2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 electrical problems

Filed Jan 12, 2024 · Electrical · NY · fire

A little whild after turning the truck off I noticed smoke coming from inside the truck. After putting out the fire, I inspected the wires to find that the blower motor had shorted out and caught fire. I have had a similiar issue with my 2003 as well but was able to catch the issue before any fire broke out. There needs to be a recall on this part. Thankfully noone was hurt but this is a definite safety issue.

The passlock light comes on and the truck won't start. The interior lights gets bright then dim. Back and forth. When the passlock comes on it will keep the truck from starting for days at a time. I'm afraid to drive the truck anywhere

Randomly my truck will go in engine power reduced and top speed is 35 MPH. It happened a couple of time on the interstate. The code that pops up is p2135 and I looked it up on line. The internet is full of forms and videos about this problem. Everything on the internet points to the throttle position sensor. I've replaced it twice and replaced the throttle body twice and wiring twice. I put truck in the shop three times. Spent a good $1500 trying to fix the problem and it still pops up every couple of months.

In late february 2019, I acquired a truck from a used dealership that I have done business with before. Upon obtaining this vehicle I started having issues right away. First issue I encountered, I was driving back to kansas city from lebanon,mo and all of the sudden my brakes went out and my steering locked up and truck started jerking really bad. I drove like this all the way home and took it to a mechanic and low and behold it's cost me $100 to repair the problem. Shortly after I noticed my truck was having issues with getting up to speed while getting on the highway. I would end up having the petal to the floor and it would still act like it didn't want to accelerate almost like a delay and then slowly gain speed. It felt as if it was slipping or it just wasn't getting any power. My oil pressure sensor had went out without me knowing at the time so I thought the problem had to deal with my oil pump. I finally took it back to the mechanic I used before and he ran a diagnostic test on my truck due to him not finding any issues besides my oil pressure sensor was defective. The diagnostic came back with multiple codes and 3 of them had to deal with the transmission. I decided to take my truck to my brother and have him look at it for a second opinion. Upon doing so he test drove and inspected the truck entirely and concluded that he didn't feel there was an issue with the truck at all. He ran his own diagnostic on it as well but his cane back with no codes that came up at all. So I drove off confused because of all the different information that was given to me on top of the problems I knew I was having because the truck wasn't running like it did when I drove it off the lot. Some time past and then another problem. My brakes and rotors were trashed and needed to be replaced asap and then my odometer started reading service air bag and would not go off.

I parked my truck the blower worked fine got in it 2 hours latter and it did not work.the wires to my blower melted and hot almost started a fire in my truck. No smell no sign of the wires getting hot. The only thing I noticed was the control panel got hot when it was on so I kept it off. If I had not taken it to the shop 2 days after my blower stoped working I might not have my truck. It might have caught fire with my kids and I in it or with my 17 year old driveing. A recall on this part would be nice or find out why it is doing this.

My blower motor wiring harness at the resistor lightly caught on fire today. I was diving on the highway with the fan on full blast. No one was hurt and I managed to stop and turn off the truck info time to stop further damage. The resistor was extremely hot you the touch after. This is a common problem that I've read about all over. My VIN did not however pull a recall...
