Good point! A multimeter can really help isolate the issue. If you’re not sure how to use one, there are many tutorials online.
I once had a problem with my headlights flickering. It turned out to be a faulty headlight relay. It wasn’t hard to replace, and it solved the issue immediately.
Headlight relay issues can be sneaky! Great to hear you fixed that easily. This shows how important it is to go through each electrical component step by step.

Sometimes electrical problems are caused by something as simple as a bad battery connection. Make sure your terminals are clean and tight!
That’s true, I had a similar scenario and it was just a loose terminal. It’s always wise to check the obvious fixes first!
If you’re feeling adventurous, try tracking down the wiring harness for your truck. Sometimes wires can wear down and short out, leading to all sorts of headaches.
That’s a solid idea! Just be careful—those harnesses can be tricky to navigate, and I’d suggest getting a wiring diagram for your specific model.

Remember, GM trucks can be quirky, so patience is key. Sometimes solving these problems takes time, believe me, I’ve been there!

I faced a nightmare with my GM truck’s electrical system. I took it to Joe’s Auto Electric in town, and they were great! Charged me around $150 for diagnostics, but it saved me so much hassle.
Wow, that’s a good price! I usually pay about $200 for diagnostics elsewhere. I’ll have to check out Joe’s Auto Electric.
I recommend Auto Masters. They specialize in GM trucks and fixed my flickering headlights issue for $180. Great service and super friendly mechanics!

I’ve heard good things about Auto Masters! Did you have to wait long for an appointment?
It took me a week to get an appointment, but it was worth it! They do a thorough job and explain everything clearly before starting repairs.
Anyone here tried mobile mechanics? My friend had a bad experience, but I’m curious if others have found them reliable for electrical issues.
I had a mobile mechanic come for my GM truck and they were fantastic! They fixed the electrical problem right at home for a reasonable $150.
