How to Fix a Chevy Suburban Volume Not Working
Reset Radio
You should start by trying this. This was tested by several Suburban owners, and it was successful for them. Resetting a MyLink radio is not difficult at all. Removing the fuse may help you restart the radio. How to do it:
- Offset the vehicle
- In the dash fuse panel on the passenger side, locate the radio fuse
- Take out the fuse
- Count on 30 seconds
- Re-plug it in
- Re-start the vehicle
Check the Alternator and Battery
It’s not unusual for a radio to stop working if the battery or the alternator is dead. There is a good amount of voltage that allows the truck to run, but not very much voltage that allows the radio to be heard. When it starts up, the battery voltage in the car starts to drop. It isn’t possible for the radio to generate sound because the power supply to the radio is very low.
There are several indications that the alternator or battery is aging or failing, including:
- Turning the key causes the starter to make a dragging and/or quick clicking sound.
- Dash-mounted warning lamp
- There is no sound coming from the truck at all, including the start-up chime or turn signals.
Check the battery voltage while the vehicle is operating and while it is off if you believe the alternator or battery may be the problem. The voltage needs to be 12.2 volts or above while the vehicle is not in use. The voltage must be at least 13 when it is operating. The fault code can be pulled if you are unable to achieve this (s). You may learn what’s wrong from it.
Repair or Replace the Radio
If every other system appears to be working properly, your radio most certainly has a problem. The device might not be able to communicate with the speakers due to a problem inside of it. It might be difficult to fix a problem with a radio. Therefore, it would be wise to:
- Change the radio.
- Leave the repair of your radio to experts.
