won't start.....new starter & battery
Hi! I've got an '05, Z51, 6 speed. In the last couple of months, it's had the starter , brakes, battery & tires replaced. Now the engine light is back on and there is a notice that the Left Front Tire is flat (it is not). It makes no noise when trying to start, but all the gauges, etc comes on. The battery gauge shows fully charged. Any ideas as to what I should check before taking back to dealership? Thanks in advance.

Also since it's a 6 speed manual when you parked it did you leave it in reverse?

Hi! It was driven as recently as 2 days ago. Always parked in reverse (learned that one very early on LOL). Driven many times since new battery. Also, battery shows fully charged and no 'clicking' when trying to start. In fact, no noise at all. Everything turns on but the engine. I will add, that that it's been mostly short distances, very few lengthy drives.

The guages are all alive and well. The odd thing is that it says "left front tire is flat". I've triple checked. Not even a little low (they're new tires, but never hurts to check).

OK. Still won't start. The Clutch switch checked and seems fine. Everything still turning on like normal. Still getting notice that "left front tire is flat" - it's a new tire, checked anyway, full of air. Any other ideas? (thanks in advance, again)

Hello again! First, I want to THANK YOU ALL for your suggestions! We tried all of them to no avail and returned to the dealer. It was the starter! We had just replaced it about 6 weeks ago. Fortunately, the dealership honored their warranty & work. They replaced it with another new one. Let's hope this i the end of these issues.

You mentioned that one of your tires shows no air pressure, but it is not flat when you look at it.
You need to have the TPMS sensor in that tire replaced (dead TPMS sensor battery) ... Get it done at any good tire store.

To add to Turbo's post: you have a possible 15 year old car. TPMS are supposed to last about 10 years. If you replaced just one and the rest are original, well, you know what you'll probably be doing soon or sooner. Good luck.
