That is exactly how my 2014 knob operates. Don't know what's wrong with yours

Must have to do with the build. My 2008 is an American built truck, the 2014 I drove was Canadian made. My brother also has a 2008 Silverado and his knob works like the 2014 both Canadian trucks. Mines the only one to actually do anything.

"I was a firefighter for 30 years" sounds like a qualifying statement.. if not intended that way, my mistake. And I never said you were evil. I clearly stated "everyone should be free to choose if the

Why? They're for safety. Not sure if you've ever seen the result of a head on collision... I bet you would change your tune if you did.

I'll take paying for a bulb over getting smoked by someone that isn't paying attention any day. Lots of people are too clueless to turn on their headlights in low visibility conditions.. I personally

I would assume your right. Canada has a mandatory DRL law so I'm assuming they programmed against manually disabling it.

Ok it's really easy there's a plug on your headlight just under the battery I believe the wire you want is gray but I'm not sure you will need a test light the yellow one in that plug will make you think you can use it but don't so with parking lights on test that plug there's like 5 wires on it 2 of the wires will be hot with the parking lights on but don't use Yellow tie in to the gray I think it is and that's your trigger pin 86 on a relay pin 30 goes to your + battery pin 85 battery ground pin 87 will be your new head light feed so here's what I did pull the bulb cover off and drilled a small hole just to the right of the round cover cut the red wire going to the headlight bulb and that's where 87 will tie into make sure to tape the other end of the red wire so it don't short your bcm

Thanks!! I'm gonna try it the next time I'm at the dealer. I'll post when/if I make any headway.

There's a way to disable them with 2 relays I've done my 15 silverado email for more info on it [email protected]

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
