I've seen the passlock system cause these issues.

Another issue if it cranks but doesn't start or runs poorly check the ignition control module. Easy fix ensure you put the white grease on the back of it and it will resolve your starting issues.

Battery drains overnight when car turned off. New battery and alternator charging fine. Can a stuck blend door actuator cause the drain ?

Best answer (according to Parasitic battery drain)
Parasitic battery drain from United States a month ago
I put an ammeter in series with negative post on battery and ground lead to engine. I selectively pulled fuses one at a time to see if there was a change in current draw. Then replaced that fuse and went to the next and on and continued until a fuse caused current draw to go to zero. That fuse was labeled INFO. Evidently it powered the system that operated OnStar and Carphone features in this 2005 vehicle. Those features were outdated and no longer functioned but their system remained powered. Removing the fuse permanently stopped the parasitic draw and did not change anything in the vehicle as those systems no longer functioned anyway.

Parasitic draw on radio fuse even after replacing radio

Chevrolet Suburban 2014  130000 miles
Prior to replacing the radio I had to remove the radio fuse so my battery wouldn’t be dead daily. After replacing my radio, my suburban seemed to start with no issues and could sit a couple days and start fine. But after letting it sit 6 days I found the battery dead once again when trying to unlock and start . I replaced the battery 3 yrs ago. Are there other things connected to the radio fuse? No aftermarket parts on this vehicle have been added outside the radio . Any help would be great

Same issue on my 2005 Subarban. I feel like the Audio system anti-theft is leeching my power and my battery is dead after sitting for about 5 days.

We had to replace our battery. After installing a new one our radio keeps a lost wifi connection screen. We don’t know how to get it off. I’ve tried things in the owners manual, YouTube and nothing is working. Thanks!
