This little issue is happening on my truck as well, have a 2019 Trail Boss.  The only thing I can attribute it to is I put in a set of Lumenex Reverse LED's from Dieselled's.  But I can't 100% attribute it to those bulbs as I put them in a month ago and this problem only started now.  Additionally it's very intermittent as it has only happened on two occasions and went away after I shut the truck off and went into a store and came back out.  Super weird.  I am going to check in with DieselLed's as well to see if they have heard of this.

Well so far, I can say it is definitely moisture related, as it only does it after rain/snow./wash, and then only intermittently. I'll keep hunting it, eventually I'll get there and figure it out.

It's a connection issue for sure.
Led light bulbs shouldn't matter

I took mine apart and inspected the connectors that appeared to be slightly corroded for lack of a better word, the connectors had some residue on them.  Anyway I cleaned them off and put some dielectric grease on the connectors to seal it better and make sure the connections are true.  It made a VERY slight difference in that now my display only flashes the backup camera briefly and then immediately goes back to normal.  I don't think it's weather related as over the past few weeks we have had rain, severe cold, snow and now mid 60's and sunny and it has behaved the same through all this.  My conclusion is there is something wonky with the way the wiring is connected in the rear and adding LED backup lights definitely disrupts it.

Agree, have had LED back up bulbs for 2.5 years in mine, never any problems.

Which lights were/are you guys using without any issue, I was using the (921) LUMENEX LED REVERSE LIGHT KIT.  Which I will confirm was the problem as I pulled them back out today and the problem has gone away.

Guys , I’ve had my truck since brand new 2 km on it when I got it (2017 seirra) had leds and light strip on it since new , check the connections under the truck above the spare tire , they get water in it causing this to happen 

 

hope this helps

I pulled the Lumenex and installed both the JDM ASTAR Extremely Bright and/or Super Bright LED's and had the same problem with both sets.  JDM atleast responded to my Customer Service question, they mentioned how LED's have such low resistance that it somehow impacts the electrical system on my Truck and triggers the backup camera.  They suggested putting a 6ohm resistor inline with the LED bulbs to try and correct the problem.  I have not tried that yet.

SOLVED, Finally!!  3 pairs of different Reverse lights, same issue across the board.  For my 19 Silverado Trail Boss, it seemed to be primarily related to the Right Rear as through all the troubleshooting when I put the original stock bulb back in the problem went away.  Anyhooo this is the fix:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07HF47RV9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

iBrightstar 50W 6ohm Load Resistors - Fix LED Bulb Fast Hyper Flash Turn Signal Blink Error Code $7 Bucks.

 

I clipped the green wire, put one of these inline and Voila.  That being said I went all the way back to my Lumenex bulbs since they were by far the brightest ones I have used.  What a dang headache I am so happy to be done screwing around with something so trivial!!

Still no issues? My truck developed this issue for the first time this morning. I believe it may be moisture related as we just had two days of rain that has changed over to ice. When it warms up and dries out some I’m going to check all my connections and add die electric grease to them.

Bringing this old one back. Im having this problem now too. Anyone else ever have this and resolve it? 


I am Experiencing this issue now also, but 2020 Silverado WT. I believe, like the OP, it is water on a connection. It started after a springtime rinsing trying to remove lots of salt.  Going to check it out rn… 

 

edit: still an issue

    • Most thermostatically controlled ATF systems use a 'wax' pill just like the one in your water thermostat. They work on the expansion volume of the wax and the pill is constructed in such a way as to limit the travel to remain within that range. This means it has an opening temperature often called the 'cracking temperature' and a fully open temperature. For whatever reason oil is designated by it's fully open temperature and water by it's cracking temperature.    Between the two it the "Regulating Temperature" The entire range is about 20 F from closed to open. In your example the lower limit, opening point of 145 F then has a fully open temp of 165 F and a throttling temperature of 155 F.    Thing is, the throttling temperature needs two things to work properly. Enough system load high enough to reach the minimum and a heat sink (cooler/exchanger) large enough to prevent any load applied from exceeding the fully open temperature.    If your system exceeds the fully open temperature it is screaming MORE COOLER.    Here is the silly part of the whole thermostat system where the oil is cooled/heated by the radiator. Nothing is flowing to that system until the oil temperature reaches the cracking temperature unless it is equipped with a minimum flow bypass orifice or a bypass built into the seating surface of the plunger. That system meant to get it up to temp quicker isn't doing a thing until WORK drives if from ambient to cracking temp. One a cold winter day, like zero F, it may never get hotter than about 110 F. Sometimes not even that.    People forget or are young enough to not know that until this millennia transmissions were cooled by the radiator cold tank alone and without a thermostat at all.  In the 50's they weren't even cooled. OEMs learn everything the hard way.    When an OEM tells you the trans "Works best" between 175 F and 220 F it means works best for THEM. The transmission thermostat is fuel play. If you watch you trans temps like I do you will learn that it may take a hundred miles if you are not towing and not driving more than say 55-60 mph on a zero F day to even reach 120 F and it might sit there all day if it's colder. Yet if functions perfectly over about 100 F. It may need to get a bit warmer for the fuel and spark maps to go without an multiplier.    Worry more about too hot. Use a cooler large enough to put that thermostat in range.         
    • Around 2008 if memory serves they took sulfur out. That was when diesel went up. 
    • Question for you Grumpy, why is diesel so much more than gasoline? Seems to me that it may be slightly a little less refined than gas and it doesn't have 10% alcohol which presumably lowers the price of gas
    • Thanks, so being a different beast altogether, anyone know what the "optimal" temp is for the 10L80/90 for proper shifting?
    • How many years have I pointed out every point in that link to the folks here and been avalanched with criticisms and outright hostilities at times? I ran counter to even the great CUSTOMBOSS and Lake Speed Jr and the half dozen experts on YouTube and in the final.....GM, Physics (Stribeck) backs that Grumpy old Bear.    Honestly, I never said a thing engineering hadn't studied silly and laid in concrete during WWII. But I'm old, the information is old and yet, the Laws of Physics are eternal.    Okay there is one exception. I vehemently disagree with their use of the word 'tolerances' when what it meant is "clearance".   The clearance is the distance between two objects. The tolerance is the degree of acceptable variation permitted in that clearance. I.E., piston to bore clearance is 0.004" with a tolerance of +/- .0002" so the clearance is in specification if it lies between 0.0038" and 0.0042". Cutting that 'tolerance in half has ZERO impact on lubrication requirements. Makes for more difficulty in manufacturing.  But a tighter clearance 'MAY'. Depends on finish. Anyway....   It's one of those statements made by people to make themselves look smarter than they are to convince people who are as un-enlighten as they seem to manipulate their behaviors. But hey, the blind leading the blind puts them both in the pit.
