    Both left and right brake lights not working, third brake light works

    Perhaps they are, but there was a very tiny little picture on the packaging indicating that we should not touch the surface.

    Both left and right brake lights not working, third brake light works

    Problem solved. I'd like to say that I performed some brilliant episode of deep electronic analysis and replaced a 20' harness that weaved from the engine compartment into the dash, which I had to R&R, through a channel in the body all the way to the rear of the vehicle. But being that I am an...

    Both left and right brake lights not working, third brake light works

    Just as the title states, both the left and right brake lights are out but the 3rd brake like works. I just changed one lamp about 6 months ago and admitedly I have not checked the bulbs other than I did remove and reinsert. Is this a known problem with an obscure solution?

    2012 Chevy Tahoe low oil pressure/ shop says I need new engine!

    Let me share my experience with the similar symptoms: We have a 2007 Tahoe, 145000 miles. Suddenly the low oil pressure/turn engine off light came on. Oil level was fine. Light went off. Days later same thing. I paid a mechanic $500 to replace the sensor with an AC Delco premium INCLUDING...

    '07 GMC Yukon XL Denail Throttle Position Sensor

    My 2007 Tahoe just put out this code. Did replacing the TPS solve the problem?

    I have learned my lesson a few times with non-OEM parts such as sensors. it is particularly maddening when it is a tough part to get to. Thanks for you reply and wisdom-sharing.

    DTC C0045-00 Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor

    My 2007 Tahoe has thrown the C0045-00 left rear wheel speed sensor. My thought is to replace the sensor, and of course look for wiring issues. Just curious is this is a common problem and solution for this error code before I crawl on my back and replace it. The Tahoe has about 125000 miles...

    Smell gas fumes by filler cap

    Don't forget to cover the hole when you're done. I actually helped my son change his fuel pump on his 2016 Chevy SS. We had access to a lift and he is more fearless than I. I took about 3 evenings to RR the pump. Not that bad given the $$ staying in his pocket.

    Smell gas fumes by filler cap

    They dropped the price by $200 probably because I told him they were overpriced. They ran into difficulties with trying to get the lines off so they at least put some extra hours into it. My non-dealer mechanic is about as old as me and he likely did not want to drop the tank, don't know for...

    Smell gas fumes by filler cap

    I decided to take it to the dealer as my mechanic punted on it. They found it right away and is as 89Suburban describes it: Leak was around the fuel pump. Wiill replace the pump and 2 lines that connect to it as the connections are frozen. $1600 OUCH! I remember when fuel pumps were $25, 2...

    Smell gas fumes by filler cap

    It has about 115,000 on it. We live in Indiana so they do throw salt down. I have no rust showing on the body panels and keep it washed underneath. Certainly there could be rust on the top of the tank.

    Smell gas fumes by filler cap

    The smell has gone on for about 4 months, and I am careful to not spill when I am filling it up. Thx.

    Smell gas fumes by filler cap

    I have noticed the smell of gas by the left rear of our 2007 Tahoe 5.3. There are no codes being thrown. Sometimes it takes a few extra turns of the starter to get it to run, but not always. No evidence of gas leaks that I can see, or on the ground. Any ideas?

    Inner fender rubs on tires, is there a replacement for larger wheels?

    Yes, I have something to look forward to! 99,920 miles to go! Another option is just don't turn the wheels hard.

    Inner fender rubs on tires, is there a replacement for larger wheels?

    Not sure what you mean by "cut the plastic backing plate". I have not removed the inner fender. Is the backing plate behind the inner fender that would prevent the inner fender from being stretched away from the tire? Thanks for your response.

    Inner fender rubs on tires, is there a replacement for larger wheels?

    Hi folks. I just put slightly oversized wheels and tires on our 2007 Tahoe. Actually, they are stock 20" wheels and tires off a 2021 Tahoe. They rub slightly on the front on hard turns. Does someone sell an aftermarket liner that can solve this problem?

    2007 Tahoe won't shift into Reverse

    We live in the Indy area and get a fair amount of snow on the roads, hence are cars get corrosion issues. When we were looking at used Tahoes, Yukons, and even an Escalade the mileage ranged from about 50-70k. We noticed that consistently there was body rot developing on the seam on the bottom...

    2007 Tahoe won't shift into Reverse

    Another update: Spent about 20 minutes on the phone with a 3rd appeal to GM service. They said, "with a vehicle of that age, not knowing if the previous owner may have abused the transmission like towing over its limit, and not knowing if the car was serviced properly....we cannot do anything...

    2007 Tahoe won't shift into Reverse

    UPDATE: Chevy dealer declared that the tranny is bad and needs to be replaced for $3200!! I bought this Tahoe to replace my '95 that has 170k miles. Reason was it has the original engine and trans and I wanted to get one with less miles ('07 has 24k) for reliability purposes. So what...

    2007 Tahoe won't shift into Reverse

    Our LT decided to not shift into Reverse today. You can move the shifter just fine. It is parked against a curb and it seems that it wants to go forward in the forward gears against the curb. It actually felt like in N and R it was also going forward. Very strange. Any ideas?
