RENAMED!! The adventures of Chase and his 2006 Yukon XL Denali!! Follow along on my travels!

My passenger side turn signal has been doing this funky thing, AFTER my HID install, which is odd, where when the auto lights are engaged it stays partially illuminated. And I ensured there’s no crossing of ANY wires anywhere. I was very careful. Except it’s only the green arrow in my cluster and the red LED in my passenger mirror glass. And then when I engage the turn signal it hyper flashes like there’s a bulb out. It’s really irritating. The only two bulbs that could be bad are the two front turn signals and those are both new. My rear turns are LEDs in the tail light housing that do have laps resistors properly wired in. After bulbs I replaced the flasher relay just below the steering column hoping that would solve it. Nope. That didn’t work. A few weeks back I pulled a multifunction switch from a 2004 Denali thinking it might solve the issue of mine was going bad. I finally got around to swapping it out this evening after gym class. Original is getting pretty worn:
The replacement looks surprisingly good.
But unfortunately it didn’t solve the problem. And the switch is fully functional. Everything works as it should. Engages both turns, hazards work, cruise and wipers all work with the replacement switch. Anybody got any ideas as to why my tie single might be doing this?!?! Help!! Also I’m keeping the replacement switch cuz it looks so much better than mine.... lol

Well at least the coolant leak was an easy and cheap fix!

Thankfully yes! And I did it on my own so that’s a win too!!

Truck ran perfectly from big bear to Laughlin. No coolant issues whatsoever and my AC blew ice cold through the desert. Hottest part of the drive was 104 I think.
I’m “the backup tow vehicle” cuz god forbid my mom has to do anything for her boat by herself..... this was supposed to be a vacation and I’m already so irritated with my mom that I want to head home.....
At least when we hit I-40 she didn’t make me stay behind her all the way. She drove pretty slow cuz she’s terrified of towing her boat anywhere outside of big bear.... But apparently somehow one of the windshield pieces on the boat got shattered while she was towing it. We think it might have been a bird that took it out. The boat was spotless when we left big bear and there’s a huge red stain that kinda looks like blood on one of the fenders that sits right behind the window that’s shattered. So weird. She’s gonna try and deal with in the morning. I’m leaving early to go wakeboarding
with our friends that are also here on the trip. I know she’s gonna be mad at me for dipping out early in the morning to go have fun, but I’m an adult and this is my vacation too... and that’s why I brought my own truck.... lol

My S10 did this after a cheap LED turn signal bulb swap. I've also heard of poor grounds causing the power to backfeed.

River trip ended up being really fun. My mom mellowed out quite a bit. She did have a hiccup. We think a bird managed to hit the boat on the last stretch of her towing the boat into Laughlin as she stopp for full and the passenger side of the windshield was shattered and there a big red stain on the fender directly behind it that wasn’t there before we left. We went to a car wash and paid them to vacuum out all the glass and then we took what little glass that was left in the windshield frame out and the day exposed to drop her boat in the water anyways on Saturday morning. It worked out fine. Boat ran great the whole trip. Lots of fun playing on super fast wave runners. Got some tubing time in on one of the other boats and got the on pretty good. Lol. We all did lunch at our camp out spot on the beac together everyday. Did breakfast and lunch yesterday. All hung out together in the evenings at the hotel and played games and such. Was a good time spent with good people.

Ended up towing moms boat back from Laughlin. The other friend that line dances with us that went, sorta mysteriously left early on Sunday. And my mom decided she wanted no part of towing the boat home by herself, so she decided to come back with me, and asked if I’d tow the boat home for her with the Nali. I said “yeah if you pay for the fuel to tow it home” and she said yes. Worked out fine. Nali ran line the road tank it is pulling that little baby bayliner all the way home. Trans stayed at 180 degrees all the way across I-40 in steady 105 degree outside temps. Did well. Ended up getting home about 10pm last night. Our camp site during each day:
