I Recently purchaces a used 3500 Silverado, and have noticed that some of the controls dont work or dont work as i would think they should. I am wondering if there is a way that i can reprogram them to work properly or even restore factory defalts of those items without going to a dealership ... as i dont trust them around here. I was hoping to find a program i could install on my laptop to hook up to the obd2 port. my problems are as followes.

1. doorlocks dont lock when put in to gear or after traveling beyond 8 mph... which i believe it should, doesnt bother me too much but noticed it.

2. user settings ... got control for it have seen display for user... but no settings to be able to set or no diference in users..

3. trip button on steering wheel does nothing... have to access all through knob in dash.

 

ok its late cant think of other items but if i remember there are a few others dealing with the buttons on steering wheel... non radio

 

So any ideas of a program ...and or ways of programming it properly with out dealership... i have heard something about possibly a jumper wire and using turnsignal for programming ??

there are no laptop programs for what you're talking about. any changes can only be done with the tech2, which the dealership has. but i think all of your problems can be solved without programming.

 

1. I believe there is a setting somewhere to disable or enable this feature, just mess around with the dic i believe its in there somewhere

2. the truck identifies users by what key they use. (it recognizes the code in the keyless remote)

3. probably need to replace the button. By buddy's button also died on his steering wheel... now that i think about it that dead button might be the reason you cant find the menu for 1^ i was talking about

Changes to the BCM can only be done with a program from GM downloaded to the tech 11.

Hello,

 

I'm having a similar problem. I just picked up a used 03 Escalade, and none of the buttons to access the driver information center work. The lights don't work in them either. Where can I start troubleshooting? thanks!

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
