So I've got an issue with my passenger side rear lighting and I'm really stumped as to what's going on. The turning lamps function, the brake lamps function, the reverse lamp functions--everything works EXCEPT for the tail/running lamps.

 

I thought it might be an issue with the bulbs, so I ordered new ones, installed them, and still no fix. At least from what I looked at, the connections look good as far as the individual bulb sockets are concerned. I also checked the interior driver side fuse box and the fuse box under the hood to see if any fuses were shot, but I was a bit confused as to which fuse I was actually looking for. In the section in the manual that tells you how to swap the bulbs for this tail light housing, it calls them "taillamps, turn signal lamps, and stoplamps," but when I go to look at the fuse diagram, nothing is labeled with those terms.

 

I ended up just pulling and checking any fuse that I thought might possibly be the culprit, but they were all intact.

 

Anyone familiar with this issue/have any suggestions as to a fix? It's a rather frustrating issue, and of course I have to get inspected this month.

 

Thanks!

I am having a similar issue where my running lights are not working on passenger tail light. Brake lights and turn signal works just fine. When I take my key out and there is a minute of lights being on everything works. I replaced the wiring harness as I saw this was a common issue but the same thing is still happening. I am thinking it is the actual connector the wiring harness is going into.

    • Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!
    • I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

    • Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
