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 .

My 2015 is doing the exact same thing at 64000 miles.  Any help?

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 

 

does anyone know what causes this??? Is it the BCM?

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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
