GM Bulletin PIT5689M: No Restart After Auto Stop, No Crank, Dead Battery — Check This Passenger-Side Firewall Ground
GM bulletin PIT5689M addresses no-restart after Auto Stop, intermittent no-crank, dead battery, glow plug faults, transfer case errors, and multiple warning lights on Silverado and Sierra trucks. The root cause is often a loose or damaged engine-to-body ground at the passenger-side firewall (G132/G134). Inspecting and securing this ground can prevent widespread electrical faults and unnecessary parts replacement.
