Chevrolet Silverado owners have reported 1 problem related to tail light switch (under the exterior lighting category). The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The cab to operator communucation started slowly diminishing. Eventually all audible beeps, dings and music on the left side of the cab were shutoff. The speed control cruise was not activation, but the button would light up. Currently the left side of the truck, in the cab, is out of power. I am concerned, does this affect the air bag system too? the truck does a self diagnostics monthly and no issues were noted, but they were obvious issues that a diagnostic should have picked up a noteable change. The lighting issue I experienced were with each taillight. I would randomly blow tail light bulds. A closer look showed corrsion and obvious shorting, but no fuse was faulted. Buld was burned at the connectors. Further review it was noticed taht each tail light had water in the bottom. Traveling cased the water to short out and damage the bulb, leaving me with no rear lighting randomly. I have since drilled holes in the bottom of each tail light as there is not way to remove the moisture. I have also inspected the bulb seals and find they are firmly pressing on to the sealing surfaces, which are clean and free from road dust and grime. . . Plus they are hidden inside the body of the truck. In summary, I would like to receive some level of detail regarding the electrical issue, focusing on how it can be repaired. Regarding the lighting, this is concerning and should be a consideration for risk assessment during design.
