  1. No one ever mentioned warranty repair denied in any wording and they don't need to get reimbursed for anything because I already payed the diagnostic hourly rate so all is paid up.
  2. The next option is the Chevy dealer closest to me. Won't they be able to see the previous service record from the gmc dealer somewhere in the system? I'm unfamiliar and I don't feel like paying another $$$ for diagnosis fees only for them to find the previous write ups. I considered it.
  3. Thanks. All good responses. Certainly will be returning for repairs. No mention was ever said to me about voiding a warranty, however clearly a concern. I won't be performing the mod again, considering I could have bought some really good lights for a better improvement than the simple fogs provided coming on with highs.
  4. This is the diagnosis. With that wording in my file, will that affect future warranty work?
  5. The first issue is the puddle/domelight's. I first noticed the issue when the puddle lights were flickering when the unlock button was pushed or the door was opened. Also, the interior dome lights would not come on when the door was opened. I've pushed the overhead switch to the on position and sometimes they would flash on quickly and shut off, but most of the time not come on at all. The dome lights come on when the individual buttons are pushed, but not at all with the overhead switch. Anyone know where the fuse is that controls the overhead switch? My second issue is with the left turn signal. On the DIC I got a turn indicator failure for the left rear. The indications are with the blinker activation, the mirror/dash blinker lights will flash normal for about three seconds and then pulse quickly, followed by DIC message. *edit* Brake lights (left) also don't activate. I took the truck in today and got it diagnosed. The diode mod, performed exactly like the steps in this forum, somehow shorted out my BCM. I can't believe that would have done it, considering several other things that BCM controls work without issue. Well, new BCM and programming repair will cost one $675 dollars, all because I forgot to take out the damn diode before going to the dealership. Hard life lessons. sidenote: I also performed the footwell lights modification and I'm certain this somehow factored into the equation. I just removed the bcm and there are no chared areas or visible broken solders. If the bcm shorted out, wouldn't I be able to see something on the circuit board? Can any trained eyes spot any areas of interest where I can snap a closer photo to post. With everyone who has had zero issues with the diode mod, I find it hard to believe this is the case. I think they saw the mod and blamed it all on that right away. Should I even take it as far as to say per the magnuson warranty act, in order for them to decline warranty coverage, they have to prove the diode caused the failures? Financially, what could that lead to in further costs for me, or will they not want to hassle and potentially just fix it? The entire BCM looks unaffected .

  7. So this started when I got a Left Rear Turn Indicator Failure on the DIC and the dome light overhead switch not working. I took the truck in today and got it diagnosed. The diode mod, performed exactly like the steps in this forum, somehow shorted out my BCM. I can't believe that would have done it, considering several other things that BCM controls work without issue. Well, new BCM and programming repair will cost one $675 dollars, all because I forgot to take out the damn diode before going to the dealership. Anyone else have a solution for fixing the BCM outside of the dealership for cheaper? Anyone else have an issue with this modification causing things to not work on the truck? Hard life lessons. sidenote: I also performed the footwell lights modification and I'm certain this somehow factored into the equation.
  8. Instrument panel fuse block (right) fuse 45 "body control module 6" removes power from dome light when I had them singularly turned on with their independent switch. Zero fuses are blown, maybe that issue is isolated to the switch.

Also, the interior dome lights would not come on when the door was opened.

The indications are with the blinker activation, the mirror/dash blinker lights will flash normal for about three seconds and then pulse quickly, followed by DIC message. *edit* Brake lights (left) also done activate. My first action was replacing the bulbs, however that did not fix the problem. When I returned home, I troubleshot the bulbs by placing the lighting switch from auto to running lights and the lights came on, so I know the bulbs harness and wiring are working perfectly fine. I have checked the fuses in the engine compartment, number 14 I believe which is labeled trailer stop/left turn I believe. Any ideas on this issue? I would like to troubleshoot the issues prior to taking it to the dealer under warranty 30 mins away.
  10. Got the footwell and assist step lights done today wired to the solid grey wire. Kids got in the truck and didn't know they turned the LEFT turn signal on, and when I went to see the lights in the dark, with only the left turn signal on, they pulse. The normal dome lights don't pulse after the mod though and it's the same wire. Anyone else mistakingly find this out or could it be I did something wrong? Instead of splicing into the wire, I just pushed my wire into the small space the original grey wire goes in to, kinda like how the fog on with brights are jumped just by pushing in the diode.
