Running Lights Not Working

Good Evening All,

 

I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 LT Z71. Aftermarket LED headlights and tail lights. Never have had any issues with them but yesterday my running lights just randomly stopped working. My low beams come on but that is it. No side markers up front and no brake lights in the back when I'm in drive or when I remote start the truck. The brakes work when pressed but at night they don't light up until they are pressed.  Turn signals work up front and in the back. Reverse lights work. License plate light works. 

 

I saw a video on youtube of a guy who has a 2016 who had the same issues in the rear and he bypassed it using a butt connector but it wasn't detailed enough for me to do based off the video and quality. Doing that also wouldn't fix the fact my front running lights won't work (the amber blinkers). I could live with the front ambers not lighting up but I'm more concerned with the brake lights not illuminating in drive at night. 

 

I know the running lights are controlled by the BCM. Is there a good chance this has gone bad? Anything I can do to test and see or is this something I need a dealer to test. 

 

Looking for any suggestions. Thanks

So the fuses were blown. Replaced and they blew immediately. Replaced the relay and the fuses again. Fuses blew again. So I’m assuming some sort of short. Could it be the bcm. Any suggestions?

having an issue with my daytime running lights. only one of the 2 on each headlight come on. the bottom one on the passenger side comes on and the top one on the drivers side comes on. But when I hit my lock and unlock button on my key fob all 4 come on. I checked the 2 fuses for the drl's and they are both fine. anybody have any ideas on what to check next?

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
