I've lost the remote lock/unlock from the key fob and the key-off radio / power window functions on my '03 Sierra. Everything worked fine yesterday before I changed shock absorbers. :cheers: I bumped/moved some wires running along the driver side frame rail while removing the shock on that side. Could that bundle of wires be connected to something that controls the key fob receiver?

Any idea what caused this? Did my truck reject the shock transplant?

Further investigation shows a total lack of power to the passenger side door. The door lock switch & window controls for the passenger door aren't working on either door...driver or passenger. The window controls worked yesterday...after the shock change...because I rolled both windows up when I finished.

In the fuse box on the drivers side should be a fuse labeled PDM 10 amp fuse. Remove it for 10 minutes, reinstall and check operation.

 

That wasn't it. Still no response from the driver side controls or keyfob.

I had this happen one other time several years ago. Seems like I wiggled some connections under the dash, but I don't remember which or what. That time was dark in a hotel parking lot.

so the driver side controls dont work, but the controls on the individual doors do? maybe your switch on that door crapped out, gm's are known for having bad window switches.

Only the Driver Side works for the Driver Side only. The Driver Side controls for the Passenger Side are inop. The Passenger Side doesn't work at all...from any controls. The Key Fob doesn't work at all...no door lock or panic. The auto lock when put in gear only works on the Driver Door. The key-off power to the radio and window functions is inop. I've lost all power/control to the Passenger Door. A fuse or relay has blown or a module has died. I just need to know where to begin looking to fix the issue.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
