For you guys that are saying your part has arrived and has been or will be installed this week, how did your dealer get the part when other dealers are saying they haven't received a single part from GM in 27 days! I'm terribly confused. Thoughts.

I have the same issue with my 2024 sierra 3500. I get the “check trailer wiring” “service trailer brake system” intermittently. I spent $700 bucks to have the entire trailer re-wired from the pigtail

Good news. Disconnected Solar and for the first time ever i didn’t receive a check trailer wiring error when hooking up. Did a 20 mile loop without any issues. Will have to see what happens on my next

I've ordered a diode I'm going to put into the 12v line so the trailer can't push any voltage back to the truck.  Hope to do that, reconnect solar, then go for a drive to see if it fixed my problem.

I’m sure it just depends on what part it is, where it’s coming from and where the strikes are happening.  Ordered a new trailer camera through the dealer parts department last week. Came in 3 days later.   
 

Have a friend needing lifters replaced in a Tahoe with a 5.3.  Lifters and all other hardware came in, but still waiting on a gasket for over 3 weeks.

Had the TSB done about 4 weeks ago. The last couple days the “check trailer wiring “ issue came back. After thinking through all of this there might also be an issues driving in the rain and moisture. I pulled fuse 84 yesterday and it did not make any difference. The first time I experienced this was also driving in the rain. Going into the dealer Monday. However I need to drive all day in the rain to get there.

Interesting. Did it disconnect the brakes as well, or just give you the "check trailer wiring" message? Let us know what you find out on Monday.

Dealer said “they couldn’t duplicate the condition”! Of course they couldn’t, all they did was connect the truck to their trailer simulator. Obviously didn’t read the TSB. They did say there was a computer update so maybe that will help. Towing in another week so I’ll see what happens. Probably going to call GM and start a CASE with them. Has anyone else have the condition come back after the TSB was bone?

We have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 3500.  We were excited when we saw an update dated 9/15/23 to TS-NA-149 indicating the installation of a new trailer brake controller would fix the problem with towing our 5th wheel.   Our dealer replaced the brake controller and we took off for our trip.  Unfortunately 300 miles into our trip we lost brakes.  What is even worse, we don’t even get a warning this time that we have lost brakes.  

 

Has anyone else had the brake controller replaced with the part in the TSB and still have problems?

So I just got a 24 GMC Denali Ultimate, and picked up my 5th wheel, and didnt have any screen messages except for 1 Trailer Gain not remembered, or something to that effect, but it didnt feel right when braking. I didnt really notice it until the last few blocks to storage, but now I'm wondering if the trailer brakes were actually working. I have Disc with Electric over Hydraulic with a Hydra Star. Someone mentioned it earlier, but didnt elaborate on it again. I found this thread trying to research why I couldn't seem to find a type of trailer brake setting anywhere like I had on my Ram.

I have the same Brake Connection error on my new 2024 Chevy 2500, pulling a travel trailer with Solar and Lithium batteries. I had my Electrical Engineer friend look at it and we have come up with a (very inexpensive) solution without disrupting the Solar charging to the truck. If anyone is interested as to what I have done, please email me at [email protected].

So I took my Truck in today to have it looked at. Pretty much what we've all come to expect, cant find anything wrong, no surprise there. Anyway they gave me this document with a lot of information in it you guys may find helpful. There's a dedicated section about Electro/Hydraulic brakes. Before I get into that, I want to tell GM that there doc filled with why it maybe the trailer is offensive at best. We all have new trucks here. You know what that means GM, we had a truck that we traded in on your 6 figure trucks that are having brake problems that didn't exist on our previous trucks. You know what that means. ITS YOUR TRUCK, YOUR LACK OF PROPER TESTING, AND YOU PUTTING LIVES AT RISK !!!!!

 

Some 22k pound missile with no brakes is going to kill someone, and then you're going to be on the hook for millions, because of a $100 part. My Ram - go in select Hydraulic over Electric, 5 years no problems, hmmmm. Apparently it doesn't require an adapter, or Plug, and its not my trailer. We buy these trucks for pulling things, you know like in all of your commercials, and you cant even mange to get that right, but my seat will give me a back rub. You need to adjust your priorities.

 

Moving on. The doc states that applying the brake to lightly, or the Gain not set correctly can cause the pump to not reach the 20-30% to activate the pump. "This is normal"... "Pressing the brake pedal harder will help alleviate the concern"

 

So don't slow down like a normal person, slam on the brakes, then they'll work correctly, seriously !!

 

So I'll be hooking my 5th wheel back up, and testing to see if I'm experiencing these issues. This first time GM customer maybe their last GM purchase ever, and traded before the first payment is even due.

The updated controller fixed my issues.  Also wired in a diode just to make sure the trailer can't back-feed, which is also working great.  Also came up with a workaround for the running lights with PWM not being able to power up my cameras.  I tied those into an existing 12v circuit off the house battery with a switch in the passthrough storage to enable/disable the running lights.  What's cool about that is now I can turn those lights on/off anytime, whether hitched up or not to turn my cameras into a security system.

Did this plug into the camper fuse panel or inline to the 7 way connector?   Thanks.

My camper has a J box that has all the connections from the truck 7 way to the camper. I used a volt meter to identify the power that the truck sends to the camper and installed the diode into it. 
When I was done you should read 0 volts on that wire at the 7way plug.  This problem really only happened after I was using the shore power at a resort and it charged the camper battery to a higher
 voltage than the battery in the truck. I have verified this with a volt/ohm meter. The camper battery voltage was anywhere from a half a volt to 1 volt higher than the trucks voltage and this is what is tripping the disconnect error.

      Aftermath of Repair of Leaking Brake Line

      By unit731 · Posted

      Thanks for response. Leak was right under drivers seat or thereabout.   Had checked by other mechanics and have read other information.   The solution can be a tad complicated and replacing multiple parts And with some.  The issue was still the same.   The brakes do work.   Just that the pedal is softer and goes further down.  But the brakes do work.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
