    Headlight Wiring Help

    Asked already about this under a different thread so forgive me, but I'm at wit's end. This morning I pulled the headlight assemblies and the grill so I could get to the wiring harness - sort of. The passenger side headlight won't light - high beam, side marker, drl,parking light/turn signal all...

    Passenger Side Lo Beam Won't Light

    I've replaced both bulbs (with cool blue bulbs), checked the underhood fuses and looked at the wiring harness. I checked the wiring with a volt meter and it is dead, but the high beam, turn signal, DRL, Horn and side marker lamps all work. Where should I look next? Could the wires failed...

    Thoughts on why I love my Yukon

    I live in Northern VA - an area filled with Prius's and every other hybrid known. Bikes are everywhere. The DC Metro Rail system is getting more and more crowded all the time. This area is a testament to the pain folks feel as they get about – be it from the price of gas or the hassle of...

    Horn

    Got mad at a dumb driver and leaned on the horn too long, I guess. :cuss: Now the higher of the 2 tones doesn't work. I guess I need to replace it - is this a big deal? I haven't searched for it - obviously I know the general location, but can anyone give any tips that'll make this easier...

    Painted the Dash Bezel today

    Had lots of advice on the forum (thanks JK and others). Found a place in Arkansas (R & E Paint Supply) and ordered the plastic adhesion promoter and an exact match for my dash (medium pewter) - both SEM products. Used fine grit sanding paper and feathered the edges where the paint had rubbed...

    Is it worth it?

    Took my Yuk to Midas today - reputable location in Northern Virginia. The guys had the courtesy to call me and tell me that many of the 100k service items I took it in for weren't necessary, but here's what they did want to do: Flush brake lines Flush tranny and add synthetic fluid - they...

    Dash painting

    Sorry all - I had this in Technical Discussions and no one has responded - maybe someone will catch it here.... I searched for a thread - bound to be one - sorry if this is already addressed somewhere. My trim bezel - the large snap on piece that wraps around all the instruments - has the...

    Paint the Dash Trim Bezel

    I searched for a thread - bound to be one - sorry if this is already addressed somewhere. My trim bezel - the large snap on piece that wraps around all the instruments - has the color wearing off. Comes from resting my hand on it while adjusting my windshield mounted GPS, I'm sure. I've cured...

    Another Reason Why I Love My Yukon

    Recently moved into a new (to me) home in Northern Virginia. Had lotsa stuff I needed to move to another location - rented a 6x12 foot trailer and loaded it with tools, furniture, etc., to haul to my father in law's house. The Yukon pulled it with ease - and just as important, stopped it...

    Paintless Dent Removal.

    I did it - pulled out too fast, cut too sharply and 'drug' the passenger side of my Yukon against the front bumper of my son's little Toyota truck. His truck is fine - the Yukon has two softball sized smooth indentations below the trim. I think it is a paintless dent removal kinda ding. I...

    Magnaflow Muffler

    Mellow, deep rumble from a simple muffler replacement. I had this muffler installed in place of the original and used the original 1 pipe in 2 pipe out configuration - this muffler was made to fit. Very cost effective way to improve the sound, power and fuel economy. No 'drone' at 75 mph -...

    A really dumb question

    Okay, I know it's a dumb question. Which front light is considered left and which right? From the driver's seat or facing the vehicle? I have to replace the driver's side fog lamp and they ask to specify left or right. Good grief, I feel dumb. Anybody?

    Fog Light Lens

    I have a lens out on one of my fog lights. I was hopeful that, before I spend the funds to replace just the lens, someone could recommend a better, easy to install replacement for the stock fog lights. Any suggestions?

    Brake work cost

    Not gonna say which service place, but I have my Yukon in for some brake work and I just want to get opinions regarding the price. Sounds pricey to me but I don't make my living doing this and I sure don't want to take any chances with brakes. I knew my rear pads were thin, but I didn't...

    Catback for Yukon

    I want to install a new exhaust system on my '02 Yukon without breaking the bank or getting too 'loud.' Some years ago I installed a Borla catback on a '98 Suburban - it improved power and fuel economy but it resonated in the driver's seat to an annoying degree - plus it was around $700 then...

    Hypertech Tuning / Traction Control

    Just recently acquired a 2002 Yukon SLT - almost perfect condition - family needed a 'third' vehicle and this fit the bill. Of course, the first things I had to do were install a K & N Air Filter and Hypertech tuning. Installed the 'tuning', adjusted for the 285/75/16 tires and increased the...
