Battery Drain after changing rear Brake rotors

[Co-silverado15]

2015 Silverado 1500 

 

This weekend I changed my rear rotors. It was a simple swap, old ones off, new ones on. The next morning I went to start the truck and barely got it to turn over and the DIC threw a message up saying service trailer brake system. My radio also completely reset and when I press on my brakes all lights dim. Any suggestions in what this could be?

Sounds like your battery died coincidentally right around the time of the brake job.

These batteries give zero warning when they die. Mine worked just fine then wouldn’t do anything the next morning.

I would accept that if the “Service Trailer Brake System” message wasn’t there.

That's what happens when the battery dies with these trucks. The trailer brake system gets low voltage and shuts down.
