#144 of 173 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD - Power Loss on Passenger Side by dula1
Feb 02, 2010 (8:58 pm)
I have lost all power on the passenger side of my Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. Locks, windows, heated seats, everything. I have checked the fuses and relays, all ok. I'm sure this is not an unusual problem. Any ideas, please?

Hi All, I read back to thread #124 where the issue was on the 04. FYI, for all of you from this thread back to #124. I have a 09 AWD and it has the Rack and Pinion that was put on the trucks I think in 08 or 07. It was replace just two weeks ago, with 1700 miles on the truck!
I had a drip I had seen under the truck at the front differential yoke, I thought and asked then to take a look during a warranty item that was fixed and they replaced the rack and pinion at the same visit.
I was told it was an a seal assembly issue for the hydraulic seal as I understand it. I will be watching it closely.
I was also told that the rack and pinion was a fix for the issues I am reading here. It would also make me think these other trucks could be retro fitted but I may be wrong about it. Also if there are many problems with many trucks it will take many NTSB complaints and a law suit probably to correct the problem. It would be better that than someone or several deaths like Toyota because it was just ignored.

Probably loose connector for that side of truck or just one bad wire (probably grnd.) in that part of the main wiring harness is my best guess,especially if it all happened at once.

I too have the rattle knock that occurs at low speeds when turning left or right and occasionally when running straight over washboard or bumpy roads. My dealer tore up the steering, replaced upper and lower shafts, boots etc. including steering gearcase but could not get the noise to stop. He worked on the truck (I saw them doing it) for 6 days and could not get it to stop. Alas! I am really perturbed by the continuous knocking. I cannot believe that so many Silverados suffer from this problem and GM does nothing. I am about to write a letter to my dealer and GM about this. If we all wrote to GM it might help solve the problem. But complaining amongs us does nothing for us.

GM came out with a new steering shaft a couple of years ago. Since my truck wasn't covered with the TSB, bought the shaft for $50, installed it and no more clunk for years now. Maybe your dealer hadn't seen the TSB? 6 hours is way too long, more like 20 minutes.

I am having this same problem with my steering at low speeds. Have you heard anything else that may be causing this? Thank you for any input that you may offer.

Had gearbox replaced by certified GM friend He also flushed fluid lines out while he had access
And he fixed the clunking steering issue by installing the upgrade for the steering column. It's like a plastic insert that must take out the slack. Previously I had the steering column super-greased that only worked temporarily.
My truck can now steer with total ease either way at any speed.

Hi Obyone: I have a "03 tahoe that ,I think, has the same "clicking" noise. I had it repaired at 12,000 miles but now, at 32,000 miles, it is back again. I do suspect, in reading some replys in Edmunds, that the dealer made the fix by using an aerosal spray method, not doing a "real" fix. So can you elaborate on the method you used to accomplish a fix and what was the description and supplier of the repair part.
Thanks
