GMC Truck Turn Signal Problems

[@andrewbrown151]

I was driving with my kids in 2018 Silverado completely stock, no modifications at all and suddenly...lost power for about 45 secs... Pulled off as best as i could... Got the alert "theft detection" and to cycle driver side window up and down.. restarted the truck and the turn signals were sending a fault and flashing faster than normal... I was thinking the worst ... Checked all fuses and relays.. wondering what in the world is going on.. then o found your video and tried it.. they were full of corrosion and dirt.. electrical cleaning spray and dielectric grease .. no more issues... You saved me a ton of $ and time .... Thank you ao much... Very grateful to you for making this video.... I find it crazy that one electrical plug related to turn signals can shut the entire vehicle... I think Im gonna be switching to something more "old school" maybe a 80's bronco or something i can actually work on

[@JimiKiwi]

Wow! It's crazy how the smallest glitch can screw things up in a big way. I'm glad you got it straightened out. Best of luck!

[@arcemisavila4382]

Thank you for the video! Im glad i wasnt the only one who couldnt find that flasher relay to test. I cleaned the corrosion and wow it worked! Thank you!

Dude. Thanks. My 2011 Silverado had the same issue. Your fix worked for me. Thanks again.

[@JimiKiwi]

@@timjarvis6779 Fantastic! I'm glad it worked for you. Nice work!

[@rallybro2]

Thanks, man, this was just what I needed. My '08 Silverado started flashing fast, but all the elements were still lighting up. Popping the leftmost (driver side) blue connector was the one that I think did it. I did them all, off and back on, didn't notice any dirt or corrosion, but the contact must be improved anyway, 'cause now I've got normal blink speeds! Very helpful and well done.

[@JimiKiwi]

Fantastic! We're happy to hear it. Thanks for letting us know.

Hey thanks so much for your video, my 2009 Chevy was having the same issues! You saved me a trip to the parts store for new bulbs!!! You helped me fix the problem👍🏽

Did you have any problem with burning up headlight bulbs I have to replace them like every 2 months and it’s the driver side every time

[@JimiKiwi]

Not yet, thankfully!

[@stephenmacek5655]

I had the same symptoms on my 2012 GMC Sierra - no left rear turn signals, although bulbs were good. Front signals worked, but blinked very fast. Your suggestion worked. I took the plugs off the junction box, put them back on and that fix the problem. Thanks!

[@JimiKiwi]

Nice! It's always good when a fix is free.

[@robbietinker7697]

Mine had some corrosion on the top (gray plug). Went ahead and removed the board that all the plugs on it and ran some sand paper across all the terminals. Worked like a charm so thanks! Always appreciate a free fix .

[@JimiKiwi]

Heck yes! Me too, Robbie. I was racking my brain and didn't want to spend hundreds at the dealership. I'm glad it worked out for you.

[@film-john]

Got to love KZbin. Glad I found this. My 09 GMC Sierra did the fast blinking with nothing happening at the left rear. This was after a fuel pump replacement. Found that connector after watching this video and found it wasn't fully seated. Had to clean the dirt and corrosion around the plug so it would seat completely and my signal works again. I need to get rid of this old crusty truck lol.

[@JimiKiwi]

Kickass! Glad to hear you got it figured out!

[@jwhatfield2714]

Jimi you saved my wall. Yes I was about to beat it down with my head. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Only AFTER replacing bulbs that were still good and a fuse that was also, still good did I find your video. Went straight outside cleaned the sand, grit, general debris. And *PRESTO*! Thanks man. I appreciate ya.

@@JimiKiwi ALOHA FROM HAWAII 🌺

[@martinbuschau3209]

I referenced your video to check my 2011 Sierra 1500 this morning. My driver's side signals don't respond in any way but the hazards do so I was thinking this had an outside chance of being the source of the issue. Still I really appreciated the video and it got me looking at a part of the truck I wasn't aware of. Last week I changed out the rear differential oil so I got to see how dirty and rusty the area was (the top of the spare which may have never been dropped before this was totally filthy). I was actually surprised to see how clean the insides of the four plug connectors in the area were. I'm going to look more around the Body Control Module (BCM) wiring and possibly the BCM itself. Thank you Jimikiwi!!!

[@JimiKiwi]

Thanks! I hope you find the source of the issue. I'm glad to hear you're keeping up maintenance on your truck. Let us know what you find out. Inquiring minds want to know.

[@KevinSanchez-ts4pr]

Did you fix the problem? I’m having somewhat the same issue When I hit my remote key to lock and unlock my 07 silverado, both turn signals on the driver side blink once but when I try flipping on the turn signal or hazards, they won’t blink or nothing, however my driver side towing mirror has a turn signal bulb on the back of it and that does blink when turn signal is activated I’m sure I’ll figure it out on my next day off

[@trentmcgrath5603]

Hoping this comment gets noticed. I have a 2010 Silverado 1500. Brand new head lights and tail lights. Wired correctly with load resistors. Checked all the fuses as well. But god forbid if I turn that switch to the right or left it keeps hyper flashing. Do you recommend checking those back connections at the junction box still as a potential fix?

[@JimiKiwi]

It's a good place to start. You mentioned wired with load resistors. Are they LED?

[@mitchbaker8989]

Cleaned and greased these connectors and it fixed the problem for about two days. Not sure what else could be going on here. All lights come on when using the remote start, but as soon as I toggle the ignition on, all bulbs in the rear driver housing go out. Driving me crazy!

[@JimiKiwi]

Hmmm... I'm not sure. I know that I have to clean this connector about once a year. Otherwise, it acts up again. Maybe try cleaning it up again?

Short and sweet, something for me to check! Also some Chevy trucks of 2000's era have a history of burning out the flasher relay found under the dash panel below the steering column, to possibly help future viewers.

Thank you for this--im gonna go check my '14 chevy silverado. After a heavy snow, I used a set of chains that whipped the ever-loving daylight out of the wheel well (speed increased without pullout for removal). Next time I started my truck up, I had the issue with my rear passenger turn signal not working, and haven't been able to track down why. Based on location and what happened, I'll check this next.

[@Chief6067]

I forgot to ask, but what did you use to clean the contacts with? Would a break clean spray work? Or just getting in there with a brass brush and cleaning first then spray with brake clean or carb cleaner

[@JimiKiwi]

Any auto parts or Walmart carry cleaners specifically formulated to clean electrical connections without damage. I don't know what the difference is, but is a good thing to have around your shop/garage. Sometimes the cleaner will do the trick. Sometimes a bit of scrubbing is needed. Brass brush is a good idea.

[@Chief6067]

Thanks for the heads up on the cleaners. Im actually heading out now to look for it. Will keep in touch with my progress. Thanks again for all your help 😎👍👍

I have a 1997 GMC cut-a-way Savana 3500 and the blinker is also flashing fast; I have gone though about everything I can find, but after watching this I will go dig around and see if there is a connector I didn't find. LOL.

[@jamesmoreno7739]

Thank for the video! Will send my son the link to your video. He is experiencing the same situation with is 2018 Silverado on the right side. He has changed the bulb and it work for a few weeks then started messing up again. The dealership Service Manager told him it is the controller module. I don't believe it is the module. Will let you know what we find out.

[@benjsirski]

Having a similar situation with my 02 Silverado. Do you think that would be the same set up and what did you use to clean the terminal ?

[@JimiKiwi]

I'm not sure, but it's worth a peak under the bumper. I used a "CRC" product called QD Electronic Cleaner, but any electric contact cleaner should work. Come to think of it, 2002 might still have the flasher relay. Either way, good luck and let us know how it goes.

[@JimiKiwi]

Awesome

[@jeffhicklin4653]

Normally you don't have corrosion on the contacts/terminals in the connectors at that junction block, but you will have a lot of sand, grit, etc. that can lead to bad connections. Typical materials are steel that is coated to prevent corrosion, and nonferrous materials like copper and brass that do not corrode easily, but will given the right conditions. The connectors can also become loose just because of the location where the truck bed/suspension bounce around more than the front of the truck. Vehicles including trucks have a safety feature in the firmware that is looking for resistance in the wiring to ensure the bulbs are present and presumably working. For some vehicles, the firmware is only looking at the rear lights, which makes sense when you consider which lights are most important when it comes to safety. The car behind you is not really affected if you have no lights in the front of the vehicle, but is affected if your rear lights are not working. The firmware creates the "hyper-flashing" intentionally as a way to let you know you have a problem.

For light corrosion, any electrical contact cleaner should work. I use permatex or wd40 brand contact cleaner. Not for any reason. It's just what is locally available.

Lee Steele it's computerized. It's not a regular flasher like we're used to.

[@crlaw75]

It is programmed through the body control moduele (BCM) unit.

there is no flasher. it's programmed thru the body module. the flasher sound & warning chimes are programmed thru that as well & the flasher clicking, & warning chimes are transmitted thru the driver's side front speaker.
