Very excited for my birthday weekend fishing trip. Load the gear load the dogs load the family. Do my pre trip inspection and low and behold the left side lights are out. Went and bought new lights same issue nothing works on the left side. Anyone have this issue? Just to clarify the trucks lights are fine it's only the trailer. Pulled the boat last month with no issues and now this. Guess who is not going away for their birthday now. Any help is appreciated before calling the dealership.

Thanks!

If it's just the left side of the trailer it has to be the trailer wiring, bulbs or sockets as the right side uses the same wiring as the left from the truck.

I thought it was the trailer also but when I bought a new light kit and wiring it did the same thing. I plugged in the 7 prong to 4 adapter and it has indicator lights on it and one of them was not blinking with the hazards. I'm going to connect the trailer to my wife's minivan and see if there is a difference to rule out the trailer

If it is trailer, ground connections are usually cause of odd ball issues. When you say one of the indicator lights was not flashing, does that mean only one of the 3 indicator lights or 1 of the 2 that are for turn signals? How many were flashing?

It has 3 lights one for each turn signal and one for power. I'm gonna try the waverunner trailer this afternoon.

Checked all the fuses under the hood also. Made an appointment for Monday.

Could it be the 7 to 4 adapter? Or was that just used to test system

I tried a different adapter and even the 4 prong under it. May get the volt meter on it tomorrow and see what's happening before going to the dealer.

Fuses are good. When I talked with the service dept they said they start at the plug and work their way towards the fuse box. He made it sound like they are planning on changing the wiring out before even seeing the truck.

Used a test light and there was no power to the left side TS on either port. 7 pin or 4. Followed the wire back and it was not all the way in the connector under the truck.

 

All fixed no need to go to the dealer tomorrow :)

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
