1 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 08/29/2014

I was in an accident in my 2004 Silverado 1500. I lost control and hit a tree on the front driver side. The insurance company declared the truck a total loss. I kept the truck and repaired all damage. The service sir bag light was on. It was not on before the wreck. It was about the third time cranking the truck before the light came on in the dash. I thought everything was functioning correctly. We had an automotive mechanic check it out with an auto scanner. It showed the box that tells the air bags to deploy had to be replaced because it sent signal for air bags to deploy but they did not.

2 Exterior Lighting problem

Failure Date: 04/13/2011

1 issue is the ac runs hot on the left side and cold on the right. Sometimes it will run all hot. . @. The dash board lights go off after I have started driving and I can not see the speed or anything on it. We had a recall on the harness a few year ago, around April 2011 or 2012 the truck would not pass state inspection at the time. I have replaced it twice already. Chevrolet manufacture reimbursed us.
