Hi

I have a 03 Sierra 2500 with trailering package.About 3 months ago the truck started to intermittenly turn on the 4-ways when the left turn signal is on,and of course it won't do it at the dealership.I have a trailer,which I recently hooked up to see that everything was in working order.When the left signal is on in the truck(it is working properly in the truck)the 4-ways are on,on the trailer.Everything worked fine last season.I think it is the flasher module,any thoughts.

Thanks

Don't think it's in the flasher myself. If it worked fine before, I'd look into the combination switch in the column. Sounds like it might be ready to let go. May well be worth talking to a GM tech. They see this stuff every day and might have a better idea where to start.

Just to make sure I understand this correctly.

 

With no trailor connected the left turn sig lights work fine.

 

With the trailor connected the left turn sig lights on the truck work correctly, but all the turn sig lights on the trailor with flash.

2003 Z71. Got the same problem. Left turn signal, hazards flashing ( sometimes).

I Think it's multi-switch. I will investigate.

let ya know.

NO Trailer hooked also

Put a hazard flasher in both of them and call it done. GM has a bulletin that says---

Customers may comment that their hazard light flash when either the left or right turn signal is applied.

 

Recommendation/Instructions:

Replace the hazard lamp flasher (P/N 15764135 ) and not the multi-function switch.

Not a problem. I had the pleasure of finding that one before a bulletin was issued. The issue is in the relays inside the flasher. The new has changed the relays.

Thanks guys,I put in a new one this morning.Got it yesterday,thinking that's what it was.The P/N is now 10383321,the other number is obselete.That just makes you wonder, if there was a problem with them all along.I took the old one apart and it looks as if one set of contacts,was a little pitted. As if it had fused at one time and most likely did it from time to time.Everthing works great on the trailer now.

    • I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome. 
    • Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
