    Headlight Wiring Help

    Got it. Wire was broken on the opposite side after the junction - the loom leads to the driver's side headlight then over to the passenger. Both "eyes" are functioning now. Best thing is that, when it first happened I assumed it was a bulb and it gave me an excuse to buy a couple of those...

    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

    The bulb that was in use went out - I bought new bulbs - I know they both work (tested in the working side). Tested the blug contacts with a voltmeter but I haven't checked the wires further down the chain yet - gonna do that tomorrow. They are pretty strict here in lovely DC Burbs/northern...

    Passenger Side Lo Beam Won't Light

    Thanks. I'll give that a shot - I tried pushing them into the plug firmly....but I'll give it another try. I might strip a small section of wire on each side an inch back and test it there - that'll tell me if it is the plug. Thanks for the tip. Funny that everything was fine then with no...

    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...

    how many miles on your hoe

    Been waitin' on this day for a long time - yesterday the Yukon rolled over 100,000. 100,003 when I got home from work. I'm the third owner - bought it July 2007 with 87k on it. If it weren't for 2 really long trips I'd probably still be at around 97k...I don't do a lot of miles. Under my care...

    Why did you buy your SUV?

    Always wanted one. Had a 1998 Suburban and got rid of it - regretted it then and still do now. Thought the previous body style (like I have) is one of the best looking trucks on the road still.....and I love to drive the darn thing! I still smile every time I fire up that V8 and listen to it...

    Thoughts on why I love my Yukon

    Whew. Stirred up a lot of emotion - that's a good thing. Let's hold on to that emotion and use it come this November and VOTE! No matter who you are for, VOTE! I'm not thrilled with either candidate, but I'll vote McCain 'cause he's closer to right than Obama by any stretch. We need FREEDOM...

    Thoughts on why I love my Yukon

    Scoobey is right - it is never simple. Scoobey - thanks for the great response. It takes all of us to make the "world go 'round." I am decidedly conservative and somewhat dubious of our ability to create so much impact through emissions when the planet has been 'emitting' for thousands of...

    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...

    Wow.

    You should live in Northern Virginia where I live - right outside DC. You can't throw a rock without hitting a Prius.....or a Camry Hybrid.....or an Escape Hybrid.....or a Civic Hybrid. Originally they opened the HOV lanes to the hybrids - it worked so well that now they are planning to close...

    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...

    cheap dash???

    If you go to this link: http://www.repaintsupply.com/cat-classic-coat1.cfm you can see the paints. I tried to match it visually, but emailed the contact info there with my VIN and told them what I was looking for. Ron from this company promptly called me and told me that my choice was an...

    Engine sounds as if starving for air?

    Mine does the same thing as Hit and Run - especially with stop and go driving. After I get a bit of speed up it goes away. Arizona - hot -

    Painted the Dash Bezel today

    Wish I had taken before - I'll add after pics to this post later but the cool thing is that it just looks 'normal'.....I think the real pleasure was finding out that the interior color could be exactly matched with the SEM paint - and thanks to JK for the tip!

    Just got an '02 Tahoe

    Congratulations! I am coming up on one year of owning my 2002 Yukon - it, too, has been the best vehicle I have ever owned. Nothing major - just routine maintenance you'd expect for a 7 year old vehicle with 100k miles. Yours looks great - the truck looks good as new. GM got it right when...

    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...

    Dash painting

    Bumper Adhesion Promoter JK - found the exact match (SEM) for the interior finish from repaintsupply.com - also ordered what I thought was the right adhesion promoter. It is a bumper flexible sealer - and it IS an adhesion promoter. Did the prep and painting this afternoon and it turned out...
