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?

      Trim level custom/pro

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
