Whats the story on your Tahoe

**Ironhorse** · 03-19-2008, 05:48 AM

Story is still unfolding. Took it to the Chevy house Friday, they had it all day, said they found a "chafed" wire in the steering column. Repaired it and ran a scan, "everything read good". Took it on a day trip to visit my youngest son in Manhattan, Ks at Ks. State University and got about 20 miles out of town when the "security" light came on. Stayed on for the 160 mile trip. Back to the shop this morning, had it all day, idling, light never came on. Wife brought it home after work and plan is tomorrow after I get home from work is to take it out of town for a spin and see if the light comes on again. If it does I'm headed straight to the Chevy house. This is getting old, real quick.

kaycee, Sorry I have not been keeping up with this but the very afternoon I made my last reply our house was broken into and it has been a real nightmare. Stolen items included our home computer tower, digital camera, spare keys for the '99 Tahoe, checks and check book, coin collection, jewelry and on and on. Got the computer tower, digital camera and pair of binnoculars back about a week afterwards. By that time we had purchased a new tower and changed our internet service. LOTS of forged checks have been passed (about $4,500 so far) but luckily we alerted our banking facility right away and we are not liable, just an unbelievable hassle.

Since the keys for the Tahoe were stolen and never recovered we had the Tahoe igintion rekeyed with a new igintion tumbler, switch and harness assembly and the door lock tumblers rekeyed. Not a cheap process but the alternative was not very promising with a stolen Tahoe.

Since the ignition rekey and replacing the switch and harness assembly the security light issue has not returned. The ignition harness and switch assemby we replaced is PN # 26075995. Cost for the harness was $190.19
list. Not cheap but we had no alternative. Not sure if that helps your case or not but so far our security light issue has not returned since.
