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

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

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

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
