Check the wiring harnesses that pass thru the door jambs into the doors. My dad had a Chevy Van that the wires broke right in the rubber accordian. The power windows were intermittant. The insulation was so brittle it cracked and eventually the copper wire broke.

I have a question similar to this -

 

I own a 1999 (OBS) Yukon and my rear barn doors haven't locked since I bought the truck used 2 years ago. When I lock the doors (either with the remote or the switch on the door) all 4 side doors lock but not the barn doors. I bought my truck used and never got a door key with it, just an ignition key that doesn't fit in the lock cylinders of the doors.

 

Any idea what the problem might be? Thanks.

I had that problem with my Burb and I ended up taking a pencil eraser to the pins and contacts and then WD-40'd them,push the pins in and out a few times ..... they are the pins and contacts when the barn doors meet at the top to charge the system....try that good luck it worked for me,mine were tarnished alot.

It was real easy! Take door panel off, and drill out the two pop rivits holding the bracket . You will see the rubber groumet holding the lock arm, gently pull it off and slide assembly out of armrest hole. The kit from dealer comes with the new rivits . Reassemble in the reverse order. Looks alot more intimatidating than it is. You donot have to take inner door panel off like advised in other forums. GOOD LUCK!

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can only guess as well that something was clicked on that brought you to the half ton choices by accident. By all means try again and chose the 3500 and sort out that its the cab and box configuration you want and choose four wheel drive ( rather obvious to have a transfer case ) and to make sure the dually isn't chosen. I find or at least did a couple of years ago when I was sifting through the options that it would sometimes jump ahead after choosing the series of truck and in this case 3500 and skip some of the other initial configuration choices and have to watch the heading bar and sometimes back up by choosing the first in the series of option break downs. I think sometimes the computer will remember items that were last chosen and skip over the first part. Anyway go through it all and depending on the trim level chosen and I think the LT is one that may fall into that where the option of having the 4 high auto transfer case can be chosen, where as a High Country doesn't show that option as it just comes with the fancier ( not necessarily better though in terms of potential problems ) transfer case but for sure both transfer case choices are equipped with high and low range in the HD truck segment. Like Newdude said who works at a dealership, its the half tons that are the ones that will come with the single speed unless certain options or trim levels are chosen that add the two speed transfer case but as your looking at an HD, you don't have to worry about that hot mess.    One item that at least didn't show up and not sure if it does yet or not in the HD options on the manufactures pubic website is the upfitter in cab switch option if one is desiring that. Unfortunately its not wired in at the factory but the panel with the switches is on the dash but the wiring harness to be installed gets tossed under the rear seat to be installed by whomever after the fact to complete the installation.

      Yesterday we brought home a 6yr  old Havanese dog from a nearby SPCA.  We've had her for 24 hours and we are delighted with how well she is adjusting to her new home.  It  was a huge decision to adopt a dog at this stage in our lives but we believe we made the right choice!   it was reported that her first 6 years were ones of neglect.  I think she's already realizing her life is going to get a whole lot better...  so is ours!

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      No doubt, I definitely agree with you. However, considering the 6.2 and 3.0 have been catastrophically failing with very little miles, I figured I would put trouble free. I’m at 18,4xx and still not a single issue.

      It’s never dry here but it gets hot. My 4 vehicles I keep at home drive an 18 mile loop. One 6 days a week. Two about 3 days each and one once a month. Only one goes on trips about 4 times a year 1000 to 2000 miles each time. One 26 years old gets driven once a month for 22 years. One 14 years old goes 6 days a week. The other two are recent at 2 and 4 years. All are performing normal no extra service other than that would be half of recommended or severe service in the maintenance manual. No extra water or steam out the exhaust or premature plug wear. I would consider an 18 mile loop would be enough. So apparently once a month at 18 miles for 22 years has kept the collector car running well. About 45 minutes a month.
