05 wont crank occasionally

[royalknight]

I have an 05 tahoe. for the last 6 months occasionally it will not crank. Remote unlocks the car put key in all lights are normal, turn the key and nothing, not even a click. Battery is new connections are good. It eventually always starts. In Fact the thing that seams to have the most effect on getting it to start is locking and unlocking the car with the remote or unlocking it with the key or locking and unlocking the doors with the drivers door switch. Any help would be great, I afraid my wife is going to get stranded one day.:sad72:

Mine is doing the same thing, but I haven't figured out how to get it to crank. Swapped relays around, checked crank fuse. Havent checked neutral safety switch yet, or the starter switch. Even banged the hell out of the starter this last time, nothing. Battery is 3 months old. I had the charger on it the whole time, when it was fully charged, it started like nothing was wrong and I can get it to act up again. I'm still thinking low voltage from the battery, but haven't confirmed that yet.

OK, update on mine. Let Tahoe sit overnight, Voltage 12.2, no start. Hook jumper box up, voltage now 12.5 also no start. Used jumper cables and a known good battery (my 98 dodge truck) now voltage is at 13.2. Starts like nothing is wrong. Once started, voltage jumps to 14.3 to charge the battery. So It is my firm belief, my problem is a 3 month old walmart battery. Battery wont hold charge overnight. Itll run and start the truck all day now, but tomorrow morning, I'll be stuck again. Hope this helps yall. Rudy.

Is the starter clicking?

Who are you asking? Mine didnt click. And update, had battery tested, it was bad. I got a refund at wally world then went and bought a Interstate battery. No problems since.
