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.

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.

Brake lights have a mind of their own.

Chevrolet Silverado 2015 silverado 2500hd 6.0 gas crew cab ltz 180000 miles
Noticed brake lights going on and off while driving while driving for the first couple miles and then they go back to normal operation. Only noticed this once the weather got cold. Then a new symptom developed as the brake lights come on while the truck is off and stay on long enough that it killed the battery. I replaced the brake pedal position sensor and re-calibrated it. Did not fix it. Got another one and did it again just in case. Same problem. No change. Truck is parked for the winter so if anyone has any ideas it would be great to get it fixed before spring.

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

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

Starts but doesnt have throttle

Chevrolet Silverado 2007 1500 0 miles
I have a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado and I can start it but it doesn't rev up nor does it have any throttle when I push the gas pedal. On my dash underneath my speedometer it says reduced engine power. I cant figure out whats wrong with it. It started this after taking off from a stop sign. Also my brake lights and tail lights dont work anymore they stopped working before the throttle thing happened. Also when i go to take off from a stop my truck jerks really hard its done that since i bought the truck. Theres 3 problems i dont have the solution for so Can someone please help me. I dont exactly remember how many miles are on it.

Issues with blinkers and tail lights and break lights

Chevrolet Silverado 2003 Extended cab 4x4 2500 hd 6.0 litter engine gas  210202 miles
So this is my bosses work truck that I drive and ever since I started working for him the blinkers act up when you hit the brakes and the brake lights don't work only the top one on the cab. When you hit the breaks the left blinker sometimes lights up and sometimes it's both. When you plug the trailer in the blinkers sometimes blink really fast and sometimes the just turn on and stay on. There really is no rhyme or reason that I have been able to figure out yet. The issues keep changing and I can't find a rhythm to it it's just so random when it's doing this. The lights have had issues since h… Read complete

No running lights

Chevrolet Silverado 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 127000 miles
I recently had an issue with the Battery Distribution Engine Compartment Fuse Block (see pic)
Truck would not start. Zero power. As a quick fix we jumped two of the terminals and that got it started. However, I have no running lights. Everything else works including headlights, brake light and blinkers. Because the Battery Distribution Engine Compartment Fuse Block will not arrive for a few days and I need to drive in the evening, I was hoping a mechanic could tell me if there is a temp fix by maybe jumping the terminals while I wait for the part to arrive. I currently have a 30 Amp inline fuse fuse so the truck will run. Please help
