- Had a major issue on my 1991 sierra, the dashboard lights went out with the tail lights, and front parking lights, i searched alot online and i found alot of different solutions that didnt work for me, and then i figure it out so i decided to make a video, hope it helps, leave a coment or like, this would help for and 88-04 silverado/sierra/c1500 wiring ground issue
Even with all their little quirk's and issues, still got to love these old Chevy trucks. I can't believe I'm calling a 90s model old.
Gages going crazy on my 88 Chevy k2500 Silverado cleaned all grounds under hood today been looking for info for grounds under dash !!! Your The Man !!! Thank you for sharing this video, God Bless
My friend has a 1990 Silverado with this exact issues and I jumped that ground to a better ground and it worked!! You saved me alot of hours diagnose this problem. Thanks for sharing!!
Vidal V Dabis Sr glad i could help!!! 🙌🏽
I have the exact same issue, and this is the first video I've seen to possibly diagnose it. Thank you for sharing, I'll give it a try.
The problem I had was the lights worked fine but randomly blew that fuse...and would continue to do so until you cycled the ignition! Then you could replace the fuse and everything would work again until the next bump and BAM blown fuse again...searched for 2 years for this problem and FINALLY YOUR VIDEO!!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Craig Diamond you are welcome bro!!! Man i took two weeks and alot of research and i seriously thought it would help people since i couldnt find any detailed video about this
@@gallardosmobiledetails3504 update: Well it blew the fuse again tonight, so I guess I still have a phantom problem...
Craig Diamond ahhh man that sucks
Driving back from Atlanta when I got pulled over twice for no tail lights, two hours later I come across this video and I got the idea from you so thanks my guy!
A Guy On A Couch Glad i can help bro hope it helped
Me too
Be careful in Atlanta
I just experience this problem a few days ago now I gt it u r the man bro 💯
Tone Gaines thats awesome glad it helped
Gallardos Mobile Details thanks dude life saver
Thanks for making this video, I had this problem for the past 2 year's!
Mine is an 86' I've been doing a slow roll restoration on. This last couple days, I've been off for Christmas, and it's been 65° here in Tennessee. So I decided to pull the dash pad out, I've ordered a new one, in the process of that I discovered why my defrost was working to good, it's a duct work issue. So I went in on that. My instrument panel lights were only about 1/2 of them working. So I figured bulbs but when I pulled it out the bulbs were mostly good had a couple blown but not the main problem. Today in putting everything back to make it where I could drive around the farm some this week I find that I have, excluding dash, which is still in the back of the truck, all my lights work except tail lights, I've got head, brake, and turn signal lights, as I type this it's dawning on me I did not check to see if I had running lights. I was thinking maybe a ground somewhere. While my 86 is a little different it has a very similar looking box under the steering column I had no idea what it was. I'll check it in the morning... That was a good video dude. The trouble shooting run down there was money, very straightforward.... Edit: maybe this edit can be useful to someone as far as cross over info. This same ground wire was, as it turns out the issue with my 86'. To think I almost didn't watch your video when you said 91' because I thought that info on 73'-86' could be useful to me
Different truck same problem helped a bunch 👍
Thank you, same bad ground connection I had (horn and running-parking lights weren't working)...just passed my inspection now. Definitely not a good ground design if all our trucks are having the same issue. Mine was an 1989 Sierra...had that same ground terminal behind connector.
Literally stopped the video after you showed me how to fix it not even 8 min later my issue was fixed . Thanks my guy you a real G for this video
When i made the video there wasnt a single video on this issue and man has it helped thousands!!! 🙏🏽
Thank you. I'm chasing a similar issue on my 96 GMC Sierra! This gives me a place to start!
Thanks! I hope this solves my issue! The parking lights fuse blows as soon as I push them on. I replaced the light switch and turn signal switch and still blows the fuse. Hopefully your video takes care of my trucks issue with the parking lights fuse blowing!
did doing this not blow your fuse again ??
My 90 chevy silverado is having that same problem right now. I am going to check out the ground now thank you for posting this video.
Dude, you just saved my life! Thank you so much! 🤟🙏
This is helpful. '93 Chevy 1500 taillights went completely out yesterday. Then turn on switch started smoking, telling me it's that ground wire. Thanks for this...
You are welcome
Hey thanks bro,my truck 1992 Silverado did the exact same thing tonight & I was rushing through town to get home before I got pulled over for no lights ,checking fuses to,was thinking switch to,but now I’m going to check the ground, I hate electrical man, a lil thing can turn on you man,& before you know it you have the hole dang dash pulled out trying to solve the problem,so I just wanted to say thanks for the heads up,I kind of hate to work on things in the dark,I have lights & stuff,but I’ll do it in the morning,but hey thanks again ,pretty sure it’s the same thing, ok bro later & thanks.
I actually really appreciate this cause my fuse was blown and I couldn’t figure out why my lights and stuff weren’t working
Oh my goodness! I've been trying to figure this out forever let's say the last 4 months. I am going to do this today. I have figured out that it was the ground I just didn't know where. I replaced the fuses so many times IT'S ridiculous🤔🤨🤯 thank you, thank you, thank you. 😊
Hope it solved the issue, this seems to be a comun problem
just got home... working nights... cops giving me crap all the way. Brakes and turn work no dash no tail...... MAN I think you got this! Going to bed find out in the morning. Thanks so much
Crap.... still have a short in mine. New tail lights and harness in the back. Put in new fuse and about 5 miles pop.... goes the fuse... dang.
@@zerolatitude2923 did you find a fix for it
I want to thank you! I went straight to that ground cable. I sand it, grease it with dielectric. Then,,,,, nothing. Then listened to some corridos went back and wiggle the cable and lights turned on. Thank you!
eddie14177 glad it helped
@@gallardosmobiledetails3504 yeah now I have to deal with the smoke. I think the valve seals are toast. Got this 90 chev for very cheap now it's my new project. Thanks again bro.
Thanks for the video tip, I'm chasing the same problem also. I found my fuse block terminals are loose causing the parking lamp fuse to blow. Fuse practically falls out.
Thank You!!! Brother I’m Purdy sure you just saved me a ton of headache.
Cameron Holmes im glad i did man, dude i tore appart my whole dash before i found this, what a headache
Awesome info about the ground. Saved me a ton of time or learning the hard way.
Cant believe how many people with same issue this video blew upp
@@gallardosmobiledetails3504 It is helpful information, that’s a common issue.
I did end up having to replace the headlight switch recently. Probably was original from ‘89 and contacts well worn. Hooking up a trailer with a bad trailer harness ground did it in I think.
I hope with cleaning up the ground and having the new switch in, there should be many trouble free years of use.
Dude been at this for the past month, if you’re reading this thank you so muchh🦍
@@6ryannn-_- did it work? Yu figured it out? Man i cant believe so many years later this video keeps getting ciews 😂😂😂
@@gallardosmobiledetails3504 well it wasnt that, but i did check those out thinking it was the problem. The fuse is loose af in the relay box.😑
Thanks man this really helped US Army vet

Great video man! I really thought this was gonna do it for my 91 but it didn’t. My fuses are good, the ground wire is good and all my bulbs are good. But my rear parking lights and turn signals don’t wanna kick on :(
@@cesarordonez1000 i have another video on my yukon check it out
If your dash lights don't work check the "Illumination fuse", it's usually a 10a fuse. Checked mine after this video game me an idea and it worked! I have a 95 Chevy 1500.
You are the champion 🏆🏆🏆. I fixed mine thanks to you 🥇
Thats bad ass
Hell yeah best clip I seen so far I'm having the sams issue thank you

bill schneks I seriously hope it works, you would think a stupid ground wouldnt cause all that damage but on my truck it did, keep me posted
Thanks man. This was a great help and everything is working now!!!
Thats whats up man im so glad it helped you out 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
"battle lights". My truck didn't come with those but does sound like a good idea. Got me thinking.
@@gallardosmobiledetails3504 thank you for this video it helped out a lot I had the same issue and just was focused on the switch mainly messed around with the switch for a while , got a new one, the while shebang. Finally testing this now that I see your video . I really hope it works... crossing my fingers! Thanks so much I'll let you know. Cuz my fuse isn't blown but that doesn't mean it isn't the problem so we'll see! Thanks
Tears dash apart before check fuse lol
Nice find on the ground tho
Thanks. Hard to see where exactly is, but this gave me a clue. Let uou know if works.
thanks for taking the time to make this man!
Thanks for the video helped me out with my issue 💯
great vid, thanks for posting this, it was a big help!!
Appreciate the video there's not much on stuff like that and it helped me out
eliyah yocham gladnit helped man
Thanks, brotha! Nice trucks, BTW.
great job my truck has that same problem tank you
Hector Torres glad this helped
Thanks for the video! I'm still searching for the issue in my 96 GMC Jimmy. Tried bulbs, dimmer, headlight/parking light switch and still the 20amp fuse pops. Next I suppose I'll tear apart the dash to see what I see.
BennytheJohnson1 check the grounds yet???
Not yet! That's definitely next on the checklist. Are grounds usually black wires ya think? Suppose I can consult with a Chilton book too to find where those are.
BennytheJohnson1 not familiar with jimmy but now a days a quick google search and you will find them online(the diagrams for the grounds)
Much appreciated! I'll check into that and get back to you. Thanks again for the help!
Thanks for the heads up on the fix for tail lights my man
I have this same problem, found out the fuse was blown out, I replaced it and it worked for a sec and it blew the fuse up, now my button to lock the doors don't work anymore. I'm gonna try this tomorrow
Same year and everything, hopefully this fixes the issue and also my horn 😂
I really hope this helps man keep me posted
@@gallardosmobiledetails3504 it worked for a while but then it blew the fuse up, might be something else
Thank you. Same problem with my Chevy
Just Jeanie no problem
@@gallardosmobiledetails3504 my horn, lighter and dash lights went out. But both of green turn signal lights stay on for some reason. Right now I'm trying to repair my fuel line on my Audi. I broke it when I was changing out my fuel filter, right by the banjo bolt. So I bought some more line, but I can't attach the 2 together. I put a brass connecter that was barbed on each side and then clamped both sides..... And it still leaked!!! 😡
Thanka man this fixed my 87 v1500 🍻
thank you man ur the best
Luis Perez glad it helped you bro
It worked for me, thanks bro. I owe you a beer.
krumz228 haha man glad it helped you out 🙌🏽🙌🏽 🍻
Thank you bro
I'm'a test this out tomorrow! I've got the same problem
Life saver brotha much appreciated it 🙏🏼👍🏽👍🏽
AWSOME! THAT WAS MY PROBLEM! ON A 1994 GMC SIERRA 2500
Thanks for that I would never no about that...
We must be related. Thanks partner. I'll check the ground before I go to pull n save and try to find a switch.
Yeah I had issues with ground to similar just like yours. Thanks man
Well mine was doing the same thing. Found your vid. Went straight for that ground. Mine was nice and clean but still cleaned it. Now...it didn’t work for me so I went into the switch and found the connection inside the switch super corroded and old electrical grease built up causing the tabs to not make any connection. I’d like to show a pic but it won’t let me post one.
Lester Rusher before i found issue with mine i did replace the entire switch for the lights
It was the turn signal/ headlight switch on my 95 nissan truck. Sometimes they would work and sometimes not, it also affected my rear brake marker lights (parking lights) when the dash lights weren't working.
Clean work and thank you
Nice trucks
Love the blue
I’ll have to try this on my 99 Tahoe. The headlights shut off on their own then turn back on after a few minutes and I’ve noticed the headlight switch get pretty hot. All other lights stay on with no issues.
I have the same truck. Everything works except for the brake lights. Are the break lights grounded at that ground location also?
ROOKIE QUESTION... so is the radio on a completely different system than all that?
Because someone hooked up a radio for me and been having problems since for the tail lights and stuff.
Wow, thank you.
thank you had same issue with my 91, was a ground issue just like you had. I bought the truck with a bad transmission, and ended up rebuilding the engine and trans, went to do a night drive and didnt have taillights. took the lights out, checked the harness on the frame rail ( total bitch), tried unplugging shit and it was this the whole time
Dude im happy this has helped alot of people
Thanks for the video bro it helped me
I have the same issue on my 92 blazer k1500 and this is the only video I came across with the same issue. Where does this ground come from?
fixed my problem!!! thank you
Great video! Thx
Thank yoi
I have a 94 chevy 3500 and the dash lights not working but the tail lights are working what did you do besides the ground
Yea thanks have to check my out
I have no reverse lights on my truck !! Any idea what is the problen ! Just the back up lights !
My 1993 Chevy Silverado's headlights won't come on. I already replaced the headlight switch & no change. All the fuses work. What else could I do to fix it?
Hi & was that the only ground i have a 88 & i cant get no lights i straight wired the headlights & now no taillights can u help
