Ok here we go again. (This should be made a sticky by now. lol) The seats in these new trucks are NOT like what you expect from previous years or other manufacturers. Thank GM for that. They do come on during remote start as long as it is turned on in your vehicle settings but, at a very very low heat setting. Think of it as a preheat. Once you get in and turn the key hit the heated seat button and they should get warm within a minute. However at that -30 temp it may take a little longer. Yes the seats do not stay on when the key is turned. You must hit the button and turn them on.

And as an added feature should you want your front windshield deiced while it warms up be sure and turn auto off as it wont defrost itself

Not sure if serious. But anyways I remember when I remote started my 08 gmc it would blow hot air on the defrost setting when it was cold and it would blow ac in the hot summer weather. Don't think my 14 does this, but really haven't used it long enough to determine either.

Unless you turn defrost on and auto climate off the windshield is ice covered and truck is lukewarm inside. Yes we know how to read the manual. But even my dodge is smart enough to defrost when cold temps in auto.

When I remote start and get in, if I've left the AC in auto, my front windshield is defrosted and it automatically turns on rear window/mirror defrosters as well.

at the minimum, the seats should be on the low heat setting when using remote start and its cold.

 

During the recent extreme cold weather, the seats were like sitting on an iceberg (even with (2) 10 minute

 

remote start cycles).

 

GM took a step backwards compared to my previous '08 when it comes to the remote start.

do these trucks have the mirror defrost? my mirror had lots of moisture on it from it being very humid out one night and I turned on the rear defrost and the back window cleared up but my drivers side mirror did not ever clear up it stayed with the moisture on it and I could not see out of the mirror the whole way home... my 12 had a separate button for the mirror defrost but I don't see one in my '14

The heated or cooled seats will not turn on during a remote start unless

they are enabled in the vehicle personalization menu.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
