Hey guys i am new to this forum to posting in this forum but ive used alot of articles to help me fix problems ive had with my 2007 GMC Seirra SLT 1500 (New Body).. ive ran into another problem this time wiring and i cant figure it out so im turning to you guys for help and suggestions!

 

So:

 

the other day after i parked my truck and shut it off i opened the door and the stereo stayed on which was wierd, didnt think anything of it and later on got back in the truck and drove around again nothing was wrong. When i parked it later i had the same problem and then tried turning the key on and off and nothing, after that i noticed that i had no power windows, locks, heated seats, mirrors, or turn signal in my mirror.. so i grabbed a test light followed the wiring harness to the plug on the fuse panel inside the vehicle, the big red and white wire has power and the small brown wire has power, all the other wires have no power going through them to the door ive pulled all the fuses and they are all good, so now i am stumped and i dont know where to go checking next before i rip my whole dash apart trying to follow wires i thought i would ask on here and see if anyone else has had this problem.. key fob lock and unlock does not work for drivers door, all other door locks work and all other power windows work it is only the driver side door that has no power.. the speaker works but that is a seperate wiring harness. If anyone can help me with this problem i would appreciate it lots cause its starting to get on my nerves and annoy me as its been a week and i havent been able to figure it out.

 

Thanks guys!

Unfortunately this will likely be impossible to diagnose over the internet. Your best bet would be to pull BCM codes.

Start with the basics. Disconnect the negative wire from the battery and let the truck "reboot." Reconnect it after 15 minutes and see if anything improves.

 

Kind of like Windows - when in doubt, re-boot.

So i would have to take this into a shop to get the codes pulled then?

was the first thing ive tried, didnt help.. the first couple days of this happening if i slammed the door hard it would work again and the door would have power almost like a bad ground, is there a ground wire connected behind the door panal that could cause this problem?

Sounds so much like the freaky ocassional electrical gremmlin I had with my 2007 (GMT-900) Sierra 1500... There have been a number of other folks who have had these crazy issues as well. I traded the truck in when I got my 2008 Duramax and the dealer still hadn't been able to duplicate the issue in order to be able to repair it... I even had to pay the $150.00 towing bill when I couldn't get my truck to start (no power, no nothing!) yet it fired right up in the service bay when they unloaded it off of the tow truck. "Could not duplicate problem, drove truck for several days, unable to duplicate problem)

 

There will be no codes stored more than likely so don't waste your money unless you have a check engine light that is on. I seem to recall someone mentioning a grounding issue on one of their 07s with the same sort of problems, so I would check ALL the ground connections really well. Start at the battery and work your way from there. if it looks tight, take it off and tighten it again.

 

Good luck

i found out what the problem was and fixed the wiring issue, turns out there was ground on the chassis side plug but not on the switch side so i found the broken ground wire between the door and the chassis inside the rubber grommet, im assuming it may have been cause from living in Calgary and working up north where it hits up to -50 degrees C'

      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.

      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.
