@915_Tahoe can give you the PN for it. You can also go to gmpartsdirect and put in your VIN.

Pics of the truck, please.

Go to GMPartsDirect.com, enter your VIN, and go to the Body section. You should find the correct part number there, and you will save significantly versus going to your local dealer.

Many thanks my friend, your truck looks great ! I was able to find the correct part# on gmpartsdirect.com, thanks to you guys. I dropped the part # in search on amazon, same $$ will be here tomorrow. Now I just have to figure out the drivers side heated and cooling seats not working, the lights come on but not breeze cool, or warm butt

Do a Google search and see if anything pops up in reference to the antenna.

Pulled the headliner down today to install the new "Shark fin" satellite antenna. I could`nt help but notice there was NO drain tube to the moonroof on driver front corner. Searched under carpet, found the end of hose that goes through floor to drain, but the tube from the roof down the cowl to the floor tube was missing ! The inside of the pillar cover was full of black mold, and by how soaked the insulation under carpet is, this has been like this for a very long time. Ran my own 1" drain tube and out the bottom where the factory 1 is. Currently running dehumidifer in the truck to help dry out the floor.

Now if I can only figure out why the power seats stopped working and the cooled seats and heated seats turn on but nothing happens ????? thank you in advance

Did you look at the fuse for the seats. The owners manual should have the location. I think they are located under the hood, left dash panel and right dash panel.

My friend, all the lights on the controls come on, but no heat and no cooled seats, so if controls are lit up I would assume power is on >????

 

[Big Mama]

Did you check the memory control module under the seat or the ground on the B pillar?

 

[Tahoe14]

I thought the first part of the issue was power seats had stopped working so that’s why I mentioned the fuse. Heating and cooling not sure and maybe what Big Mama suggested.

Well, we all know what assuming does.

Look under the passenger side seat at the connector going to the module. The ground usually burns up and distorts the connector. If this happens, you have to fix the connector and put a new pin on the end of the affected wires.

GM stopped the a/c seats in 2010. After that the seats use the traditional resistance heated mats and only a fan to circulate cabin air through the seat.

I haven’t seen a take apart of a 2011+ fan cooled seat yet and not sure if they have a control module like the 07-10 seats.

In regards to the antenna and black mold, if you got it from a dealer take it back and have them plumb up that missing line on their dime.

Installed the new Sharkfin Antenna when we dropped the headliner, while it was down we ran 1" hose from home depot from the connector on corner of moon roof to the floor pan where it relieves itself. As far as the air conditioned seats, they dont work, the lisghting comes on, on the controls but nothing happens, going to check control module.

Still trying to think up a proper google review for this dealership that sold me this truck with so many issues......How do you all think I should handle this ?

 

[Big Mama]

As with any review be honest. If it’s a dealer they should have checked everything over. I bought a truck from a large dealership and was extremely disappointed they didn’t at least check for known problems. Mine had a bad A.C. condenser, 4wd actuator, bad alternator, and more. If the dealer is willing to pay for repairs your review should reflect that.

Are you thinking a trip back to the trucks seller is a no go?
