01 suburban tail lights/cruise control

[kbuskill]

It’s an 00-06 , should be all the info needed. With any led tails the cruise won’t work. So slap in some resistors and all is good in the world. That’s from what I’ve seen for the past 5 years

Well, technically, he never said he had LED tails... I mean I guess I could assume that, but you know what assuming does.

I am betting his 3rd brake light may not be functional but I could be wrong.

I still don't understand why the running lights would have any effect on the brake circuit.

In reality there is no reason for them to be connected.

Has anyone tried these pre wired sockets & resistors?

Yea I guess I did assume he had led tails lol . I don’t know except to sit and wait for a response lol

Only need one resistor per socket. Super easy to make/wire yourself

Sorry for the delays. I’m still working about 70+ hours a week. Factor in trying to see kids and other assorted chores I barely get 5 hours of sleep as is.

For whatever reason I haven’t swapped the third light out on mine yet. I guess it just never registered to me to make it match. Probably why my cruise control works until my headlights come on. I will look at the wiring diagram when I get off work later.

I ordered resistors the other day. I would expect them to get hot. If I remember correctly there is some room to mount them to the body back behind tail light. If not I will mount it under The body and just tap in at the wiring harness. There will be more than enough airflow then to keep them cool and nothing to melt as well.

Yep, had those exact same tails and no cruise when lights are on.
Bugs me I can’t find pics of my resistors mounted
Here’s on the wife’s car. Used same method on Tahoe

Also you don’t have to block your plate buddy
