2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: headlights failing or too dim

Filed Jan 1, 2024 · Electrical, Wheels · AL · crash · fire · 3 injuries

The Keyless Entry Receiver(GM) Radio Module in my 2007 Chevy Silverado is retaining moisture. It caused my Tire Pressure Monitoring System to fail eventually causing a blow out on the highway. I believe moisture from the third headlight above rear window is allowing moisture to drip into the Keyless Entry Receiver. There are many accounts of this failing, I’m not sure why this has not been recalled. I nearly died.

While driving at any speed would roll down window and head lights would dim. Blower for heater and defroster would cut in and out. There was a distinct odor when using defroster and then it quit all together. This was during winter which made the truck un-drivable until repaired. 10-14 day after the blower motor was replaced the oil sending unit stopped working and all warning lights were lite up. The dealer ship stated that it was a know issue with the wiring harness and needed to be replaced which was not cheap. They did say even though it is a know issue that we were responsible for the cost of repair.

This is a recurring problem- my vehicle (purchased brand new by me) while cruising on the highway will start to try and cut off while driving. The door locks will pop up and down, the dash gauges power on and off, the headlamps flash on and off, etc... Last week the vehicle completely shut down while doing this and I had to coast to the side of the road. This happened three times in 48 hours.
