I have a 2020 High Country Duramax 

none of the connectors on the vehicle

work. 
I have tested the lights on the trailers and they work great. 
If I plug in my tester for the flat four pin all I get is a light flash from the two turn signal poles. 
I am trying to connect sled deck and the connectors in the box and on the bumper do not work at all.

I would think that if it works on one of your 3 trailers it's probably not the truck. I would double check all the connections and lights on the affected trailers just to make sure everything is good

I have a trailer that I have towed for over 7 years with my 2006 duramax. I hooked new 2019  duramax to it and the only lights that work are hazards and park lights. Brakes don’t work hooked up to the

This trailer light flicker issue concerns me... if I leave my trailer connected for a week, I risk killing the battery. Hard to believe this is "normal".      Video of trailer lights fl

Just retrieved my 2020 AT4 2500HD from the local GMC service center.  My trailer will connect, but then disconnects and reconnects intermittently.

 

I was told everything is working as designed, and my problem is the LED lights.  I did try the Curt product mentioned above to no avail.  This is my second camper that this happened on.

 

This truck is my first and last GM product.

 

I am working on a workaround.  If I am successful I will post back.  Aside from this issue, and this is a big issue for me, I like the truck.

I just returned from a trip to south Texas and found that you need to shut off your truck before connecting and disconnecting your trailer plug. Everything has been working since.

I have a loaner 2020 1500 while my 2020 2500 is in the shop. I have found the same, but with all the electronics in it, it kind of makes sense.

If you need that adapter, that would be sad that the provided built in 4 way plug can't be used.

I already had to buy a 4 way plug wire extension because the built in plug is so high above the hitch now compared to my last Silverado.

My 20120 1500 does not have a four flat because it has the rear trailer camera plugs. So it only has the 7 way and two trailer camera connections.

Anyone with the trailer camera package and fifth wheel connection in the box know if they are able to be swapped
Would like the 4 pin on the bumper

The video cables are not long enough to move the plug from the bumper into the bed. I would suspect that someone will develop a way to adapt in the near future.

I have a 2020 At4 2500.  First time I started towing my boat trailer it was all good.  Set up my profile in app was easy.  Now last week, went to pull the boat and message came up recalled brake gain.   Diagram of diagnosis showed prong was not connecting in plug so was causing my trailer electric brakes on passenger side to stick.  Called dealer and they said my module was bad, ordered and replaced.   Went to tow boat yesterday and same message came up along with no trailer connected.  To see if it was my trailer hooked up to some friends trailers.  Still, the same with no trailer connected.   At this point, I’m very frustrated but will try dealer again today.

You’re saying it’s not normal for the trailer profile to recall the brake gain setting for that specific trailer?

For those that have sled decks this worked very well bought a two prong plug from amazon and wired into the taillight then plug the deck into it. This makes a nice looking install but also easy to remove the deck.

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
