will not turnover reset security system
 

Hello,

My 08 silverado has a short somewhere because yesterday the day runnning lights were on and the washer fluid pump was running. I disconnected the pump and removed the fuse for the lights. I recharged the battery and it would not turn over. The battery was tested and only had 6 volts with no load after 6 hours on the charger. New battery and it still wont turnover no clicking. All electronics work, just no clicking. Someone mentioned possibly the theft system may need to be reset. How do I do this?

Check the anti theft fuse. I won't crank if that circuit is dead.

I checked and still nothing the keyless fob works

Try putting the shifter in nuetral, give that a shot.

Still the same, all electronics inside work ,silence from the engine. The message center shows HOOD OPEN and SERVICE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE

Might be the key fob keeping you locked out.

I tried my spare key also. I have noticed that things that need the key in the on position are staying on( day running lights, washer pump, and the radio stays on after the door is open) possibly the ignition could be bad????

UPDATE...
It turns out the body control module, transmission control module, transfer case control module and engine control module were all bad. After talking with a neighbor he remembered hearing a close lightning strike. I guess that could have possibly caused the issue. The dealer is asking GM to assist with the repair cost.
Thanks for your help.
