ground either at the battery or at the engine. You may also have a bad starter relay located un the fuse panel under the hood

2006 chevy colorado out of the blue will not start. just makes clicking sound. Started it drove out of garage shut it off. Went back out 5 minutes later won't start. Clock even reset.

Sounds like a bad battery. A number of chain auto parts stores will check it and your charging system free. Before that, if your battery has removable caps, check the water level, if it's down, fill to the bottom of the fill rings and charge the battery, if you have a battery hydrometer, all the cells should have about the same charge level, if one or more show a lot lower than the others, battery is probably bad. Hope this helps.

My 2006 chevy colorado is making a clicking sound and won't turn over

Your Main Battery is Flat, get a jump start if its safe or remove the battery and hook it up to a charger. Maybe you left your lights on, or your alternator isnt charging the battery properly when your driving around. Sometimes this can be the bushes located in the alternator.
