    Thank you! I’m buying from your links so you get the commission. You should add the $ option on your YT channel bc I, and likely others, would send you a tip for saving me money by not going to the gm dealership.

    Bless your heart!! You are a life AND monet saver! I have an appt for 6.2.23 to get my truck serviced for this very same thing. I'm ordering parts now. I am 63 years old. A female. And I have never done any self maintenance on my truck because this was my deceased husband's prize possession (other than myself) lol. I was always afraid I would break something or mess something up. However, I'm going to attempt (with my daughters help) to do this myself!!!! God bless you young man!!!

      I’m so sorry for your loss. I’m sure he’d love that you’re fixing it yourself! Keep in mind that this is the most common reason for the service message, but it COULD be something else like the module itself or even wiring. The switch is a very common issue though, so let’s hope it’s that!
      Thank you for your kind words. I make these videos to encourage people and give them the confidence that they can do this stuff themselves. Good luck!

I try not to be a "parts replacer" but this case is different. Hey, while I have you... I'll look for your videos on other issues. It's really hard to find someone who doesn't stammer or trip on their own words or add a bunch of random comments. You are clear, direct and concise. The pace is great. You don't drag on or jump to the end and skip stuff. And your voice is not annoying, either. Lol. Great channel. Have a good weekend. Thanks for your work.

    Thank you for this video. I appreciate it a great deal. I purchased the same trim removal trim set from Amazon for $18.99. This is the kind of tool that you always needed but never knew existed. Thanks for enlightening me about the trim removal set as well as showing me how to replace my brake module. I got it done and didn't even curse or throw anything! It did throw a code and told me the 4WD system needed service because I disconnected all three modules as you did. Thankfully my code reader made quick work of deleting the alert. Thanks once again.

While I do use the brake system I had never had cause to use this feature so it likely developed a cruddy contact point.

I'm having this issue on my 2020 Silverado and both the Trailer folks and the Dealership are saying, "It's not our issue".. I may have to replace this switch on my own! (Nervous because I have a lease vehicle!) The switch on the 2020
    is on the right side of the steering wheel and looks a bit different.. so I might be out of my skill set in attempting this.. but will certainly go back to the dealership (after they charged me $150 to check
    out the vehicle to tell me it "isn't the truck").

    • @BriGuyGarage
      @BriGuyGarage  Рік тому +1

      Hmm.. are you getting a similar warning message on the dash? If you’re getting some sort of service light or message, it’s absolutely something that the dealer should be looking into. I would understand their response if it were an aftermarket trailer system, but they should be taking care of original equipment.

      @BriGuyGarage  3 місяці тому

      Sorry to hear neither of those modules fixed your issue. This video shows the most common reason for the error. You were right in replacing the module above the spare tire, that would’ve been my next move as well. Additionally, I recommend checking all the connectors that plug into that module, making sure they are clean and free of oxidation and debris. If they are dirty, clean up the pins and use a little dielectric grease. Carefully go over your wiring as well.
      I’m looking into any other probable causes. I’ll update if I find more info.

    Yeah I have that showing up, hood open showing up as well, ailing with stable track light coming on. The hood open was appearing more often then the others, so, purchased new hood latch and was a very easy install as well. 2 bolts, cable for hood latch and sensor. Installed it. Test drove it hood open came back on… so, now I am taking to dealership as I believe it’s the BCM. BODY CONTROL MODULE…

    Just curious does this also mean the switch is truly broken? Or does it still work with the alarm going off?

    Hey I have a question. My light comes on but only when the trailer is connected but its random. Would that point to the issue being with the trailer wire and not the truck?

    IM having this issue when my trailer is plugged in, so would that be because the switch is shot? I don't get an error message while driving daily. Only when I am trying to tow, and that's when it starts off intermittent then the alarm just becomes constant? Thanks for the help. Great video.

    • @BriGuyGarage
      @BriGuyGarage  7 місяців тому +1

      Hmm.. if it is only occurring when it is plugged in, I would suspect the truck/trailer wiring near the plug/receptacle, or perhaps the module found at the back of the truck. I haven’t personally had an issue other than the switch, so I’ll need to do some digging.
      Check for corrosion by the receptacle at the back of the truck. You’ll need to get under there and look behind the bumper as well. For the plug coming from trailer, trace the wires and make sure they’re in good condition and going to the proper locations. You should be able to easily find a wiring diagram on Google.
