Why does my Chevy Duramax not crank up?

Why does my Chevy Duramax not crank up?

So after trouble shooting the ignition by sending power (12v) through the crank fuse and turning the key, found that all wiring is good. Would have to be one of the ignition fuses. Checked all fuses with test light and found 40amp ignition fuse to be bad. Replaced and attempted to start. All working as it should at this time.

Is there a crank fuse on a Duramax?

Batteries are hot. You can take a power probe and shoot 12v to starter solenoid wire and it will crank and run fine. I traced that wire back to the fuse panel under the hood on the driver’s side. There is a CRANK fuse as well as a starter relay in that panel.

Why is the tow / haul button not working on my Duramax?

When you turn the key to start, the fuse gets 12v but the starter relay is not getting voltage to the solenoid wire. Also noticed that the tow/haul button isn’t working and it was before the issue. Any suggestions? swap the relay with another in the box and see if the relay is the problem. 5 people found this helpful.

What kind of crankshaft does a Duramax use?

For a more budget-friendly option, a properly balanced Compstar forged crankshaft (also made by Callies) has shown great results in the sub-1,000hp arena. In an effort to reduce crankshaft fatigue on the front of the crankshaft, alternate fire camshafts are employed.

What to do if your Duramax won’t start?

If the fuse is o.k. if you have a test light or multi meter test the terminals the fuse plugs into,there should be two terminals in the fuse box.Test for power on one of these terminals while someone is trying to start the vehicle.If you have power then the start circuit is good and the fault is in the starter itself.

Why does my Silverado 2500HD no start no crank?

If it helps, usually when this happens, the first time you try to start it, it will start for like a split second and stall out. From there on it just makes a soft clicking at the relays and won’t crank. I usually do not do a lot of repairs to my truck myself.
