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.

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      By davester · Posted

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf
