Thank you Oz. Good job. Thank you for the video. Thank you for covering the basics. We sometimes get too involved with the complicated thoughts when we should always start simple. I appreciate your videos.

Thank you for the video. Your video helped me to get my truck back going.

Thanks Oz great video as usual.

That was the problem with mine too. The Negative battery terminal cable was faulty. I examined and cleaned the end that connects to the block and that worked.

Outstanding. Just had that problem with my 07 Chevy Silverado 1500.

Great video I enjoy learning from you..a gigantic thumbs up!

My 2003 Silverado, upon leaving a customers house., started fine. I stopped into auto parts store, was hit august day. Upon trying to start it. No crank. No start. Noted door chime all though no DIC or radio. Kept trying, finally started. Again when was engine at op temp hot air temp, no crank no start. Some time past , started fine. Then as tried to leave a grocery store nothing, no chime, radio, fuel pump whine. After lot of tries started. Starts fine when not in the upper 90s. Again turned hot took 15 minutes to get it started. 8 have clean the terminals, made sure are tight, clean all positive connections to the under hood fuse block.swwp relays, sprayed contact cleaner in the fuses, replaced ignition fuses. Replaced the ignition switch. I fixed it alright, now 4am or anytime during the day any temp. Sometimes will start for 1 or or more. Then can be 1 try will start. Ah modern vehicles. Rather have back my old novas on the cars swapped points for HEI never had a problem, the first 18 years, second 8, the SS 6 yrs ran hard very reliable. My new stuff ask what now will break?

Good video

wyattoneable yes sr. And the customer was already done with this vehicle

I have a 2012 Silverado (5.3). I believe the ground is bad. The truck has been acting weird lately. Some days, it'll act just like this where it's completely dead. A few times, all he electrical in the truck has shut off while driving but came right back. The battery and alternator checked out fine. My next step is to replace the negative cable, but I cannot find it anywhere online. I might try replacing the connector like you did and see if that solves it.

I have a question, my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 dash looks like yours. Does your engine have AFM . I can't seem to find a video on a way to disable AFM without buying the disabler? The other videos show that you have a digital gear display with a M selection after the D. Mine is like yours with D 3 2 1.

Ban ground wire some where a d it's not to far being the volts leave the battery and go to the fuse box pretty much immediately. But I'm not an electric guy it could be that it flows threw the box ok but when it's coming back into the box is where your problem lies. But I think it's safe to say bad ground somewhere. Just my soap box on it

Good morning I have a 2008 Silverado several auto single cap I was watching your videos and I'm having the same problems no crank no start but all my lights will come on even in the dashboard sports what could be the problem can you give me some advice How to fix it thank you my name is Vincent Garcia And your videos are awesome

Mslady41 it can be different things. I really don’t want to give you a false diagnosis without looking at it. To start off I would check battery voltage and move to the fuse box if it’s there. Now see if battery voltage is going to the ignition switch and if it is make sure when turning the key to the on position it distributes to voltage to the appropriate wires

Okay so I have a 2004 Silverado , if I start the truck after sitting it starts just fine , let it sit running for 10 minutes til it gets hot , turn it off , turn it on , nothing happens now if I disconnect my positive terminal, wait 5 minutes place it back on truck starts , why does anyone have this problem . Also I have new battery, new alternator and starter . I’ve gone through all the voltage checks I get 12 v on everything

If the bells and lights are on but doesn’t start

I've tried all those moves on my 2005 Nissan quest and nothing happens.
