We have had the same issue with our third row DVD player.  Hasn’t worked for years.  This is just one of many issues this 2015 GMC Yukon Denali XL has had.  Another very common issue of such a rough ride and we are on our third pair of new struts.  It rides like we have wooden wagon wheels!  Will never purchase one of these again!

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

Just a quick note to thank both 67firebird455 for the original fix answer and ChevyDriver59 for his post of the video instructions on 01/01/2021. My neighbor had issues with 2nd row monitor while her husband was deployed and asked if I had any recommendations for troubleshooting.  I was able to find this thread searching and fixed her problem for a few bucks in cables instead of her having to replace entire module like she was told by dealer...several hundred dollars. Much appreciated!!!

Anyone have trouble with only the audio not working?

 

Both of my screens work fine.  I’ve tried all 4 headsets with fresh batteries. Audio just stopped working one day.  Any ideas?

Same issue here, '15 Yukon XL Denali.  Quoted $700 to replace it.  If you open the screen slowly, there is a point where you can see video, it is clearly a ribbon connection issue.  Since I'm out of warranty, and GM could honestly give a rip about this lemon, I plan to take it apart and try and repair.  I've got my eye on a few other non-GM vehicles to trade this lemon in.

My 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali had the same problem, and it was diagnosed as a bad screen unit, that is what they said, and DeMontrond Buick GMC, in Houston did the repair OUTSIDE warranty for $145.00 and has worked like a charm, 149526 miles now and was done at 87588.... GREAT dealership, 3years ago...

 

The only problem that I am having now is that the rear never did play through the Bose sound system, still cant figure it out...  It plays the DVD in the from and sound from all the speakers, but if I use the RES for USB, it will not have any sound, but was told that I needed a different headphone for this system, but I think that there is only wired, and NOT wireless capability?

 

I only have one remote to use for both screens..., also you can adjust the screen brightness with the remote for the rear screens and that made a world of difference for the screen, but still no luck with the wireless headphones..

Thanks

My 2015 Yukon XL Denali has just 50k on the ticker, and had this issue. GM is not standing behind the junk of a vehicle this has been within the two years of ownership, and I am not paying $700 to replace the second row DVD player.

I hope this helps someone with the same ridiculous problem. All you need is a Phillips screwdriver, a small flat-head, a ratchet/driver, and a 7mm socket.  This literally takes less than 30 minutes total to do.

I can confirm that this worked for me. Just did this same process, and got the screen to work. It is a little funky with the positioning, but I'm glad to know the issue was just the ribbon cable. I'll be ordering that cable soon and doing this process again. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! Had the same issue on our 2019 Yukon XL SLT. Middle tv did not turn on and the remote with it would not work. 
 

I disassembled and flipped the ribbon around and reassembled. Bam! Turned right on with the others. 
 

Saved a ton of money for 30 minutes of time.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      I’m definitely interested to hear the end result here.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.
