This gal can't thank you enough for this video. Worked on my 2005 Chevy Colorado. I screamed at the top of my lungs so all the neighbors could hear "I did it, I fixed it" Thank you again sooo much
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEE YOU!!!! I’ve been reading forums for going on 6 years now and NO one could help me figure out the these issues so thank you so much dude
Right on. What I found on my '09 is that the little black box that you showed on the passenger fender is actually a grounding connection for about 4 or 5 circuits. My constant problems with that resistor and harness burning up went away when I cut off the wires and put separate loop wire ends on each wire and then bolted them to the same spot on the fender. If you can split that little box apart and you can see why it would fail.
Hi - oh my great video! I’m also having issues with my 2006 Canyon. Recently put her back on the road (I’m not a mechanic but eager to learn). Everything was going great until suddenly my cluster gauges started with ADHD, work/not work etc. check engine light still lit up (always has been) and anti theft light but nothing else. Pulled it all out - checks out fine. A week later my cig lighters quit working. Next when I was replacing a rear speaker - no luck. Tried 3 different speakers in that same spot - nothing- but 2 of the other speakers work in the truck. Yesterday I’m driving on the freeway and drivers start yelling at me telling me I have NO BRAKELIGHTS!!! So now this is the 4th electrical issue in 3 weeks that I still can’t figure out. I’ve checked every single ground I can find and cleaned and reconnected them. I’ve replaced fuses and bulbs. I went on a wild goose chase for some G300 under drivers seat under carpet- took both seats and carpet out and did those grounds too. I’m at a total loss for what’s going on here. My battery is new, I’m gonna try replacing the Mega Fuse because that one does have some corrosion (only fuse i didn’t do). I’ve put so much work into this truck and have very little money- without brake lights and cluster she’s basically a decoration in my driveway. PLEASE HELP
I've got the same problem with my heater fan as you're describing but my Canyon is a 2004 , sure hope I can resolve the problem the way you did .. Thank you very very much for taking the time to post your video!!!!
Go to Amazon to get the blower motor resister kit it's only 12 dollars I replaced mine in the summer and it's starting to act up again so I'll buy 2 this time👍
The best and cheapest (almost free) way of fixing that is to get rid of the socket and solder the wires straight to the terminals on the resistor. Most likely the resistor is still good. Thats what I did and I haven’t had anymore problems.
Thanks! Gonna look into all this tomorrow. I know my blower connector is burned in the #3 position so I need the harness for that. But I'll take a close look at all those other connections, too.
I have all of those issues with my 2007 chevy Colorado as well. I replaced the lower resister and it worked solid for a week and then went out again. I am also having a problem with it overheating in idle. I replace the fan clutch, water pump, coolant sensor and cleaned out the throttle body myself. I still having a problem though in overheating in idol. I can't find a related issue online though. I replace all of the relays and fuses as well. I also cleaned the ground by the mass airflow area you were talking about, but I didn't do the other side and I will check where fuse box is. I will see if that helps any.
I redid my resistor for my blower motor and it looked like it about caught on fire. After dealing with all the other electrical issues and valve/head issues, I wish it would have burnt to the ground
My 2006 only has 85k miles on it, as and I've had nothing but trouble. I had to replace the Throttle Body at 35k miles, new water pump at 58k. The blower fan only worked on #4 and I replaced the wiring harness for that. Now I just replaced the Cam position actuator because it would not idle.
I understand. Mine would.not shift into 4wd. And the light on the dash would flicker on the indicator buttons as well. I replaced every electrical component that thing had and still nothing. I finally traded mine for a Toyota tundra.
My 09 Canyon had a burnt fan control resistor. I replaced it, and it burned again. After some research I replaced it with the harness and resistor block from a Tacoma, a completely unrelated truck right? Apparently not because it works great now.
I have 06 canyon just started having issues fan dontvwork unless on 4 , day time running lite out but bulb good and my right blinker lights up when press brake. I'll go through check list tom.
Can you give me advice on my problem? I lose electrical power while driving and about a half mile it’ll automatically come back on? I don’t lose engine power just electrical. This has happened twice including today. Thanks
I have weird problem with my 06 canyon. Battery is good have had it tested multiple times. When I go to start it sometimes starts up no problem. And sometimes I have electric power dashboard lights etc but then when I go to crank it lose all power no start no crank no dash lights or outside lights no electric power whatsoever have cleaned all grounds and battery terminals. Any help? Thinking ignition switch
Thank you for this video. Can you please help me figure out what's going on with my truck? The blinkers AND hazard lights no longer work. Fuses are fine but I'm unsure of where to fo from there.
Chase sorry to not see your post (1 year later). If you haven't got it solved by now. I would check the blinker connectors and they can unplug from the harness and check them for continuity. I had mine go bad and had to replace them as i was having a similar issue. Also those Grounding blocks can be a pain in the butt as well causing all kinds of issues. Also even though it may sound silly. Check to make sure your bulbs work and are not blown
I have the same exact problem on my 2005 Canyon, my fan stopped working , only 1 and 4 on the settings would work, well I fixed that and then one day all the blinkers and hazards stopped working. It’s definitely not the bulbs, it’s certainly an electronic issue because I’ve seen atleast ten guys mention this online, I’m going to the junkyard today to pick some parts up but I’m not even sure what to replace yet? Any ideas sir? Thank you for your time and video.
If you suffer from multiple electrical issues. More than likely a great deal.of them are due to those two grounding blocks on the fenders. I know of a few guys that own these trucks that bought aftermarket terminal blocks and put ring terminals on all of the wires going to these blocks to fix their issues. It really is a crappy design IMO
Timothy I honestly do not know. I hope if anything Chevy has improved its electrical design as your truck is 13 years newer than mine. Perhaps you can share with us any issues you may experience with yours? I hope you have none . but If you do please share.
The plug is located on the right passenger side under the glove box. You would do well to replace the resistor as well when you replace the plug as I'm sure you will see burn marks
Yup all these trucks are Lemons 🍋! Seriously as I’m reading through the comments I can relate to just about everyone of you, I have an 05 4wd 4door straight five and yes it looses all lights once in a while, the blower fan stops and frys out atleast once a winter, the master fuse went,it overheated for awhile until I put a new radiator in it, and now the latest issue is that all the blinkers and hazard lights stopped blinking,lighting and there’s no clicking or sound! I’m pretty mechanically inclined and have fixed every single issue except these damn blinkers! I’m sure it’s something pretty easy like a dirty ground or rusty connection or something but someone out there has had this problem and got it fixed? Any help would be appreciated before I stuff a roll of paper towels down the gas tank and light a zippo and run!!!!
Yep I hear you, lack of dependability. And the electrical is very problematic. Why i go rid of mine. and got a first gen Toyota Tundra . To answer your question I will say this first clean the grounds. Second : The front turn signals have a harness that goes bad here is the part number. Genuine GM 19121867. What I would suggest is one ensure your lights parking and turn light up . Then I would swap the left turn signal harness with the right ( leaving the other harness unplugged) and see if it works If the left doesnt work plugged into the right side, then take the right side harness and plug it into the left side . That will possibly eliminate the idea that the harness for the turn signals are bad. And the problem lies elsewhere. I would also suggest that you go to 355nation.com and see what the members there have to say about the problem if my suggestion doesnt reveal the problem. Good Luck

check intake filter, throttle body, and MAF sensor as they may need cleaning . after that check all vacuum lines and ensure they are all connected with no breaks or cracks. If nothing pops up here, the next issue you may need to address is possible overheating.
Reading your comments sound like Colorado's and Canyons all have similar issues my 2005 colorado randomly won't start have powere everywhere else but the radio and starting anyone have suggestions battery and alternator have all tested fine.
This is a late reply but I know exactly what the issue is. It’s the fuel pump. Tap on the gas tank with a 2x4 or baseball bat as you start it. Worked like a charm for me
the 3057 and 3157 are the same plug in bulb with 4 little wire prongs however they are staggered if you noticed so they will plug into the connector either way flipped over it will still slide into the connector , my question is will you still have the parking filament lite up and the larger brake filament when you step on the brakes no matter which way its plugged in ?
Great question. I do not know. I do know that some guys have replaced their 3057 sockets with 3157 ones (But they have to trim the plastic tabs to get them to fit) Perhaps you can let us know what you find out?
It could be possible an issue with the headlight switch, loose connection turn signal switch, grounding issue. I would go check out and join the 355nation website it's a Colorado/Canyon enthusiast website. the people on their have years of experience working on these trucks. They may be someone who has had that issue like yours for sure.
I had the same issue with my 05 Colorado believe it or not I had a drive wise from my insurance company plugged into my OSB port and as soon as I unplugged that all my issues went away.
I have a gmc canyon 2012 & my ignition won’t switch on after I grounded my ignition wire trying to put a radio in but my fuses are all ok & im now stumped can anybody help??
Can anyone help me with this issue I have a 2007 Chevy Colorado lt the back light for gauges not on so at night I can’t see gauges but all the gauges works properly but I noticed that the dimmer switch doesn’t seem to work like it don’t do anything but turn on dome like it’s not turning up the lights to bright or dim it doesn’t seem todo anything it feels very loose any ideas on what I could be
Joseph Payne ok thanks so the whole dimmer switch etc is there a place where I could order dealer doesn’t have in stock I thought that might be because the dimmer knob feel loose no click to it and it only seem to turn on some light at nothing else would turn up or down
@@sptguy7848 I would look at rockauto.com. now there are two types of those switches one with fog lights and one without so make sure you order the right one for your vehicle
Stop in at a dealership and see if there is a recall for that issue my 08 Canyon had the same problem and it was a recall fix the dealership took care of it at no cost
Could be one of a few things. check the connection on the 4wd actuator make sure its good . Also check the transfer module under the drivers seat as that can cause that symptom as well especially if you have in the past gotten the interior wet. I would also go to a colorado forum like 355nation or others as there is a great resource from other owners that have had the same issues as you.
It's still flashing right? Have you checked the flasher relay? It's in the main fuse box under the hood. That is what typically makes the noise when the turn signals are on
Speaker is not working. Most newer vehicles use the BCM to control the blinkers and the radio is the sound/click output. It usually is only through 1 Speaker on the drivers side but could be the door Speaker/tweeter or the speaker in the dash/A Pillar. Run the audio control to the front and switch side to side and see if all speakers are working properly.
Check your ground wires, if it's possible cut them off from the little box ,and put a ring and stick in the chassi,I solve many problems doing that, I only have one problem ,the passlock ,i hate it !
have a 2004/5 canyon it has hugh mileage yesterday started vehicle lights come on automatically as usual however as I started brushing off the snow I noticed lights were both out. only way to get lights was to takeoff the auto and put lights on manually and put on high beam however later in day noticed the lights were back working later as normal on the auto setting this morning I got the same problems
Sometimes those switches have been known to go bad. also there is a sensor i think located on the right side of the dash that is the light sensor for the auto setting as well, I have never had one go out, but it is part of the circuit . Something to check out /
Christopher I feel your pain. I had soo many issues even the dealership couldn't help me figure out what was going on. In August I traded mine in for a Toyota Tundra .
@@josephpayne9655 It doesn't even make any sense!!! The PCM is in charge of the MAF and the BCM "I believe" controls the cluster. I paid $5,500.00 for this thing and put almost another 1k into it!!! Ripped off the plates and threw them across the driveway! My 94 Sonoma has a busted shackle in the rear and a sagging door and has 95k more miles on it. No CEL, no gas gauge issues, nothing. Complete opposite and only paid 200.00 for it! Done with GM. Rant over lol
@@camaro2002rs from what I have read in the forums the BCM is very problematic as is the grounds. I'm still an old chevy guy pre computer of course , but I'll never buy a new one as long as this crap goes on
Well after the bcm and the odometer not working, I now have experienced the blower resistor issue with this truck along with 2 out of 3 buttons for the 4wd not being back lit. The Orange indicator comes on for what ever position it is in but the back light only works on 4 hi. 4 lo came on once and never did it again. Hope this thing burns up
Reggie I have heard from guys on 355Nation (it's a Colorado/Canyon enthusiast site) that there are some problems with the trailer harnesses on these vehicles , along with all the other electrical issues. . I would. Do the obvious stuff first check for electrical continuity/ and voltage to the trailer plug which could also be corroded. If you go to the website and join they have a lot of tips and tricks out there as they all have at some point experienced and issue with the trucks
Bret I am sorry to hear that. I finally gave up and traded mine in for a 2004 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x4 . Really didn't want to as my truck was paid off but when the dealer says "they don't know whats wrong?" I was kind of at a loss

Just replaced the MAF on my 07 Colorado 4wd and now the odometer doesn't work. The gas gauge quit 2 weeks prior to that. Pile of garbage
Christopher I feel your pain. I had soo many issues even the dealership couldn't help me figure out what was going on. In August I traded mine in for a Toyota Tundra .
@@josephpayne9655 It doesn't even make any sense!!! The PCM is in charge of the MAF and the BCM "I believe" controls the cluster. I paid $5,500.00 for this thing and put almost another 1k into it!!! Ripped off the plates and threw them across the driveway! My 94 Sonoma has a busted shackle in the rear and a sagging door and has 95k more miles on it. No CEL, no gas gauge issues, nothing. Complete opposite and only paid 200.00 for it! Done with GM. Rant over lol
@@camaro2002rs from what I have read in the forums the BCM is very problematic as is the grounds. I'm still an old chevy guy pre computer of course , but I'll never buy a new one as long as this crap goes on
Well after the bcm and the odometer not working, I now have experienced the blower resistor issue with this truck along with 2 out of 3 buttons for the 4wd not being back lit. The Orange indicator comes on for what ever position it is in but the back light only works on 4 hi. 4 lo came on once and never did it again. Hope this thing burns up
I hook my trailer on my 07 Colorado and all my lights stop working!
Reggie I have heard from guys on 355Nation (it's a Colorado/Canyon enthusiast site) that there are some problems with the trailer harnesses on these vehicles , along with all the other electrical issues. . I would. Do the obvious stuff first check for electrical continuity/ and voltage to the trailer plug which could also be corroded. If you go to the website and join they have a lot of tips and tricks out there as they all have at some point experienced and issue with the trucks

Spray windex with ammonia on your terminals and battery. Ammonia neutralizes acid.
My damn truck has ALL these problems 🤬
Bret I am sorry to hear that. I finally gave up and traded mine in for a 2004 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x4 . Really didn't want to as my truck was paid off but when the dealer says "they don't know whats wrong?" I was kind of at a loss
