Any weight in your passenger seat causing a seatbelt warning? Look up on the roof center I believe and see if it's showing the Passenger seatbelt warning.

I already know there are threads on the addition of footwell and step lights utilizing the grey wire, but I read in the attached picture from the manual that a pin can be added for the addition of dome light accessories. Does anyone know or have a picture labeled with the junction block where X12 would be located. Also, since cavity 5 is not utilized, is it fused? If so where and how many amps? The second picture shows the plug and says the signal can be found there. Would that supply power or just be used on a relay to provided signal? I know this method may sound more intensive than tapping a wire with a posi-tap, but it would leave wires alone and look factory. I'm just curious about going this route even though tapping the grey wire is easier.

Bought a 3 pack on eBay for $8.75 and they each came with a 15amp fuse. Search micro2 add-a-circuit fuse tap 3 pack. Seller was formulaoneracer001 from Greenfield, Indiana. Hope that helps if that's the style you're looking for. There are two ports in the black body. Bottom is for the fuse spot you just used. Top is for your added accessory.

You're right. Reading most fuse box labels crosses the eyes. When you all said there was a male wire connector, I was thinking something else. Those micro2 add-a-circuits are great.

Can you circle exactly where you're talking about?

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.

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.

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.

This is the diagnosis. With that wording in my file, will that affect future warranty work?

Can this thread be deleted? I consolidated the information in another thread

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 .

So this started when I got a Left Rear Turn Indicator Failure on the DIC and the dome light overhead switch not working or dome lights coming in with the door open.

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?
