For those having the turn signal issue, where was the truck built? Ours if a Flint MI build. Curious if we can maybe isolate to a part at one plant or just BCM (or whatever module it would be) fault/programming. 

 

 

Not plant specific nor is this an HD specific issue.  1/2 tons are doing this same headlights issue on the LED headlights and they are built in Mexico, Indiana and Canada.  

 

Its an LED headlights issue or something controling them.

Does anyone know if there has been a service bulletin regarding the issue?

This is my first chevy and I am not filled with confidence of there ability to

fix it after reading this thread.

LIGHTING PROBLEMS FINALLY SOLVED. i have waited so long to post this so that i was as sure as possible everything was working properly since the problems were so intermittent. About 7-8 weeks ago both of my headlights were replaced to fix the turn signal fast flash problem, which it did but the new right side headlight had a new problem. the DRL would flash sometimes when the headlights were on. My dealer opened a TAC case and GM told them to replace the right headlight again. They were on backorder for about 3-4 weeks. 3 weeks ago the new right side came in and 2 weeks ago it was replaced. so far everything is fine with the DRL. 

    i have been dealing with this lighting problem since the first 100 miles on the truck in April. the steering box had a leak and was replaced but no other issues with the truck, it has been EXCELLENT,    i hope this lighting information helps some of the other guys out that are having the same problems.

Two new headlamps on order for mine.  The left front has gone out (fast signal flash) about 5-6 times now.

No, not yet.  I'm sure there will be shortly once they do enough in field investigations on these as I'm sure GM will be calling back headlight assemblies for evaluation to see what is exactly going on.  

 

So far its faulty headlight assemblies so a supplier issue with the lamp or components inside the lamp, and also poor terminal tension at the connectors to the headlight(s) and a couple other spots they are aware of.

I've only ever had the fast signal flash when towing a trailer, and typically it's 4 or 5 fast flashes before it sorts itself out and flashes normally.

 

Are you guys with the issue having the fast flash without a trailer attached, and is it flashing fast for the duration of that activation?  Trying to figure out if I have this issue or not.

Mine was by itself at about 350 miles. Sometimes it would do it and sometimes it wouldn't. Once in awhile. It would clear up and other times it wouldn't.

 

So far the replacements seem to be working. They were replaced in May and about 3,000 miles have elapsed.

I've had both scenarios. The trailering variety rights itself as you mentioned. Had the non-trailering variety again this morning, and it doesn't stop until I turn off the truck and walk away for a few minutes, I think it's time to call it in.

The headlights are $1500 each and are going to be way backordered now.

 

I think you are silly if you wait

Hasn't mattered for mine.  It has done it with and without a trailer.  It will flash normal (or seem to) for the first second or so, then goes to a fast flash like the old school bulb being out.  Sometimes it will be out all day, even after shutting down, and others it has come back the next time I use the signal, very random.  It always shows "Check left front signal" on the dash when it occurs.

Same issue on my 2023 LT. I've taken it to one dealership who "couldn't replicate the problem." Now, I'm taking it to another one for a second opinion. It doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it flashes normal and then does the fast flash like the old school trucks used to do when a bulb went out.

I haven't had the issue with the T/S's not working, but I have had my truck for about 5 weeks and I've noticed that the animated headlights don't work (at least not that I can tell). The lights just flash when I hit lock or unlock, just like any ol' regular light.

 

I've had other electrical issues too, my camera guidance lines have never worked and I have a blue hourglass in the top left corner when the cameras are on. I have taken the truck into the dealer twice for the camera issues, and they can't fix it even with GM tech help. They now have a camera module ordered to replace the one in the truck, hope that fixes the problem.

Mine flash on lock or unlock also, but when turning, the animation works.  I notice it when I'm behind another vehicle with a tailgate.

Well here we are almost 3 weeks after my last trip to the dealer to fix the camera issues, and I was just informed today that the camera module is back ordered. This issue, combined with the fact that my wireless Apple CarPlay won't connect the majority of the time I start the truck, is starting to make me question GM's commitment to quality. These SW issues should have never made it into the field.

    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
