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.

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

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

    • I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!
    • I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be. 
    • I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!
    • I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify. 
    • I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
