2017 Chevy Traverse won't start

Question type: Maintenance & Repair
We have a 2017 chevy traverse. We have been having trouble with it not
starting. We replaced the battery and also the purge valve, but this morning
went out and it won't start again. Able to jump it and it starts right up. Battery
charge is sufficient. No check engine light on - HELP!

The you have a battery draw that drops the battery below start threshold. First thing to check is the rear wiper and make sure it is fully shut down. If that is good then take it to a shop you trust and have it checked over, most likely something is still functioning when the key is turned of and removed. I have seen a few security systems go haywire and draw too many volts and BCM's keeping systems alive after shut down.
Thank you so much! I made sure everything was turned off before it was parked for the night based off of your recommendation. I did start it periodically throughout the night and it started right up this morning. I am going to leave it all night tonight without starting it (making sure everything is fully shut down) and then see what tomorrow brings....I appreciate your help.
