WONT START !!!

[Thomas Kerner]

I just bought a 2018 Tahoe LT w/28k miles last week and ran perfect until
Last night. I wasn’t home no longer than 30 min and I tried to leave. I pushed the start button and all the lights went out and it kept clicking. The lights in the back were flicking on a off. I tried again this morning and when I got in everything was normal until I pressed the start button and the same thing happened again...I have tried jumping it and that didn’t work I put cables on for like 20 min and nothing!!! I want to lose my mind on someone right now!!! Anyone know why the problem could be? Thanks

Take the battery off and get it tested and report back. Autozone test them for free.

Might also try with a different fob or check the battery in yours.

I have tried both key fobs and it does it with both...pretty much at a loss right now

I barely got 3 years on my original battery. It was starting a little slower then normal but never died on me. The dealer prorated the battery for a new AC Delco. They also changed the battery in my remote.

These vehicles do strange things when you need a new battery. Probably all late model vehicles do.

I don't get good life with Delco stock batteries, 2-3 years and mine are garaged

Agree with all that is posted. Batteries are kind of hard to predict so I wouldn't quite jump to "I want to lose my mind on someone right now..." mode just yet. I once purchased a GM CPO vehicle and drove it home, next morning the starter went out and it wouldn't start. Not something anyone could have predicted with "CPO" inspection and processing a vehicle.

Define "Just bought"? Talking like days? If so ring up the dealer you purchased it from and they may at least send a tow to get it in and check it out.

Battery/Ground/Postitive Cable. Check those. I just replaced the positive cable after having 4x4/Stabilitrack issues. I would turn on the blinkers and the windshield wipers would move along with the radio flickering. Positive cable did the trick.
