Ordered from Rockauto on Thursday July 7th and had it shipped with First Class mail for like $2.83 and got the part on Saturday July 9th! It would have taken longer if I'd paid more for the UPS shipping! HAHA

 

I installed the new flasher P/N 10383320 in my 05 1500HD and it took care of the parking lights staying on constantly, but now my turn signals are doing the "hyperflash" going twice as fast as before. No big deal to me, but it doesn't work as it did before with the OEM P/N 15764135. I haven't hooked up my trailer to the truck yet to see if that changes anything, since then it would be the 3/6 combo instead of the 2/4 like the original flasher had printed on the case. The new flasher P/N 10383320 does have 3/6 printed on it. The hazard lights do flash at the normal speed though, just the turn signals are twice as fast. Oh well! HAHA

Awesome information in there. Thanks for that. I'm going to dig this topic out since it relates to a previous post I made and this answered it.

 

So, is RockAuto the best place you've found ? GM says 84 or 110$ or so depending on the model (the one ending with 20 or 21).

 

Guys, thanks for the great help. I am using Part Number: 10383321 to replace the old flasher as I had the same problems-- left turn signal turned on hazard lights. Also, I noticed that my third brake light stopped working, too. I wonder if this new flasher will fix that as well? I'm going install it (using the great pictures posted here) soon and let you know. As far as pricing? The BEST price I've found is at Amazon.com, believe it or not. I paid $46.40 with free shipping and received my part in under 5 working days. Stay away from the dealer though-- $98.00 + TAX here in Maryland.

Last one Pic 11.

 

What I think is happening here is the relay for the left blinker circuit gets stuck, either by the contacts getting hot and fusing together temporarily or the chip gets hot and keeps the relay holding circuit energized when it should be deenergized. Either way I feel dumb as hell when I go to turn left and my flashers go off.

 

RockAuto lists two replacement parts for this module...

 

P/N 10383321 is supposed to be the Superceding P/N for the old GM P/N 15764135

&

P/N 10383320 which is supposed to be part of a trialering package. I read a post where a guy used the 10383320 P/N and had no problems. It is also $21.00 cheaper than the replacement P/N. I'll be ordering this one today.

 

Best of luck.

 

 

Great post and photos, took my relay out and cleaned all contacts, "blinker circuit was getting stuck", put it back in, works fine.

 

Thanks,

Ron

Had the same issue, left turn working intermitantly. Replaced stalk with no luck and this module was solved the issue. Tried filing contact with no luck. Replaced at NAPA $30.

My problem is on a 04 2500 duramax . When I switch on the turn signal or flashers the proper turn lights come on but nothing flashes. It is the same with or without the trailer. I am guessing that it is this flasher module at fault. Correct ???

Thanks for the pics on how and where to find the module. I was at my wits end looking for it.

the cheaper one is for trucks not using led lights. On my 2005 Denali I had similar issues, but it turned out to be a ground issue. tank a multimeter and check the resistance on the ground. I did not feel like getting un the truck to chase the problem so i took some wire and taped into the harnes and screwed it into the body with a self taper lol.

How did you determine which wire is the ground wire . Did you look for it in the wires coming to the relay or in all the wires coming to the fuse panel. I do think it is a good idea to check out the ground as a bad ground can cause all kinds of unusual problems

Thanks

I checked the ground from the plug. I don't remember the wire colors but I believe it was green or black.



I will not have access to my wiring diagrams until I get him on Jan 8th

I got to thinking .....the flasher in my 05 suburban should be the same , I checked and it was. I pulled it out and tried it in my 04 truck and ,problem solved. I never did figure out how to check the ground but it appears I don't need to. I used Napa part # Lm 455 for the new replacement flasher module. All is good again. Thanks for the help.

Have an 04 gmc 1500 sierra slt, the left blinker quit working intermittently now it won't work at all unless the brake pedal is depressed and i use the signal manually. The right blinker has always worked just fine. Read this post and bought a flasher relay modual from ORileys auto parts this morning. The modual was supposed to replace part number 10383321. Put it in and now the right blinker won't work.

Now what do i do? Paid $80 for the part and it is not returnable. Put the old module back in. Will take it out and clean contacts, but doubt that will help.

What is my next step? Please help.

Thanks, tpafleng for the info and photos! Installed a Novita LM487 flasher relay, LED compatible, $55 from O'Reilly Auto Parts. Works great, full LED lamps, no more hyperflash.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.
