Stop being so tall lol. I'm 6' so I'm right at the edge of being a complete PITA to get under the dash.
Had to have been the dipshits at the wash, they worked on the way there right :mad3:

I know when I go through a touchless wash I get water all over the battery and some on the fuse box. Almost like I'm missing a piece that covers up a hole but everything is there :shrug:, but never had any fused blown.
But 9 out of 10 time's I hand wash at home so it doesn't see a car wash too much in its life. Winter time I for the most part I leave it dirty, pointless to wash:nono:

I think I'm done bringing this thing to car washes, I'll just hand wash it like I do all my other trucks

Today will not be a fun day as I attempt to figure out what's back feeding the parking lights every time I hit the brakes, has to be a bad ground somewhere...I'll start by removing the LED tail lights and work my way up to the LED parking lights in the front

I'm also going to swap the turn signal stalk with the Escalade stalk since I broke the red hazard lights switch removing that damn bezel a million times lol

If I can't figure it out by the end of the day, I will go back to my original plan and burn this POS down to the ground! :D

I did some trouble shooting as to why the Tahoe was possessed and finally figured out why all my parking lights would come on every time I pressed the brakes along with the blinkers turning on at the same time.

After testing almost every single wire in the front and rear headlights, tail lights and parking lights to see if there was a back feed somewhere with a meter, I realized everything seemed normal...I re-spliced every wire I came across and put them all in a wire loom. Long story short, I replaced the turn signal stalk with the one in the Escalade and everything went back to normal! :)

I also swapped out the yellow halogen bulbs in the Escalade cluster to blue LED to match the rest of the interior lighting

LOL...those black spots ruined lots of pictures

I was actually looking into getting a black headliner but that can wait...I'm going to concentrate on swapping engines and probably replacing everything underneath suspension wise first
