Fix with NO parts (wire trick) - high beams turn (stay) on with turn signal -GMC Chevy- step by step

[@MikeOrosco]

I did it, and it worked. Easy fix. Even my grandma could do it

[@_42o]

I did it without the tester. Just used the exact holes you used and bam. Problem fixed . No more being afraid of blinding someone.

[@dannydee9919]

had the same issue on my 2005 since forever (bought brand new 8 miles off the lot) . I didn't mind it and did not feel the urge to fix it. Got pull over because cop thought I was messing with and him when signaling behind him. Turned out to be an hour stop of non stop harassment, I tried to explain to him and even showed him but his little ego was not going to let it go. cop was determined to find something to Write me a ticket .finally after noticing tint on my window, he got his wish and wrote me a fix it, mind you my windows were rolled down all the way, except my passenger had about a quarter inch up exposing that my windows had tint. sorry for the rant just venting as this happened last night.

[@Cheater6913]

Of course, you didn't mind it! because you weren't the one being flashed in the face with highlights when you would turn your signal on at a stop.

[@kevh2451]

Could there be any possible damage doing this fix? How long will it last?

[@10886dom]

Ooooor with the same amount of effort and time and $30, you could just undo 2 screws and 3 small wire harnesses and pop the bad turn signal switch out and put in a new one. That way you dont lose functionality of you're high beams.

[@ScantlessBeatz]

Bro super slick I pulled all fuses one by one pulled the relays man I found out the blinker switch inside is whats causing it all my wiring is good in my 07 trailblazer so this should fix my problem also I will do this first thing tomorrow thank you.

[@TheLonerStoner]

Yess finally someone who knows, is it the multifunction switch or the sensor??

[@teenabarrett2122]

Thanks for this video! I’m gonna try this cuz this is happening in my Chevy uplander. Great info!

[@mikedaily103]

I've seen a similar issue happen when there was a problem with the G100 ground wire connection.

[@noonespecial24]

So you just sacrifice bright lights altogether? That's not a fix. That's a temporary crutch at best. You should make that more clear in the video. All that being said, thanks for your time.

[@EvryManAWildcat]

Removing the bulbs is much easier.

[@RekySai]

There is nothing more permanent then a temporary fix that works

[@noonespecial24]

Update...... The actual fix is to replace the turn signal/dimmer switch on the steering column. It's very inexpensive and can be done in a few minutes with simple tools. That way you still have bright lights and everything works as it should. This is a known problem and there are videos on how to replace the switch.

[@samsaxtondebbiespringer1661]

I have this issue with my 2000 Deville. I do not plan to keep it much longer so I will try this. I do have a different issue I could use some help with. Do you know where I can find a diagram of how or how the rear window washer hose run from the washer reservoir to the rear window wiper?

[@nbsaddiction1522]

Have the same issue 03 Tahoe when the truck is off the high beam indicator light comes on when I open the door it goes away would this be a relay I have LEDs through out my Wagon

[@ronwigington804]

Or you can pull the high beam bulbs out. I assume, much like my 07 Terazza, your truck has independant lights for the added light when highbeams are on. But like most here, I think this is a good temp solution of your driver and highbeams are all in one.

[@Mil-usos]

Most don't just pull the bulbs, because the low beams will still flash on and off. People have gotten pulled over and ticketed for that.

[@jesuscastro4368]

If your gonna jump wires might as well take the switch out and fix it, just got done doing my 05 Chevy Tahoe. I would hit the right turn signal and the high beams would come on. Here is the video I followed kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKi9pIptj9d_q5I just fyi I didn't remove the back cover just the cover with the four screws and I didn't 3D print anything just filled the groove with some JB Weld Plastic Bonder let it set and put Dielectric grease on everything. I put it back together and it worked perfectly even got rid of the harsh click when setting and resetting the turn signal from the extra lubrication. For anyone wondering why I didn't just buy a new switch it's because I was finding them from $34 to $150 and they all had mixed reviews so I said "it's already not working right and I'm blinding people when I turn right so let's give it a try." And it worked.

[@mystery6637]

Thank you so much for your help.

[@Mil-usos]

Glad to know this video helped out. You're 🙏 🤜🤛

[@darrenmccullough2180]

I have a 2007 Yukon. When the lights are on, they turn off when using the right turn signal. I have replaced the multifunction switch. Wondering if I need to know focus on the HDLPLO?HID relay?

[@benandpheobe8916]

Happening on my 06 Pontic GP

[@victorgutierrez5826]

I GOING TO DO IT , I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF IS THE TURN SIGNAL SWITCH OR ANTHER PART UNDER THE DRIVE WEEL.

[@michaelshafer6492]

I have a 2002 GMC Yukon xl 1500 having a problem with my turning signal when I make a left or right turn my switch click off but my turning is still going clicking noise it's still on how can I fix it

[@philmanwarren3666]

what if you turn on your light and they're are dim and push the brake and the lights work normal what would cause that ?

[@geoleopeo]

worked perfect, thank you!

[@Fail-Safe-1]

On Chevy Impala as well lol!

[@Mcdashiznit]

Or replace the switch ....but this a great ez fix ...salute

[@tonysnowtexas8906]

The stick to activate the high beams or the relay ?

[@robertkirksey253]

What do you do if it won't start because the blinker switch wires was cut What DO I do now so I can still drive to the store

[@AberdolphLinklr]

I'm experiencing this now, i see through the comments, it solves the problem. Is the root of the problem a bad relay or a wire issue at the turn signal stick?

[@Mil-usos]

The root is at the turn signal stick. I believe the dealer calls it a multi function switch.

[@AberdolphLinklr]

@@Mil-usos damn..... thank you SO MUCH for the fast response!!! I'll be doing your repair this weekend.

[@Mil-usos]

Cool beans. Hope it goes well!

[@chukwuemekaonyema2716]

Will this make you lose high beam completely?

[@Mil-usos]

Yes, yes it will. As mentioned in the video, the "right way" to fix this is to replace the turn signal switch (GM multi function switch). This is a low cost and legal option for those on a budget.

[@lillagonzalez4399]

Thank you

[@vuelveatuscarnes7683]

Great temporary fix . But I would want to know what part to change to fix the problem

[@Mil-usos]

The turn signal switch. I think GM calls it "multi function switch."

[@DaleBlackBass]

@@Mil-usos yep i changed the swithch on mine and 2 years later the same problem is happening again lol.

[@willbink]

same loll​@@DaleBlackBass

[@vencizo1]

What if you just remove the high beam relay ?

[@Mil-usos]

Then the lights will flash on and off.

[@vencizo1]

@@Mil-usos thank you

[@jenniferw5095]

Yes, this issue just started on my suburban.

[@Mil-usos]

Hope this helps you out. Cheers!

[@cdb122980]

This didn't work on my 03 Chevy HD so I just took the high beam relay out for now

[@roxannapasos829]

I have the same issue but with a 2007 Buick Rendezvous 😢

[@Mil-usos]

I wouldn't be surprised if this works for the Rendezvous. GM products don't vary too widely under the hood.

[@DaveMarkellos]

It's pretty common to hear the words it's pretty common on this 04 yukon

[@RoadBl0k]

Couldn’t you just take out the high beam relay and leave it at that?

[@Mil-usos]

A lot of folks only have the high beams working. They'd have no lights at all of they did that.

[@blueberrycornbread]

great video 👍👍👍

[@davidjones3429]

why not just take out the high beam relay and be done?

[@Mil-usos]

Because then it will look like you're turning your lights on and off.

[@damondelgado4603]

Say goodbye to highbeams😪 Cool trick though.

[@chukwuemekaonyema2716]

So this will eliminate high beams? :(

[@nolove5062]

My girlfriend tahoe dose the same with headlight with right turn signal on but it turns off headlights completely with high beam indicator on in the dash

[@Mil-usos]

🤔 Man, I'd love to get my hands on that Tahoe to diagnose it. It's the curious mechanic in me lol. I'm curious to know if this wire trick would change anything headlight wise...

[@rmail99]

hmmm, permanently disable my high beams vs $40 for a new turn signal stalk. Yeah, no.

[@amgel7772090]

Crappy fix

[@3lackrecord]

Remove the high beam lights, problem solved

[@Mil-usos]

The problem most people have is that their regular lights switch to high beams. While using the turn signals, if you remove the high beams, at night you'll have no lights at all. Also, some turn signal switches fail so bad that only the high beams work. This "trick" restores full low beams and turn signal function without having to purchase a turn signal switch and having it replaced.

[@SavannahLove-jl6mx]

Putting the wire did absolutely nothing 🤣

[@michealkoch4425]

This makes no sense whatsoever. What does jumping the wire do? You literally just take out the relay and call it a day at that point.

[@Mil-usos]

If you remove the relay, the lights will turn on and off instead of switching from low to high. The wire switches the lights from low to low. Check out the other comments on this video for examples of success with this trick.
