Looking for help with my 2016 Tahoe.
Couple of months ago I started having issues with it shutting off intermittently, steering wheel jerking and display message telling me to roll down the windows and a few other odd things that I can’t remember right now. Took it to the local dealer and they said it was the battery cables so we changed them and it still does it from time to time.
Today I got a message that my left turn indicator failure and the blinker flashes very fast. Turn signal works in front and back and all lights work. Not sure if this is all related or not but looking for a place to start.

When I changed battery on mine, I had to go through that message to lower window etc. Since cables can be ruled out thought maybe battery had problem. Seems like losing power at times.

The dealer did say it was cables might ask them why you are still having problems.

Batteries do go bad, even early. Have yours load tested at the auto parts store and see what the printout says. At least rule it out.
