Hi All,

 

I will cut to the chase; I had my evaporator replaced at a GMC dealer and now my passenger, both rear doors, and locking tailgate do not work. They don't work with Key fob or door controls. Everything else (windows, etc) works as intended, including drivers door lock. 

 

Any ides what could have caused this? Maybe a pinched wire when they installed the dash back? Possible electrical short? Dealer is saying that it's nothing that they did...and I find that hard to believe. 

 

Thanks in advanced!

I don't know if it's related bug the same thing just happened to my son out of the blue in his 2000 bonneville he had a leak from somewhere and it got the floor under the driver's seat soaked and there's a wire harness connection under there that got wet. So none of the electric door locks or windows work. It happened all at once.

Dealer needs to take a look.  Something is either unplugged or damaged from doing the evaporator.  Could be a broken wire, the BCM might have a loose plug, if they took the doors off (which does have to be done on certain vehicles to get the dash out) they could have a bad connection at the door jambs as well.  

 

If they worked when you dropped it off and don't after picking it up, its on them.

Check the fuses first. Make sure they are good and that they are there.

Fuses are all good. Ive checked all of them (driver side, passenger side, and engine compartment) twice.

While I know the dealer did something, I cannot yet prove it. I opened a case with GMC, and they dug in and spoke with the dealer. GMC tells me that "dealer said that they did not do anything to the door locks or anything that could effect the door locks so there is nothing we can do." So it looks like I am on my own. 

 

I pulled the tailgate cover off and test the power going to the locking tailgate actuator, and there is none- so I have confirmed its electrical related, and not just 4 bad actuators. I have also discovered that the passenger door lock/unlock control works the driver door, but still not passenger door or other rear doors. 

 

I wish I knew more about these wiring of these trucks so that I could dig deeper, but I am pretty much at my intellectual limit. Ive check all exposed wiring harnesses to ensure they are firmly plugged in. I am not sure what else to do besides taking it to dealer again.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
