I started my Sierra yesterday and the dash screen is dark. No radio, no bongbongbong when I open the door. No info about ventilation system, etc. Does anyone know the name and location of the fuse for this? I hope that's all thats wrong.

Adding Fog Lights to 2015 Sierra W/T
vacuman replied to vacuman's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
I found a fog light retrofit kit from Winjet that includes the wiring harness, lights and surround bezels, and a factory look dashboard switch bezel. The lights are like the cheap factory ones but I think they can be switched out for Morimotos and still fit this harness. One major problem I've run into is removing the the stock fog light block off plates. They each have four 7mm screws only accessible from the back side and they are a total bitch to remove and replace without removing the bumper. Removing the bumper looks to be an absolutely daunting task. This thing looks like it was designed by a fastener manufacturer looking for early retirement. Has anyone voluntarily removed the front bumper on a new Sierra? What is the easiest procedure? -
Adding Fog Lights to 2015 Sierra W/T

Crappy halogen headlights on the 2014 and 2015 Sierras is a well known fact all over this forum. That's why they switched to LEDs in 2016. These things are invisible at dusk and not a whole lot better after dark. GM should recall them for a fix before they lose the impending legal action. -
Has anybody added fog lights to the base model Sierra? It has black covers in the front bumper for them, but no lights. Can they be added to the factory wiring or do you need to start from scratch. I've already installed a Morimoto HID kit in the crappy stock headlights, but I could use some more light on the sides for turns.

HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit
vacuman replied to MotoMedic's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
The light pattern looks similar to the one I just installed. I don't think it's an installation problem. The bulbs can only be plugged into the harness one way and inserted and twisted into the headlight one way. I think it may be a reflection off some of the chrome trim around the grill. Beats the hell out of the stock ones though.- 3,357 replies

HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit
vacuman replied to MotoMedic's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
I installed a Morimoto 35watt 5500K HID kit from The Retrofit Source a couple of days ago. I just got back from a 200 mile freeway trip from Vegas to Ca. 3 lane interstate through the boondocks. These lights are freaking amazing! Excellent clear white light across 3 lanes and 15ft to each side and at least 150ft ahead all without annoying other drivers. The whole trip on low beam. No need for HB at all. I did this same trip a month ago with the stock flashlights and was convinced I had to do something. Best money I ever spent on a vehicle.- 3,357 replies

HID Headlight Bulbs / HID Projector Retrofit
vacuman replied to MotoMedic's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
If you want brighter light go with a 50Watt ballast instead of the 35Watt. The bulb rating affects the color of the light more than the brightness. The Retrofit Source sells Morimoto kits online. I just installed one and it works great. Get on their website chat line and they can point you in the right direction. Ask the guy on the chat line for a discount code and you get 10% off.- 3,357 replies

I've also noticed the tach fluctuate slightly at around 50-55mph with a change in exhaust note. It goes away when speed increases. It doesn't seem to be a real problem, but if it is, I want it fixed before the factory warranty expires. Trans fluid is level is right on and only has about 16K miles on it. 2015 Sierra 5.3L 6spd

Gas fill issue
vacuman replied to martha3065's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Troubleshooting
Every time I pump gas in my 2015 Sierra long bed (34 Gallon Tank Std) is a workout. The handle will not stay locked and will shut off by itself. The only way to get it to accept gas is to stand there holding the trigger at halfway and stand very still for about five full minutes. Also the body panel metal around the filler neck is so thin it flexes if you let go of the handle. Vapor recovery hoses in CA are pretty sensitive anyway but this is ridiculous. This happens at every station I've used--even in Nevada. It's the one thing I truly hate about this truck. -
Nice fit. Do you have a part # on that? Where can I get one?
