I replaced the evap vent valve on my 2006 gmc sierra but now I find that there is no power to it...is there and inline fuse or anything that could have shorted out ?...and if there is?..what is the location of it?

nope, did you reinstall everything as it was? Did you pull out the valve and disconnect the harness or did you tug on the harness before removing the valve from the metal brace? I dont recall a fuse on the harness (did mine about a week ago). Your check engine light is still on?

Yes I installed everything just the way I took it off...I checked the voltage on the wiring harness when I disconnected it and I was getting voltage...after I installed it and the check engine light came back on I checked the power again and I was not getting any ...I figured maybe a fuse or something had blown.

huh, will have to check the electrical diagrams to see if there is a relay/fuse that is associated with this harness....

I believe that the vent valve is normally closed. The only time it energizes is upon start up / leak test initiation.

I was wondering about that my self so I blew right through it when I bought it...it was in the open position ....as I understand it one lead in the harness is always hot and the PCM closes a contact when it wants to energyze it completing the circuit....when I first checked for voltage it was there but not anymore....I hope I didn't damage the PCM it self...going to hook it up and see if I get a different code...just haven't got around to it...thats what makes me think about having blowen a fuse or relay

On an '03:

Underhood Fuse Block: 4WS 15A fuse. Hot at all times. To Canister Vent solenoid.

PCM sends signal to Canister Vent Solenoid Control to energize (close).

My pleasure.

Narrow your search to 15A fuses.

PS: Welcome to the forum.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
