I'm having same issue with my 2013 GMC Sierra HD2500 now too. All lights work except low and HI beam headlights, when I pull turn signal toward me the HI beams do come on, so not a bulb issue. I'm thinking a headlight electronic solid state relay is bad that controls the headlights lights in the box under hood on driver's side .

I would like in on this issue as well. Jhon, will this be a recall because this is ridiculous? Just got home from traveling 8 hours to go pick up our 2018 Sierra Denali 3500 and halfway home we realiz

So, was there a solution? My 2015 Silverado is doing the same thing. Which Relay needs to be replaced? #59 is labeled to do the Fuel Pump

My head lights have been intermittent, but when I turn on the truck they usually come on then flash and go out. 
 

I have a 2015 GMC 3500

Got in my truck

 

 

this afternoon and the headlights wont come on they are in the auto position. I tried moving the switch to the on position and no change. I'm thinking it's a bad relay but not sure. I tried locating the fuse for the headlights but can't seem to find that either I looked in both the driver side and passenger side door and under the hood and cannot find one looking for some help.

Same problem.  Anyone fix?

We just bought a 2015 High Country yesterday.  Got halfway home and the headlights would not come on.  I googled and landed in this forum. We stopped and bought new bulbs.  My husband put the driver's side bulb in and it did nothing.  We drove home with only DRL and fog lights which was quite scary out in the country.  Pulled the truck into the garage and the driver light started working.  Replaced the passenger bulb (which was much more of a pain) and now both headlights work.  High and low beams.

I have a 2015 same issue with headlights. Been to 2 shops no help. When mine go out they flicker then out. All other lights work.

My headlights flicker and go out. Shut off truck and restart a couple times and they start working for awhile.  Happens more when it’s cold. Did you find a solution?

2015 GMC Sierra 1500. Headlights flicker and quit, seems to happen more when it’s cold outside. I have to shut the truck off and restart it a couple times then the lights work again. For awhile. Sometimes seconds. I’ve checked grounds, wires even a $600 mechanic bill. Still does it randomly. 
something new, tires spun at an icy intersection yesterday and headlights quit

Hello, my truck had the wrong HL in it. Had 2016-19 HL. Had to change them back to 2015. This truck came down from Canada, I bought it used. I'm sure there is a story behind this, but I'll never know what it was. That work great now.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.
