Stupid question: removed the fuse for the rear defroster but when I press the button the amber light still comes on. Is that normal?  

 

Also, in regards to my previous post - if anyone cares, I told them to not remove the rear glass and they just kept resealing the area until the leak stopped.  Let hope it holds! 

 

Thanks for the help in advance.

Yeah, just send your VIN to some random on the internet. That should be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Your post makes absolutely no sense. It's already set up for me at the dealer tomorrow morning.

And how is this different from any random person in the world just walking up in a parking lot and getting it?   This rates up there with folks blacking out their license plates in photos!

The switch also controls the heated outside rear view mirrors which operate on a different fuse. So the that’s what the light indicates. That the switch has been triggered. The fuse for the rear defogger when removed only stops that from working.

Same issue here, my 2016 Silverado 2500's rear window exploded after smelling smoke. Coincidentally I cleaned my interior windows the week before and notice a lot of soot on the inside of the rear window but there no signs of anything wrong, so i didn't think anything of it.

Just happened to me Sunday night! Thank god my dog wasn't in the back seat! Getting the same run around from GM, no reply till I publicly called them out on their Facebook for not acknowledging the issue in the US, got some contact now. I work in the fleet industry very close alongside the OEM's so might call in a favor or 2 to probe.

Just had the same issue happen two days ago. Drove my 8 month old to daycare, smelled plastic burning, opened the backseat driver side door and there's smoke and a tiny flame coming from just under the back window. Rush to pull my kid out in his car seat, set him on the ground and look back up to see the fire went out, but almost immediately after, the back driver side window shatters.

 

I drove the vehicle right to my dealer and explained the issue. Have an extended warranty on the truck, so they had someone come out and take a look this morning. Will have an assessment done on Monday and I'll know more, I guess. 

 

Also just got done reporting the compliant to NHTSA. Would encourage you all to do the same. My VIN is not showing any recall associated, but I see there is one in Canada, which is where my vehicle was made.

As long as the side mirrors still heat up I'd be OK with the rear window fuse being pulled, but I really like the mirrors defrosting.

This was talked about but concerns of the cost in rolling out recall delayed action.

I'm at 1 month now with no update from GM. The dealer said even they called GM for an update and got nothing. Starting to get severely agitated. Almost going to have to make a SECOND loan and insurance payment on a truck that's stuck at the dealer!!! ??

Take matters in your own hands. Print the recall and walk it into dealer. Document it all and if nothing said or started in 48hrs email service rep and have a claim number started. Least they can do is give a high end loaner.

Dealer was instructed by GM basically not to touch the truck. I've had a claim number with GM since the morning after it happened. I've been getting to no one but voicemail for 3 days at GM. I do have a brand new loaner equal to my truck and even that was only after complaining the first 2 weeks. It's great and all but I want MY truck back. It has all my emergency equipment installed in it. a RAM is lookin pretty good after all this.

Sorry but can't remember where you are at with the truck. Is fuse pulled and rear window ok or is it blown out? If window is in and fuse pulled go get truck and drive it.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By parthery · Posted

      Some clarification may help with some of these issues.   - Rev Industries is/was the division of BAK (now Realtruck) that makes covers under the OEM names.  So if you see one with a Ford logo on it, or if you are buying the GM Accessories cover, you are essentially buying a BAK G2 cover with different branding.   - Rev Industries now markets under RealTruck "Advantage."   - As of May 1, 2025, the Advantage covers now have a 5 year warranty.  Anything before that was a 36/36K warranty.   - Parts for the covers are available from Realtruck or BAK.  The email address to reach them is [email protected] or you can call them at 818-365-9000   - If the entire cover has to be replaced, you have to go through your local GM dealer.  Service dept opens an RO, notes the damage and submits it as a warranty claim.  Keep your paperwork handy so they can confirm when you purchased it and it's within the warranty timeframe.  Once the warranty claim is approved, Parts orders the replacement cover.  When it arrives at the dealership, service will remove and install the new one for free as labor is included under warranty.   - The Advantage covers are not the latest and greatest Gen 3 covers.  They still use the old school clamps, elevator bolts, etc...If you want the newer technology, consider buying your cover in the aftermarket world.  That way, if you have an issue you can deal directly with the manufacturer.   - Finally, RealTruck has a program with many of their authorized dealers that doubles the warranty to 10 years if the authorized dealer does the install.     Hope this helps.

      Welcome to the group!  My '22 just crossed 150K miles.  Runs perfectly.  Oil pump belt will be done in the next 30 days or so and onward hopefully for another 150K.  Love the truck.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!
