2016 Tahoe LT... I noticed the other day that my safety lock button will not turn off, allowing folks in the back seats to open the doors. This issues persists after restarting. I've tried holding down the button but no luck. The window lock button still works.

Anyone seen this issue before? Any ideas on how to resolve?

Thanks

Since when did they make the rear doors safety lock from a button?, all previous models have a mechanical switch/lock on the door frame

My 16 has it as well. It was working the last time I tested. A step up in child safety locks I guess.

Tried looking through the fuse tables; no fuse I could find specifically identifies as the safety lock specific.

So the same switch unlocks both or different switches? Is there a mechanical override on the door? Reminds me of the C6 vette mess up

I would go to the dealer and ***** to high hell, seriously I could see a parent panicking as you pull up to gramma's house who lives on a busy street, kid in the back is excited to see gramma, excitedly yanks on the door handle to jump out (that was supposed to be safety locked) and the panic in eyes as the kid manages to jump out, ya no, major **** up GM.
