Re: Electrical issue? [burb] by catam

Burb,
Well I have fixed most of the problem, with my interior lights.
There is a fuse (actually 2 or 3) in the interior fuse box on the side of the dash on drivers side, labed TBC.
TBC stands for truck body controls, and could mean a great number of things. At any rate once I learned of it I pulled the relevent fuses and sure enough I had one out.
This fixed 85% of the problem. The main dome light between the first and 2nd rows still does not work, (I plan to check to connections, but haven't had a chance.) I honestly forgot to even check about the underhood light. I hope this helps, and sorry I took so long to get back to ya. CATAM.

90 Suburban Heater Problem by wmbigs

I have a weird problem. The heat blows out the heater ducts and a little out of the vent. The defrost doesn't work at all. It doesn't matter what outlet I select. If I downshift to drive, then everthing works fine until the rpm/speed come down a bit. In town it never works.
Any ideas or things to check?
Thanks, MikeB

Check your intake manifold for a vacuum leak. Many older GMs used a vacuum actuator to control duct venting.
Also check the vacuum actuator, I'd bet you have a leak somewhere, just find it, and fix or replace the leaking part.

1998 Suburban No Roof Dome Lights by hegner4

I just bought a 1998 Suburban yesterday. Very nice ride loaded 174,000 miles. I noticed one problem last night. When I open the doors I have no dome lights on the headliner but the lights on the doors all work except one. (Burned out I think haven't figured out how to change it yet.) Anyway I have tried pushing the dome light over ride button it does turn off the door lights but that is it. I took the cover off of the lights on the headliner bulbs are good tested the contacts with a multimeter. No power to the contacts. Not sure where to check next although all the fuses are good. Any ideas????

Had a similar prob on my 03 Burb. It ended up being a blown fuse. In you interior fuse box, (the one on the drivers end of the dash) there are several fuses labelled TBC which stads for truck body controls. Pull them and replace the one thats blown. Good luck and hope this helps.

'88 GMC Suburban with a problem by ozarksuburban

I am not sure how to post this on the GMC Suburban forum, so here goes, and yell away if need be
 
I have recently acquired an '88 GMC Suburban, who runs wonderfully, but be it 50 feet or 50 miles it eventually gets very weak, engine light pops on and bam she dies. I've changed plug wires, inline fuel filter, and am getting ready to change the distributor cap, but any suggestions as to what is causing this would be much appreciated as I'm beyond baffled at this point and ready to sell the thing for scrap!

service engine light by raetater

I have a 95 GMC suburban. When I set at a light or behind a school bus my engine light comes on. I have been told that it is the idle is too high at the times. I have even kicked the engine down when stopped and it still happens. Could this be a short somewhere or is this just the start of a big problem to come?

Well that didn't take long...I came to this forum to see if I was the only one who's speedometer appears to be 120mph but really I'm only driving 35mph....Right when I start my suburban it reads 30mph?? Are you still having a problem? Our Burb is an 04 with 36,000 miles~ Would love to hear if anyone else is having this problem.

Read through older posts, this issue has been discussed, I believe IIRC, that the fix is a new instrument cluster. Good luck.

This just happened on my 04 Tahoe. I believe it is an instrument cluster problem and an easy fix. Should be covered under warranty if yours still applies.
