Any thoughts? Or does anyone have their panels off and can take a moment to post pictures of their latch assembly. The hatch locks when it is closed and opens freely using the key and hatch cable. Everything moves freely on mine, and like I said I can move the switch manually with ease. I had a spare from the wreckers but it is completely seized. Unless it is controlled through the internal mechanism when the lock is engaged? I don't know because I can't find any pictures of a fully functioning one. There does not seem to be anything present to move the switch. It seems there must be something missing from the latch assembly. The security light also goes out and the car can be armed.

The green connector and wire splice must be stock as when I move the arm switch on the latch I can hear the solenoid click on the drivers side and the hatch light goes out.
To do this, use a plastic or wooden wedge to click the tailgate lock latch closed. The easiest way is to manually lock the tailgate latch after the tailgate is open. There are 2 (two) ways to turn off these lights. Going to try a different dealer soon.I did a little more playing around after work and discovered that the latch seems to be the problem. There is a way to hack & bypass the approach & puddle lights when the back tailgate is open.

( Like I couldn't of done that.) NOT what I asked for or what the manual indicates.

connector off, because at least on an 03 Yukon, the power rear windows wont work. The tech just reset the drivers menu for interior lights to 10 seconds. If the problem is the rear door hatch light comes on when it is shut.
Update: I asked my dealer to do this retiming effort when the car was in there last week. ( It hasn't been in my months of leaving the hatch open daily.) I do think it is a PITA when you want the car to go dark quickly as when visiting campgrounds, drive in movies. That said, I don't think a handful of LED lights staying on for 20 min is a worry for battery drain. I'm thinking I'm going to have that time reprogramed to default at just a few min. Right now, if you leave your tailgate open (without fooling the latch), all interior lights set to key on the door as well as the mirror approach lights will remain on for 20 min. If I'm reading this right, page 298 of the owners manual says the dealer has the ability to reprogram the timer setting for the interior light circuit ( of which the mirrors are tied to). There is a way to hack & bypass the approach & puddle lights when the back tailgate is open. Replace the # 26 red 10amp fuse, & all goes back to normal.īoth will eliminate battery drain, anoying lites wile camping for you and others around you. Remove the fuse, the mirror LED lamps will be off. The # 26 fuse is red 10 amp & is identified as “Back Up” on the fuse panel door. Looking at the fuse panel, from the lower left side, move over 2 & up 3.
Behind the fuse door in front of your left knee position inside the car. Now to reverse this process either using the key fob, or the button on the dash to close the tailgate, press it several times until the tailgate is fully latched closed.Ģ. The car now thinks the tailgate is closed & the mirror LED lamps will go off as they would as if the tailgate is closed. You can also use a flat blade screwdriver, but it may scratch the metal.
