I had a 2001 Chevy Silverado Z71 My security light is going off In my truck will not stay running for more than 2 seconds I have been all over them net and can't seem to solve my problem. I do not have the money or the time to take that route to a dealer. I really just wanna find a way to take the security system out of the truck im going to be putting a remote starter in it. I just need to figure out a way to get the security light out

Did you ever find the fix for this. My tahoe is doing the exact same thing. I know the battery is good because I changed it myself with a brand new one. When I turn the key I hear 1 click and thats it. Everything works lights, horn, windows, seats. etc......

I have a 2007 suburban and it has the same problem. It upsets me that we paid this much for a vehicle and it does this. I am afraid for my with to even take it to the store because we never know if it is going to start or not. So if someone knows what is causing it PLEASE help. I think it has to do with the security system but idk.

I bit the bullet and took my vehicle to the dealership. Next time this happens have someone tap on the starter with a hammer or big screw driver. From what I gathered the starter even though is bad will on occasion not work. I had mine replaced and it worked like a charm. I was introduced by a friend to a mechanic at a certain dealership and he showed me after the truck was towed there. Sure enough the truck wouldn't start after being towed but he tapped on the starter while I turned the key and it worked. STARTER REPLACED....everything works fine now. Make sure you don't unplug the battery as this erases any trouble codes in the computer for them to look at. It's worth a shot next time this happens to you.

#346 of 375 04 Chevy Surb 1500 Z71 4WD wont start by chem4life93

OK I got a 04 Chevy Surb 1500 Z71 4WD that wont start. She cranks and trys to start but wont.
 
OK what I have done so far:
Started it with Starting fluid( she ran, so no ignition issues)
Fuel pump can be heard priming & fuse is OK, Replaced the pressure regulator, (fuel was present when replaced)
Used some rather nasty words!!
 
Any suggestions on my next step?

OK so I rented a fuel pressure gauge and had no pressure at to filter. So I replaced the feul pump and she started right up.
 
I few hints if anyone is interested in doing this on ther own such as myself:
 
Before you start you must disconnect the power and remove the gas cap.
1. jack the rear end up and put it on stands .
2. remove drive shaft and clips on the heat sheild (that is on the tank)
3 remove filler & vent hose.
4. put pressure on the tank with a floor jack
5. remove stap bolts
6 lower tank all the way down ( you have to stop half way and push the hoses over the axal). The front of the tank will rest on a slanted part of the frame and the rear of the tank will rest on the ground.(just enough room to remove the pump)
7. remove switches, fuel line on pump.
8. liquid wrentch the retaining nut and remove as much rust as possible.
9. remove retaining nut and remove pump.
10. reverse the procedure to replace the pump.
 
I hope this help someone out there
