Hey everyone can anyone tell me where I would find the manual trailer brake module on my 2016 Silverado 3500hd short box quad cab. Not the controller but the module it's self. Had a bad fuse formy left side brake light and turn signal so I replaced it and now I have no trailer brakes. I did a scan on the truck and it says the module is faulty. I thought the module above the spare tire was it but it looks nothing like the replacement one I have coming from amazon.

I thought most were under the dash, driver’s seat area. Like most it can vary over the years & with models.

on my 07 the actual module was located on the frame rail behind the drivers side rear tire.

It is mounted above the spare tire. There may be two modules stacked on top of each other, depending on options.

- 2024 Silverado HD shell on a GMC fitment??
  
  By cseaman · Posted 5 minutes ago
  
  Has anyone had any luck swapping a Leer or equivalent shell between the current gen GMC/Chevy HDs? Hopefully specific to the standard 6'9" bed. I had an Overland Vehicle Systems shell on my 1500 AT4 and I know those fit the Sierra and Silverado, with or without the Multi-Pro tailgate. That said, I think the Leer shells are made to fit all the way over the bed caps as opposed to on them with some room to spare like OVS. Some 1500 owners reported some change in coverage over the rear tail lights..but that's 1500 specific.

  Did you ever get this worked out? Mike is doing the two start thing now too. This is after a new camera back in December.

  I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.
- Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?
  
  By baglie1 · Posted 1 hour ago
  
  Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

  I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.
