I'm seeing more and more of you guys are getting the led lights fixed behind the radio knobs and hvac knobs. What exactly are you telling the dealership? I've tried saying everything, I've even take the brochure and showed them what it's supposed to look like but they keep telling me it's not done. I'm just curious.

Bottom line is some dealers will do it and others are following the GM policy document saying not to fix it because it was a running change. My dealer did mine for "customer satisfaction" but it was before the policy document - they showed it to me right after they fixed it.

The round radio knobs and fan knob on the HVAC should be illuminated just like the headlight control knob on newer builds. See pic below.

NOTE: it is the BLUE lights only on Silverados, not RED Sierra - Sierra were all made with the appropriate control knobs illuminated.

If you look in the owners/user manual it shows colored pictures with the lights working, just pull it out of the glove box and show the salesman, instead of a picture off the internet, that might help?

Good call I may try this plan at my next oil change!

Yes, that AND the original sales brochure as well as the MyLink guide show the lights on. These are what I showed to my dealer's service manager in hard copy form. If you don't have an original copy of the 2014 Silverado brochure, you can get a copy here in PDF form: https://www.chevrolet.com/content/dam/Chevrolet/northamerica/usa/nscwebsite/en/Home/Help%20Center/Download%20a%20Brochure/02_PDFs/2014-silverado-1500-ebrochure.pdf

Chuck did they just order a new bezel for it? How did they fix yours?

They ordered the control panel for the radio and the control panel for the HVAC - two parts/boards.

I have been so happy that I did not have this until I noticed it tonight -_- I thought/hoped I was going to be lucky and not have this happen to me. Oh well. Going to dealership soon anyway!

THIS IS A SILVERADO ONLY PROBLEM. SIERRA WERE ALL SHIPPED WITH APPROPRIATE KNOBS LIT! I see that you have a Sierra...if your trick's control knobs are not lit, there is another issue.

Edit:

 

Just checked a few more pics on the internet. Doesn't look like they are lit in the pictures, although I could've sworn I remember mine lighting up. Weird

Sounds like a trip to the dealer. The Silverado issue is that some early builds did not have the appropriate control knobs illuminated from manufactoring, then later they shipped with them. They called it a running change.

 

Yours must be a failure.

Maybe. Oh well. It's going to the dealer soon anyway becuase my oil life remaining screen keeps resetting itself to 100% although it should be somewhere between 55-60% by now. Dealer tried blaming me for resetting it, but what in the world would is have to gain by doing so? Everytime I get in the truck?! So now they want to keep it overnight so they can change the sensor or module. They were not very clear. If the problem gets fixed then I'll be happy. While it's there I'll have them check into the lights.

I can't wait to get there and have them try to blame it on my HIDs or my footwell lights that activate with the domes haha.

      Winter Returned

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco 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. 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. 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 wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
