Hello-Has anyone had this issue...turned off truck and on the outside of truck the right turn signal flashed a couple times. then a few mins the left did it. I do have a appt to take it in but of course the two dealership services I called had no idea what it could be. TIA.

Hey Charlie, I have had this same question for quite some time now and I still can’t find an answer. Have you heard back from anyone about this situation, if so fill me in please and thank you.

Hello, I just seen this happen on my 2020 chevy silverado custom . The right turning signal just started flashing with the truck off and alarmed. It is raining out and not sure if moisture has anything to do with it. I would appreciate any feedback if anyone has the same issues.

My truck still does this and the Chevy dealers around me have not been able to tell me what it is doing. its still randomly blinks. sometimes just one tail light. or just a front light. sometimes together. Hopefully someone will figure it out.

I have a 2020 Silverado and it does the same. Turn signals randomly flash after truck is parked and running or when it is turned off and doors are locked. Seems there are a lot of the same problems here.

That means that your tire pressure is low on that tire, these trucks blink even if the dash light isn't on.

Seems like this is the most plausible as I do have one tire with low pressure. But it starts blinking on my drivers side and my low tire is passenger. Why in the hell does our trucks have to tell everyone else that the tire is low in air. Dumbest feature by far. Sure makes a guy want to get air considering its a sore thumb all blinky blinky......

If this is the true reason (low tire pressure) why would the dealership not know this? Lindners Chevrolet charged me $85.00 to "flash the computer" to stop the random flashing. Whatever they did if anything did not stop the random flashing. I really hope this low tire pressure is true. 

 

Thanks all

Just had this issue with my 2019 Tahoe it had been sitting for a year so all four tires were low. Aired up all four tires and the intermittent turn signal flashing stopped.

I had the same issue. as i was putting air in the tire it started blinking again. and when it reached the pressure, the horn beeped! kinda cool but weird all at the same time.

I have a 2024 Trialboss and mine flash at random times as well and I come to find out it’s due to the air pressure you have in your tires!! If one is low the signal will flash at the tire that is low and or lower than others so if all your tires have different pressure all but the one with the money air will flash..

Anybody ever have it on a 2020 Chevy trail boss when you use your right blinker your bright lights flash? Doesn’t do it when you use the left blinker. It’s only the right blinker and mostly when you click it all the way up.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
