#245 of 357 Re: Remote Starter Prep Package 2008 Sierra SLE [rippstein] by rippstein Oct 26, 2008 (9:09 am)
Replying to: rippstein (Oct 24, 2008 11:34 am) About "I think I may have been misled or perhaps asked a wrong question. Want to talk (better educated) with salesman when he returns about our original sales conversaion. Thanks." Now better educated, I learned that GM part 17801236 at $195 comes with two remote-start clickers (technically about $100 each) and like spare keys must be specially coded to the truck by a technician using special tools, something an owner can't do, thus a labor charge for several hours work. So, I wasn't misled, just asked wrong questions before I bought a truck model without the "complete" remote start option. Live and learn. My salesman was correct.

Replying to: hashil (Nov 02, 2008 10:48 pm) On the inside of the truck there is a relay center.The relay is marked(on the relay cover)as the inadvertent power.That is the relay in the courtesy light circuit.You can swap it with the one out of the Tahoe.The relay center is on the firewall above where yout left foot would be.Make sure you swap the bcm's back to the proper vehicle the vin is stored in there and will cause problems.That's if it didn't already.
#252 of 357 lights issue by cajun1977 Nov 04, 2008 (3:07 pm)
hey guys i just bought an 06 sierra 1500 and so far im loving the truck 5.3 4x4, but i noticed when im raising a window with the power switch all the instrument lights get real dim and i can see the headlights seem to dim somewhat also, is this normal from power windows or is this an electrical issue?

#253 of 357 Update..... Re: Turn Signal Problems [marcb2] by marcb2 Nov 04, 2008 (5:08 pm)
Replying to: marcb2 (Jun 09, 2007 12:13 pm) To give everyone an update on this ( sorry for the long delay on this)......... As it turned out, there was a light in the "cluster" above the bed that had burned out. I replaced every bulb on the exterior of the truck, with this set being the last set. Once that set was replaced, I had no more issues with this. Replies to this message: miked940 (Nov 05, 2008 7:00 pm) jimbuck2009 (Mar 17, 2009 7:31 am)
#254 of 357 Re: lights issue [cajun1977] by barnowl3 Nov 05, 2008 (4:13 am)
Replying to: cajun1977 (Nov 04, 2008 3:07 pm) That does not sound right. You may have a bad motor or some type of problem from the factory with the wiring.Is the window straining on the way up? I have had several power windows fail in my 2000 and 2003, the problem is usually a broken transmission mechanism ( cables, etc.). Our winters likely don't help as it is normal for the window to freeze. The problem has not been the motor, nor do I recall the lights getting dim. If it's still under warranty, take it in and I am sure they will replace the mechanism and possibly the motor, it is common warranty failure.
