2019 yukon xl No Start

[T_Brad]

2019 yukon xl 5.3. Problem started with the occasional no start when starter button was pressed. Then it would work on the second try. Over the next two weeks it would happen more often, until we got to a point where it would not start at all. (Vid 1)
- battery tested all good.
- replaced starter. This did nothing.
- starter relay appears to be fine (See vid 2)
- starter fuse is good
- ecu module is tight and seated well. (I have not pulled it to look for corrosion or wire problems beneath it

When i try to start I get a single click. (See vid 3) Single click when trying remote start, and single click when trying to jump at starter relay (See vid 4)

Can someone help me on what my next test should be, or point me in the right direction with a similar problem they solved? Thank you in advance.

I can give you some initial pointers, but other members of this Forum much more knowledgeable than me in this area will chime in.

You say that the battery tested good. Did you have it load tested on a bench with an actual load tester unit?

Check the Ohm resistance of the battery cables. They often look good on the outside, but are corroded on the inside, but an Ohm test should determine the condition of the cables.

Mine did about the same thing and I found the ends of the battery cables (that attach to the battery) were kinda glazed . I used a pocket knife and a battery terminal brush to clean them up. Worked ok then. Good Luck

I would suggest a voltage drop test to confirm main cable integrity and capacity to handle a load:
