Hey guys, I apologize i searched for my answer and couldn't seem to find what I was looking for.

I recently bought my '09 Tahoe from a dealer, it came with a cracked driver side tail lens, so I got a work order from the dealer to come back and replace it for free. Well just picked it up from getting replaced and none of the lights work on that side now, reverse, turn signal, brake, nuttin'. I was wondering what I should check first if its an easy fix instead of bringing it all the way back to the dealer for them to look at. Any help is much appreciated.

THX

hmmm... did they remember to put the bulbs back in the new assembly?

If they did, take the 2 screws off, pull the bulbs off, see if theyre not blown, then reseat the assembly. If that doesn't do it, grab a multimeter and check for voltage. If no voltage, then continue checking from there, fuses, relays, and such

Did they remember to CONNECT the harnesses under the truck after the install?

Woohoo! What do I win?!

(Glad it was that simple. Kind of makes you mad that it WAS that simple and someone still blew it though, huh?!)

It was to simple, I was expecting it to be something more complicated for sure. You win uh... pack of gum? I got a fresh pack of extra polar ice? haha thanks

Wow. For the sake of that dealership I was really hoping it wasn't that simple. :Boo:

Im sorry but How do you not remember to plug in a connector? Matter of fact, check and verify if it works or not. Id complain, maybe you can get a free oil change or something.
