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.
I have added the "Thanks" donation option to the channel. I in no way ever expected, and still don't expect, tips or donations. But it is VERY helpful and highly appreciated when viewers use my links or help out in any way. I can't thank you guys enough.
The service trailer brake alarm was going off constantly on my parents 2014 Silverado. This repair took me about 10 minutes to complete, and it WORKS!! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!
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!
@BriGuyGarage thank you! And I understand. Hopefully this will fix it and all will be good. I'll let you know when I replace this and see what happens!
Rarely do I find a good fix-it video on the first try looking for a fix, but here it is. Not only did this fix my problem, you made it clear and easy to follow. Well done BriGuy!!
@@BriGuyGarage Will do. Outside chance I have an issue in the back but this is quick and cheap enough to do as an elimination/diagnosis step. 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. I snagged both the trim kit and the part through your link.
Thank you so much for your kind words, it’s extremely appreciated. The comments on this video lately have been putting a smile on my face - I’m happy to take the time to make these videos. Also, I’d you only knew the amount of times I re-record clips until I say every word perfectly! 😂
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.
I just purchased my first truck and have a learning curve. This was something I may not need to do in the future but I have to say, your video and the way you presented the repair was outstanding.
Great video! I was experiencing this issue every few days with my 2015 Silverado. I followed this video to replace trailer brake switch last week and so far the issue is resolved! Very glad for this cheap and easy fix vs several hundred dollar fix by dealer.
Thanks for the info on the part and tool set. Ordered them last night with overnight shipping. They arrived this morning and I had it swapped out in less than 20 minutes. Your video was EXTREMELY thorough and helpful!!! Thanks for the help.
Excellent video ! Clean, professional and informative. Just ordered my switch from Amazon via your link. Won't be driven nuts by the "service trailer brake" alarm an y more. Thanks again for a great video .
Very clear and concise. You described what my truck was doing exactly! This happened to me again today and I found your video. Before I got home I tried something...if you have a switch you never use, light corrosion or dirt can build up; so I worked the switch firmly a bunch of times and had no errors the rest of the day. Thanks for pointing to the right spot to work on!
I also have a 2018 Silverado exhibiting this problem. I think this video is one of the very best repair videos I have encountered. I am grateful for your guidance “BGG”! I went to the local dealership and asked how much to change the switch. They told me $96 for the switch and $145 labor, before tax. I am going to do it like you showed us!
Was yours setting of your abs and stability Trac when it would throw the service trailer system? I get the trailer system service code then abs light and stability and traction control
Just changed out this switch using your recommended trim tools and I had it changed in about 5 minutes. Super easy. Thanks for the video on how to do it. I know my dealership would have charged me hundreds to do what cost me about $20.
Great video, thanks for making it. Exactly what my 2015 had been doing for years progressively getting worse. I ordered the one in your link and changed it in ten minutes just like you said. Very happy camper. 👍
Have any of you guys not had luck replacing this? I replaced it on my 2017 duramax and still don’t have trailer brakes. The message isn’t coming on anymore but it had stopped even before the swap. But trailer brakes stopped working.
Was getting this on my 2018 Sierra but after I moved the slider a couple times it stopped and trailer brakes are working fine. But do appreciate that video!!
Just received the part, was able to install and finish everything in less than five mins. Hopefully it doesn’t show up ever again. Really appreciate this video.
Actually, I have been suffering from it for more than a year. Thank you for the quick solution. The best like and subscription for your support. I am Muhammad from Saudi Arabia, an expert in motorcycle trips.
Thank you for the video, it was most helpful. I ended up not needing to take anything apart, once you pointed out where the problem was it seemed likely that the "switch" (which is likely a rheostat) had just gotten dirty from not being used. I operated it fully back and forth a few dozen times and have not had the fault since.
@@TOORAWCEZAR The "switch" that is being replaced in the video is the horizonal slide used to manually activate the brake (upper right hand side of the dash just like shown in the video). 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 simply moved it back and forth (forth is spring loaded) a couple of dozen times and the problem went away
I thought this would cost me a arm and leg to fix. You have help my blood pressure go down. It is 18 months later after you did this video but everything happen the way you said it would but the cost of the switch doubled to $42 . Still it is better that having the dealership put it in. Thank you.
UPDATE! The aftermarket trailer brake switch that I installed in this video had failed since posting the video. I have removed it from the description and have left the GM genuine part. Be aware!
This problem is so common GM should be issuing these new switches under a recall. Tired of them putting their bs like this on the customer to pay and deal with when it’s an obvious bad batch of switches they were installing at that time
2014 GMC Sierra 1500 5.3 I didn’t replace mine I just removed it, disassembled it and cleaned the pc board and haven’t heard a peep since. Been three months now.
Very useful! I got the thing apart using a simple glazing bar, didn't need any fancy tools, but seeing it all apart was really what gave me the confidence.
Totally helpful! I appreciate your simple explanations and clear, close-up photos! 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").
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.
hell yes, i’ve been going mad not knowing where the issue is to begin with, i gave the buttons a little knock and it seemed to stay silent for the time being, ordering the part and replacing it soon !
Well done! My 2015 GMC Sierra gives me occasional warnings. I might just try electronics cleaner spray on all contacts first. Maybe try to shoot some inside the switch body as well.
LOL! 🤣 I just had this happen as I'm driving today. I'm trying to watch this video as I'm driving . Did you include the part number in the description below? After tapping that area the warning indicator went off but I'm sure it's going to go on again. Thanks! For the video.
@@greggblack9549 not sure if you have a code reader but I would plug into the OBD port and see if there's a code for that. If you replace the part and there is a code clear it. If not another alternative is to undo the battery cables and let it sit for 20 minutes and then hooked up the cables back. That'll do a reset also.
Thanks for doing this video! I have the trailer brake warning light & alarm go on intermittently whether my trailer is hooked up or not. My question is how do I know that this is the cause of this warning? Thanks!
great video however ive replace the switch and the control module over the spare tire(both gm parts) worked for 3 weeks and again back to the drawing board. any ideas?
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…
Nice vídeo you talk just the necessary. I have question my 2023 Silverado just pulled a trailer and when I apply the brake I fell like I am going over a bump’s
i changed out my trailer brake switch and the relay module at the bak of the truck and the warning lite is still on ... do i need a scanning tool to erase this ?????????
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.
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.

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.
