just picked up my new truck on saturday! the keyless remotes come with numbers on them to match the memory seats - or at least thats what they are for on our envoy. the remote with the "1" on it chages it to driver 1 settings, "2" to driver 2's settings.

 

They do not seem to work that way on the sierra. On the envoy, you set it for that in the DIC controls, but that doesnt appear to be an option for the sierra.

 

Am I missing something or do the remotes not work in that manner on the Sierras??

I have the same question you do. I was under the impression that when I unlocked my truck with my particular Key Fob #1, that when I started the truck the memory seat would automatically adjust to my pre stored setting. And Likewise if my Wife used her Key Fob #2 it would automatically adjust to her setting as the truck was started. But what I have discovered is I always have to push the #1 on the door to bring the memory seat to my pre stored setting. :D

There was a change for 05'.  Not sure why they didn't remove the #1 and #2 off the fobs.  I believe there is a TSB on the subject.

 

 

 

does the tsb make it so the remotes activate the memory seats - or does it remove the number off the remote?

I have an 03 denali and its works the same only switches the driver 1 and 2 setting when you press the button on the door. The remote seems like it had no prevalance.

There was discussion on this awhile back. You'll have to do a search on the forums. Most of us have come to the conclusion that GM had a bunch of spare keyfobs laying around and decided to use them even though they didnt recall the seat position li¬I«®hey used to. Hope this helps.

The 1 and 2 memory recall on the fobs went bye bye with the 05's. My uncle bought my identical truck last year except a black 05. Mine is an 03. We found about 5 or so more options that mine had and his did not. For example when either of the doors are open and the power lock switch is locked, the chime sounds and it waits a few seconds to lock all four doors. This works great because my son is slow at getting out. His, just locks. Also, the DIC is a few bells and whistles short. No cloth on the upper door panel. etc... etc... VALUE ENGINEERING. :D

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      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!
