It is the driver side, vanity mirror light.
Jim
when the battery is constantly charging and discharging all the time when the hinge fail about 3 years ago. this is the reason within 3 year this is the 2nd battery.
on 2nd thought, ironically, GM sure have something to be proud of "the 2 vanity light bulb is on for about past 3 yrs and still working"
i use a metal plate and taped against the spring switch to keep it off and hope i correct the problem.
now i got another problem and hope someone can help: during trouble shooting, i remove the battery and had it tested at shop to confirm it is good. after connect it back, the radio is locked 'loc'. i guess seller give me the wrong passcode, while i am trying to unlock it, i try 2 many time and the display is changed to 'InOp'.
anyone had similar experience can help ??
thanks much
thanks anyway.
Thanks

I am flying to Texas to pick up a 2000 Z71 Tahoe w/ 24,000 miles on it - in absolutely mint condition. All extras, dark green w/ light grey leather. I thought deal was too good to be true, but had my bro check it out in person (has owned 2 Tahoes and 2 Suburbans) and he says its even better than he imagined. Carfax shows all clean, single owner - even comes with local dealer service records.
Any suggestions on things to look for during my inspection/drive? I have read the posts here and the TSB's at the NHTSA website.
'Lifeguard' and 'ssmiles' - I live in SoCal and like to go out to Mojave/Bishop/Nevada/Arizona and play in the Desert/mountains too. Lets figure out a way to get together for a trip. I have a '90 FJ62 Toyota Landcruiser now that will climb a tree!
*****NOTE TO MODERATER: This forum unlike others doesn't allow members to put their email address in their profiles if they want - so how can I get in touch with the two members above? Can you email them for me and I can give you my email through some private messaging option?
Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow so any ideas on my inspection/drive will be appreciated. I just want to get a nice dependable 4x4 that will serve me and my family well on long trips etc. Pretty excited!
Thanks
I traded up from an 02 Bravada and, other than the somewhat inconvenient 3rd seat setup, I'm very happy.
I do have a rattle in the rear of the sunroof but I'm not surprised, I had the same rattle on my Bravada and my '01 STS. Dealer repaired it on first visit. Hopefully the same will happen this time.
Love what they did for '03. I didn't get it in '01 when I got my Bravada just because it didn't have all of the "goodies" the triplets have. Now, I have my "truck" (grrrr) and all the goodies to boot.
yee haw.
Just kidding - for some reason the literal interpretation of your question made me laugh! (If anyone lives in bakersfield or central CA let me know.")
Congratulations on your new Tahoe!! How do you like the 2nd row captain's chairs?
I am purchasing a new 2003 Tahoe LT on Monday. I read a few of the messages and someone made the comment about the sunroof vs DVD. I went to an after market car accessory place and they showed me some Tahoes they put the flip down screen (10.4)w/DVD player in and it didn't interfer with the sunroof. They put the player in the dash under the cig lighter area. If this is not so please someone help I will be purchasing it on Monday and then will not take the sunroof. Have 2 kids need DVD.
Thanks.
P.S. warranty from installer for 1 year. Have had a few friends highly recommend company.
To those with questions regarding sunroof vs. DVD, if you are going to by a 2003 and want DVD, I would recommend giving up the sunroof. The factory RSE DVD is extremely good and very nicely integrated into the vehicle and the factory sound system. When played through the stereo, the movie sounds spectacular and it all works together very well - a little "DVD" light even appears on the stereo when a movie is playing. In contrast, I believe all aftermarket systems are FM modulated (i.e., you tune to an unused FM channel to hear the soundtrack) and the sound quality isn't quite as good. Also, as mentioned, not covered by 3 year/36K warranty.
Also, if you can wait for a 2004, I know that you can get BOTH - apparently they finally solved this engineering feat!
Could you tell me then how is the picture and view w/ your dvd player. Do the kids have to lean over to watch the view? Can you see it from rear 3rd row? Now I don't know what to do. HELP.
THANKS.
I went to the web site and e-mailed a rep in so cal. Do you have the leather seats? Someone said that the headrest might make some kids car sick. How old are yours? Mine are 3 and 8. I just want to make sure I am getting everything I need before I sign the dotted line. Did you lose any warranty w/ Chevy for the aftermarket installation?
Thanks
I read rach_in_wa's post, and she does bring up a few advantages of aftermarket... most importantly the ability to have multiple screens so that one kid can watch a movie and another can play a video game. This wasn't all that important to us, especially with 4 kids - I don't know of a system that can let 4 kids do their own thing independently!! Anyway, I figure they are spoiled enough as it is having a DVD player and one screen! And, I am generally not a fan of aftermarket anything - whenever possible I like factory equipment best.
If you decide to go the aftermarket headrest route, I have also seen that you can purchase replacement headrests with monitors already built in so you don't have to cut yours. I'm pretty sure I saw them at Best Buy's website.

Second: Bug Deflector.. went to the dealer for GM bug deflector - thought I was getting a genuine GM part...they installed an EGR but it's more of a hood protector.. cause bugs hit the windshield at will. Any recommendations for a good bug deflector?
I would appreciate any feed back regarding gas millage. 5.3 eng.
Thanks
On the highway, approx. 17-18mpg.
Both figures are based on a 1500 series 4x4 with the standard 3.73 rear.
Your numbers may decrease slightly with the Z71 package due to the standard 17" tires.
I have a 99' Tahoe LS with a 5.7L engine. My problem is that every so often when I try to start the engine, it will start and then die, sometimes for 30 minutes or longer, and then will start and run fine. Has anyone experienced this problem and what was the fix? Thanks
My question is : do you know how they measure the cargo cap of 132 cu ft.?? How can a Suburban, the king of cargo space, have less space than a minivan, which have anywhere between 120 to 158 cu ft. ???

I had a previa which can take 7 adults and 3 full size suitcases, plus misc smaller bags.
the suburban could take 8 adults , 5 full size suitcases and many smaller bags.
last time when the Continental Singers(a Christian music group) came, I was able to take in 5 singers , plus all their luggage, and it was alot, when you are on the road touring the US for 3 months.....! No way my Previa could have donne that.....not with the small cargo area.
You hit on an important point: how do they measure cargo space ? I was reading the salesman spec sheet for the Previa, and it said that ; with the 3rd row folded up, and the 2nd row bench removed, it would get 157.8 cuft. but that means it could now only seat 2, including driver.....so it would not be a fair comparison to a Suburban, unless theyt also measured with all 2nd and 3rd row removed.....right ??
I did come up with this article though:
http://www.epinions.com/auto-review-C99-B1D554C-3A37882E-prod1
IIRC, a couple years ago the federal government made Toyota change some of their marketing information about capacity because they were being, umh, let's just say creative.
I'll try and dig something else up, but if somebody knows more please pitch in.
by the way, if you're ever in my neck of the woods with the Stillen or the Ceyenne, I'd be available to give you my opinion on those!

I'm looking at this truck and just want to know what I'm getting into.
Thanks.
