Hello,

    I am having a issue that just made itself apparent about a week ago. Every time I engage the left turn signal the high beams flash. MY truck is a 2020 2500 High Country, with 42k on it. Please help.

Thank you for the response. That is what I was assuming, I am really curious if anyone else is having this issue? I love this truck, but it seems as if I keep having more and more issues with it and now that it is out of warranty that is pretty upsetting.

I'm having this same issue (high beams flash on when putting on the left blinker only) . Started last week. 2020 Silverado 1500 LTZ, 55,000 miles. The turn signal lever felt/acted different for a day or so, then the high beams started the flash but only while engaging the left turn signal. Guess it will go to the dealer.

2021 Silverado with 57k just started doing the same thing.  Cheap parts I assume.  When I pull down to signal it flashes the brights.  Likely just cheap plastic internals in the lever that have worn down and it's now able to make the connection with lights switch and turns them on.  If I'm super careful I can keep it from clicking over and not flashing, but it's become a complete nuisance.

I think GM has had this issue for a while. My 2007 CTSV had this issue and my neighbor Chevy SS  both times it was left blinker . But my car's high beams stayed on. New switch GM stalk fixed the issue .

Update, I finally got around to taking my truck in to the dealer to have this blinker/high beam thing addressed. Yep, replace the multi-switch. Of course, they don't have one. It will be in, in a week. another trip to the dealer. At least it's covered under warranty.

I am having a similar issue. 2016 Silverado LTZ 1500. At first i started getting a fast left blinker flash and a warning light saying "left rear turn signal indicator failure". They are LED, so i had to buy a new set of tail lights. Well, the problem didn't go away. Not only do i have that problem,  but now my truck has decided to start flashing the left high beam with the left blinker. Everything else works as it should. Could it be the multi switch?

Same. 2022 Sierra 1500, 38k miles. High beams engage on right signal. 

Same. Did you ever get it fixed? What was it? Mine just started doing it on the right side

      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.
