Replying to: whatnxt (Jul 31, 2009 5:39 pm) The dealer installed the aftermarket alarm when you originally bought the truck?   Sounds like something is shorting to ground as in bad wiring.

Replying to: bob2007chevy (Jul 28, 2009 2:52 pm) I have had many similar problems. I have a 2006 GMC sierra 1500 4x4.. and my brake lights will burn out almost every other month, along with the parking amber lights. Just the other day i was headed to work and pushed in the cigg. lighter and smoke started rolling out from under my dash. I had to pull over and let the smoke clear out. I could smell burnt rubber. then the next day, I stopped at the gas station and turned the truck off, and it wouldnt even turn off. then it said service 4x4 system, which had never been used. I drove home unhooked the battery to turn it off, still wouldnt turn off, then i unplugged fuses untill it would turn off. I took it to the dealership and talked to gmc customer service .. it now needs 1400$ worth of parts and new wiring harness. gmc tells me they cant assist in payment because there was no mechanical defect?? im not to sure how it was my fault at all, and how it wasnt a defect. hopefully this doesnt happen to your truck, i know i won;t buy another one.

Replying to: grampa2 (Aug 24, 2009 5:06 am) I disconnected my battery for about 10 hrs. After reconnecting it my factory alarm went off like it did previous times in the middle of the nite. Took about 1 hr after being reconnected before it went off again. Anybody know who to contact about a factory alarm. GMC dealers want $100 to check it out. Trying to save some money if it is something simple.

#329 of 357 2004 SS Turn signals by 2004ssguy Aug 31, 2009 (9:48 pm)
I have a 2004 SS and the left turn signal won't work sometimes. It won't light up any of the lights even the dash and is very sparatic. Won't ever do it when it's in the shop. I have already but in a new turn signal switch which changed nothing. Sometimes you can hear a really clicking really fast. Help
