Just wondering if anybody has had this problem before. I'm taking my truck in wednesday while its under warranty to see if they can fix the problem. All of a sudden, my cruise control, brake lights, and left turn signal do not work. However, my right turn signal and third brake light works perfect. I'm also having trouble with my key flobs only working every now and then as well. Anybody else have this problem or had this problem.

Did you check the fuse? VEH STOP in the Instrument Panel Fuse Block controls the stop lights,brake module and electronic throttle control module. LT TRN controls the Left turn signals and sidemarkers. CRUISE controls the Cruise control. There are also fuses in the Underhood Fuse Block that are related to the items that you are having problems with.

 

Try new batteries in the key fobs. They are only supposed to last 2 years. You will need to resynchronize after replacing the battery. Hold the LOCK and UNLOCK buttons on the transmitter at the same time for 15 seconds. The door locks should cycle to confirm synchronization. If the locks do not cycle, see your dealer for service.

:thumbs: I'm having a similar problem with my one week old '04 GMC. Left turn signal stopped working. Had dealer replace turn signal switch yesterday. This seemed to fix the trouble until the next day when they quit again. I've scheduled another appointment with the dealer Monday and am hopeful that it will be corrected permanently. How about some feed back on the remedy?

The cruise probably isn't working due to the issue in the stop lt circuit...kinda like when you tap the brake pedal and the cruise shuts off. Could be wiring problem, or something as simple as a shorted bulb.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.

      “It should be recognized, however, that there becomes a point where fuel economy oils do not make much economic sense for the end consumer—we talk about a fuel saving of ~€100 compared to a risk of €1000 Euros if the oil is too thin and causes increased engine wear rates. However, the benefit of these oils accrues to the car manufacturers. If their vehicles can save 1–2% fuel by using a special fuel economy lubricant, then that OEM can drastically reduce the amount of fines they need to pay.”   I liked this and the following paragraph as well but it’s really only touching the beginning of the benefits OEMs see from spec’ing these oils. After you factor in “out of warranty” service work and new car sales when these engines fail before their time, it’s a good racket for them. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you!
