#252 of 354 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?

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)

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. Replies to this message: cajun1977 (Nov 05, 2008 2:45 pm)

Replying to: barnowl3 (Nov 05, 2008 4:13 am) thanks for replying, no the windows do not strain going up, do you think this is a major issue something that could possibly be a huge problem till i get it in, or is it just something minor?

Replying to: marcb2 (Nov 04, 2008 5:08 pm) 2004 silverado, left turn signal on(only left)and hazards flashed. Hear its a common problem, well I did some research online and it turned out to be an easy fix. All I did was replaced the flasher behind the fuse box and it solved the problem. Was surprised how much the flasher costs though, it was $94 at dealer but you can get it at gmpartsdirect.com for $52. New flasher also has different Delco Part # then stock # and sounds much stronger when flashing. Saving receipt cause i see a recall in the future.

#259 of 354 CK1500 Body Control Module by fastestbbc Dec 01, 2008 (8:02 am)
I am having trouble with a 99k1500 that is starting and stalling. I believe it is the Passloc system, so I have went in and put a resistor in in place of the key. Key measured 2350 ohm I used a resistor pack of 2357ohm. However I am still having the same intermittent problem. I will do the 10 minute key on relearn this evening, again. If it still persists what are the thoughts for a bad BCM? And can I just get a used one and pop it in or does it need to run a relearn of some sort? What is the preceedure? thanks for the help

#261 of 354 04 Sierra Steering Wheel Controls by sporty06 Dec 22, 2008 (6:31 am)
Can the backlights for the steering wheel controls be changed? I have had almost all of mine go out one by one over the past month. It seems like each switch should have its own bulb but I can't figure out if you can replace them or not.
