Four problems related to battery have been reported for the 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I have read in the internet that this problem is a widespread problems. It is sort of ridiculous to take off a battery to clean it . Put back on and nothing but hot air on passenger. My wife is pretty upset about this, she will not even drive in my truck anymore. What a crying shame!.
Bought 2003 Silverado 3500 4x4 used in 2006. It had 125,000 miles and ran great. In October 2006, the speedometer started reading inaccurately the oil and battery charge gauge are not accurate either. I consider this a safety issue. I received a letter stating, the instrument panel may be defective. The problem I have is the mileage. It is over the maximum allowed to replace the cluster. I have over 200,000 miles on my truck. The truck runs great and I would not think twice about taking long trips(over 2,000 miles) as I do because of my work. I don't think there should be a mileage limit at all. There is clearly a major problem with the cluster. I think there needs to be a recall period, not just a letter stating there is just a problem. Please look into this again. Thanks d. H.

Wire short in wires leading to the drivers door and rear door. Wires shorted out behind left kick panel and partially melted the kick panel. No modifications to truck - seems they were installed poorly from the factory. Dealer is charging to fix and replace wires and reprogram the door control module. Shorts caused air bag light to come on - dome lights failed to turn off - left rear window rolled itself down while truck was sitting unoccupied - all power windows failed - battery completely drained.
