Check the fuse box. I had to end up replacing the whole fuse box because the board in the fuse box gets to hot and shorts out the left side lights and also the windshield washer would make a weird sound when I used it. Replaced fuse box problem solved

@CraigIt was the ground connector to the fuse box under the hood. I tightened it down and it work but sometimes when your truck went over a bump the ground came loose again and same problem happened. Chevy really need to do something about their ground problem. Almost every Chevy truck has the same issue

@KChangI agree and glad you got it fixed.

Before taking my 2021 Silverado Trailboss into a dealership, I had changed the trailer connection cable, the connection socket on the rear bumper, and checked the fuse #84, (it was tested Good).
I explained to the dealership service technician all that had been tested and changed. I requested that the trailer brake control module be checked and replaced if needed. At first, I was told everything checked out as good. I insisted, at my cost, to go ahead and change the module. I have an extended warranty on the truck through 8/2028.
Good news, the technician managed to get the warranty company to accept a claim for the replacement of the part, $300! The replacement made the difference. I have now towed my enclosed without any warning alerts or chimes

I have a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 and I repeatedly get a "Service Trailer Brakes". I have replaced the harness plug on the bumper, the trailer brake module over the spare tire and the trailer brake controler on the dash. Still the problem persists.

Very likely a failed turn signal/brake lamp filament failure. Inspect all lights and replace bad bulbs. Retest operation again

The truck was doing fine and then all of a sudden the parking break light came on the dash. There is plenty of brake fluid. We checked that and the emergency brake works too. So why would the light be on.

Headlight stopped working

Chevrolet Silverado 1995 C1500 6 cylinder 2 wheel drive 204134 miles
They worked last night and I think I turned them on when it was still daylight and they worked. Then once it got dark I was trying to go to the store and started driving down the road and noticed they weren't working. I was just going to turn my high beams on and drive like that but they aren't even working either. My turn signals work and nothing else. Not even the back running lights. We'll actually the back brake lights do work and also the turn signals

Removing and replacing emc and starter fuses under the dash is a temporary fix as i don't frive it much due to initial stalling and then stall with system shutout, no power.

Brake

My van has got the brake too down but, as it is a vehicle with discs in each of the wheels, it does not accept any brake pads repair. What can it be?

There might be some air inside the brake lines. Or your brake pump might be failing.

What is that sound???

Chevrolet Silverado 2002 V8 230000 miles
My driver's side rear tire sounds like it's grinding rocks, and makes a very weird KKKKKKK sound anytime I am driving slow...and I have brand new breaks. It's driving me insane! NO mechanic can figure it out! And just to put it out there, I do not, nor have I ever had an Emergency Brake the entire time I have owned my truck since I bought it in 2013.
