Thanks to your help and instructions, I took this challenge and successfully fixed my 2nd row display flipping the cable in about 25 minutes. Great job with the photos! It really works folks!

My 2015 GMC Yukon rear DVD player stopped working, did what you said and it Worked. Ordered an extra 40 pin ribbon just in case this one goes bad. thanks

Anyone with second row overhead DVD issues in 2015+ GM suvs where the backlight works but no video, or you are unable to open the screen all the way without losing picture, the solution is easy. Remov

Same issue here. I figured it was the ribbon based on what others were saying. Dealer wanted 800 to replace. I took the unit down 4 screws and unplug 2 harnesses. Pulled the cover off and reversed the

I'm having the same issue with my 2015 GMC Yukon.  I went to Amazon searching for my cable and found this one:   https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00W8WAOKO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie

Wow,  can’t believe so many other have had this same issue.  We have 2015 Tahoe with just over 70k on it.  RSE is shot and won’t work, changed the battery and had to have it towed to the dealer to reprogram all the remotes and just recently the AC line to the rear unit “developed” a crack and the AC needed to be drained/line replaced/then recharged.  Lemon for sure. Pretty disappointed in GM.

2nd Row video went out. Reversed the pin and still did not work. Lights on but video screen blank.  Swapped the 3rd Row unit and same issue. The 2nd Row unit works in 3rd Row mount so the 40 pin cable was not the issue. I think it may be one of the harnesses or maybe a fuse. It looks like there is only one fuse for the displays but I'm not sure.

Hi there, Yes I have had the same issue with my 2015 Suburban, how they can spend this much money and not build electronics and wiring correctly.  In my 4 years I have had it break 3 times, only once under warranty in the first year, and even then they wanted to fight it.  GM sucks and I will never buy another one.  This past February I had it fix and then it broke in April.   Recently had it in local Chevy dealership and it took them 3 visits to fix it and we just noticed 3 days later that the 3rd row dvd broke with no picture in screen, it was working when we dropped it off.  This is absolutely crazy and GM knows it that is why they are changing to back of seats instead of middle.

All you do is get lied to as they never want to come good for it.

I attempted this repair again, but on the third row screen in our '15 Yukon XL Denali... nada.  Was forced was to order the 20pc replacement pack on Amazon and praying it works.  GM REALLY needs some serious QC changes.

2016 Tahoe.  Just finished replacing the 40 pin flat ribbon on the DVD player and happy to report it is working perfectly.  Here is the link for the ones I ordered($7.69 at time of posting)  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C4P6S43/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

Please note that you have to pry the plastic covering off the back of the screen once everything has been removed and disassembled.  I almost got stuck and couldn't figure out how to get to the other side of the cable once I had everything taken apart.  This takes quite a bit of pressure to remove the back covering and a 2-3 of the plastic connectors broke, but there are still plenty of them to connect it back once everything is reconnected.  Also you can't tell any of the plastic connectors are broken once everything is reassembled.  Just be very gently during this portion of the project.  I didn't see any pictures in this thread of someone doing this so wanted to provide a few more details on the process.  Thanks again for everyone's input.  Couldn't have done it without this forum.

Just disassembled my third row screen again today after receiving my replacement ribbon cables.  R&R'd in under 10 minutes and am back up and running!  I should go back through my original post and circle the screw locations requiring removal.  To split the screen cover, I used my pocket knife to separate, keeping pressure pulling apart and working my blade around the perimeter.

@jimbigg - You have to flip the small flap on top of the cable up.  Just be careful not to break it off, once flipped directly up away from the board, the ribbon easily slides out.

 

@Nicholas Trifiletti - Thanks a lot man.  Appreciate the thanks.  I'm so glad it's saving other people time and money.  If my front screen dies (still on stock flipped cable), I'll take a video how to and post it on youtube, then share here to answer any possible questions others might have.

I recently purchased a 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV. I didn’t realize that neither the 2nd row or 3rd row dvd screens worked. They had a backlight, but no image. I explored many avenues to repairing them and did a lot of googling. I figured what the heck, this seems like an inexpensive, fairly simple fix, so I gave it a shot. I have absolutely no IT/mechanic or similar experience (I am a stay-at-home-mom) only a little confidence. Guess what, it worked!!!! I am so happy I tried, proud I did it and saved thousands, and THANKFUL for this post!!! I ordered replacement ribbons that were mentioned here ahead of time for $8/20 ribbons on amazon. When they came in I went to work following the pictures. The first screen probably took me 45 mins and the second one 30 mins start to finish. This post saved me so much MONEY and TIME. Thank you, thank you, thank you (and thank me)!!

I broke the connector clip when trying to remove the cable. Any idea on how to fix this or rig it up? 
Also, has anyone had trouble with getting the headphones to sync with the dvd players after reconnecting it?

I disconnected the the first dvd player, broke the connector, put it back up there as a lost cause, but now the 3rd row sound is not working with the headphones. I can only play it through the speaker system which is very annoying. 

HELP. Thank you in advance.

When you say flip what do you mean end to end or just turn over?

Does anyone know what type of connector is used for the DVD player harness to the car, is it USB-C, micro HDMI? trying to troublehoot as I replaced the ribbon several times and the backlight will come on now but no video wondering if the connector to the dvd player unit is the problem.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
