Dealership replaced both headlights a little over 2 weeks ago for the fast flash turn signal problems, the turn signals seem to be working ok now but only time will tell since that problem was very intermittent. A few days ago a new headlight problem started with the replacement lights . When the parking lights ,low beams or high beam lights are on the right Daytime Running Light flashes constantly.  Turn off the headlights and all is normal.    So when i drive the truck at night the right DRL constantly flashes,   trying to be patient while waiting for the dealership to decides what they are going to do.  I find it hard to believe that these headlight problems didn't show their face while all the GM employees were driving these trucks  prior to start of production.   Anyone have this problem yet?

Man GM needs to figure out what’s going on with the 24 trucks. On the first page of this forum alone there are 10 threads about 24 problems. Seems excessive.

This is a growing problem.  No HDs yet, but we've seen 4 1500s for this.  Hopefully they've got a TAC case on your truc and GM has engineering involved by now as you are not alone on this issue.

thanks for the info. i asked to have a TAC case opened for the turn signal problems but i dont think they did as they decided to replace both headlamp assembles. this is the 3rd time back for a headlight issue. it started within the first 100 miles.

Turn signal but its likely whatever is causing the one is probably causing the other as well since its all the same switchback LED that illuminates the signal and the DRL.

 

Of the 1500s, 3 of them the techs re-seated the headlamp connector and they've not been back with the same problem.  The 4th truck, they re-seated first, came back.  Got a TAC case, GM told them to check the headlight connector, two circuits at the lighting control module and fuse #4 in the passenger side dash fuse box.  Ended up getting a headlight, 2 weeks later customer called and its doing it again.  

 

3 of the 4 trucks it was the right front headlamp.

Thanks again, ill see what happens Tuesday when i bring it back in. According to the work order the wiring and connectors were checked before they decided to put the new headlights in and i even re-seated both connectors before i even brought it in the first time.  the T/S's so far are working fine with the new lights.

I have a 2021 2500 diesel AT4 and the drivers side headlamp started the flickering thing on my yesterday.  I live in the country so heading to a dealer really sucks.  

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue at home?

Has GM figured out how to fix this?  My 2024 Silverado 2500 is about to go in for the third time with the same right headlamp issue.   I first took my truck in 3wks after buying it, back in Oct (741miles),  for this issue but was told the part wasn’t in to fix it, spent 3 months waiting for the part and finally got it “fixed”and 4 days later it started again.  My dealership hasn’t been very helpful in resolving this issue, I call and leave voicemails and they never call back.  I’ll probably be without a vehicle again while waiting for it to be fixed.

Yes, there is a new bulletin about these.

I have a 2021 Silverado 2500 HD, duramax. About a month ago, my left side parking light began to flash, while the low beam and high beam would go out. It would continue this for part of my drive and then stop flashing and both beams work again. This intermittent issue went off and on for a few weeks, and now all three lights are out. Any thoughts?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.

      when it's greyed out that is it's way of telling you that it's downloading the patch in the background. Eventually it will be fully downloaded and then it will prompt you at ignition shut down to run the update. I highly recommend doing the update once you get home and can run it a few times. I've had several issues with updates not going the first time around and I had to retry the update multiple times in my driveway before it was successful.   Some updates are huge and take awhile to download. You can help it by connecting to your home WiFi and keep the truck on service mode for the ignition and keep it alive for awhile on a battery charger too. There are specs it needs to be in for updating such as a full enough battery charge, no running ignition, etc.
