Hello all, so I'm wondering if my ignition switch is shot. I haven't driven the Envoy in about 5 days. Got in yesterday to swap out the front brake lines and noticed the truck had a slow crank but started. Drove fine for most of the day, left it overnight and got in this morning and it wouldn't start. It cranked once or twice and started clicking. I couldn't get my remote start to lock the doors, but it will unlock. Ran inside and grabbed my dad's jump pack. Left it for a few minutes, it had a slow crank but started right up. My RPM and MPH guages work, the gas, oil, temp and volt gauges are not functioning. Most of the warning lights are illuminated on the dash. My aftermarket radio stays on even when the truck is off, interior lights stay on until you hit the dome switch. Drove it to Advanced and the battery and alternator passed the tests. My door lock won't manually lock when I try to lock it with the key.
Would a flaky ignition switch cause this? Or would a bad door module do this? I had an issue similar to this two years ago when I blew the mega fuse. One of the parts counter guys said it could be the driver door module but I haven't really seen anything about those going bad on the forums, which had me question maybe it's the switch since that seems to cause the weirdest issues on these trucks.
