Truck was in the body shop for some minor bumper damage. Bliss/ADAS all recalibrated.

After that, the truck only clicks when I turn the key. No crank or anything. Interior lights all work. I recharged the battery and its still the same. Center screen shows the battery saver mode every time. I have to use my battery jumper to start.

Any suggestions on where to look before bringing it back to the body shop?

Look at the Chevy dealer?

Have the battery and alternator tested, as it sounds like the battery is discharged or bad or the alternator isn't charging.

If the alternator isn't charging, check the 125 amp fuse bolted to the battery positive terminal buss work. It might be blown. That is the fuse to the alternator.
