Just had my local dealer install factory fog lamps on my 2020 sierra.  After they were installed was told they dont have the computer code to activate it.  Now I have installed fog lamps but they dont turn on.  Am I out of luck or is this something my dealer should have?

Were they purchased as a GM accessory kit? If so, the kit should have come with an activation code.

Dealer installed them knowing they wouldn't be able to get them to work???? Wow what BS. Is this their first fog install? That's a sorry service dept....

I bought the GM fog lights from the dealer and installed everything except the jumper wire into the underhood fuse box, took it in today to have it programed and finish the wiring, I lost the sheet with the code, but still had the box they came in (serial number is on the side of the box) the tech was able to call GM help line with the serial number and the help line gave him the code. $131.00

Thanks for the info.  The dealer installed everything except the codes.  To lazy to follow up to get the codes.  I have them now and hopefully my back up dealer will program them tomorrow.   Moral of the story is sometimes service advisors are either lazy or incompetent.

Jeez that is a sad story but I guess all dealership service teams have a bad day now and then.

I had the same situation happen to me. I installed the entire fog light kit myself (correctly) with the help of the GM instructions a friend game me. Obviously the lights didn’t work because the had to be programed. I brought it to the dealer (Rydell) two days ago for service. They took a look at it, gave me a call later in the day asking for the serial number or number on the sheet (which I was never told to keep.... should have kept it) that came in the box... I was at work and couldn’t remember where I put the sheet. I asked for options and they told me there aren’t any besides BUYING A WHOLE

NEW FOR LIGHT KIT FROM THEM! There has GOT to be a way they can track down my order and connect the dots. I’m pissed. Anyone have any suggestions???

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
