Of course I lost one of the 6 screws holding the faceplate on probably like a lot of other RU-vid backyard mechanics but this vid got the job done THANK YOU

@buy_gone Месяц назад

I'm so glad you were able to get this done! Thanks for the message.

@atjay059 Месяц назад

Awesome detailed video. I have to replace my top switch.

@buy_gone Месяц назад

I appreciate your feedback!

Awesome video, thank you. Saved me a lot of headaches.. just so everyone know they do have a recall out on these switches. However, they dont know how to fix the problem yet.

@buy_gone 3 месяца назад

I appreciate your kinds words. I received my recall notice last week, and am curious what GM's fix will be.

@stevemw96 3 месяца назад

I thought about that as well.. Hopefully, they will figure it out soon.. 🤠

Thank you! I do have both switches on eBay as well. Here's a link to the main tailgate switch: www.ebay.com/itm/196138273090?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=VLuRpnh-Q32&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=VLuRpnh-Q32&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@trailbosschrispayne5454 10 месяцев назад

finally found a video on this. My Multi flex top tailgate button just went out. And ya i go threw alot of car washes lol. good to know. Have my switch covered under warranty but good to know info.

@CMLFactman Год назад

Jeff, Also considering a dab of silicone on the switch wire at the entery point to seal the switch from water. It is pretty clear that the source of the problem is water and the wire seal on the switch itself.

@buy_gone Год назад

I totally agree. Hopefully the part numbers help you out. Rock Auto usually has the switches in stock, and at great prices.

@MrCooper1998 27 дней назад

I'm having the same problem as you (the top switch). Can you please give me info on how I can get this part from you? Thanks

@buy_gone 27 дней назад

Hi there, I no long have any upper tailgate switches. The latest part number (that I'm aware of) for the upper/smaller tailgate switch is 85626238. If you google this, you should be able to order it from a dealership online. I hope this helps.

@matthasbrouck1607 4 месяца назад

Love the video. Helped tremendously for removal. Like a kid with a brand new toy decided to play with the multi pro tail gate forgetting I had my D ring shackle hitch in and cracked the housing plate. The truck is 3 days old…. Do you happen to know the part number for the outer plastic shroud? Everything I have found is 200 for the full assembly with everything. Any insight would be much appreciated

@buy_gone 4 месяца назад

Glad I could help. Unfortunately, I don't know the shroud part number. Your local dealer might give you the number, and you can shop it online to save some money. Don't worry, you'll have your truck back in great shape again soon.

@marksingleton2739 8 месяцев назад

We need to come up with a way of protecting the assembly so that this won't happen. It is likely the water getting in there. Perhaps smearing/spraying some kind of coating/waterproofing over the assembly and also making a way for water to drain out? Dunno, just thinking . . .

@buy_gone 8 месяцев назад

I completely agree. Even with plugging the holes in the top of the tailgate a couple years ago, I just replaced ANOTHER switch.

@Hotrodnickell 7 месяцев назад

Just got my 2024 Sierra HD in a few weeks ago. Surprisingly they still have this issue, my main tailgate is opening on its own with the doors unlocked. Have you ever had your battery go dead overnight from this switch trying to operate? If my doors are locked, the tailgate will not open but I do hear a chime coming from inside the cab

@buy_gone 7 месяцев назад

I haven't had any battery issues. Gosh, what a shame they're still having these problems.

@gonzalovillarreal4224 26 дней назад

I need to get that switch for my truck. 2022 gmc 1500 sierra top switch does not work 6:08

@buy_gone 22 дня назад

I believe the updated part number you need is 85626238. Do some searching, but I think that's correct.

@tylerotis6209 2 месяца назад

Great video. I just bought my 2022 AT4 1500 last weekend, and noticed after I left the dealership that the lower button doesn’t work. Took the time today to dig into the tailgate and see what was going on and it seems like the previous owner had cut the yellow wires right at the switch. Any chance you have an idea why they might have done this? Thanks

@buy_gone 2 месяца назад

Yes, to keep it from opening on its own. Your truck is likely a part of the recall, and should have that switch replaced with part number 85734717. I hope this helps.

@brandongrimes5751 10 месяцев назад

Hi. I have 2022 2500. My tailgate keeps opening while driving. Want to put a regular lock like my 2016. Have you ever exchanged the electronic lock and installed an old school one? Don’t care if lose camera etc. want to be secure

@buy_gone 10 месяцев назад

No, I haven't heard of anyone doing this yet. I'm not sure it'd be possible without a TON of work.

@kellystanderfer900 Год назад

Howdy! Hey i have a 2022 at4 that the tailgate is dropping every 30 seconds or so😢 do you know if the 1500 multi pro tailgate uses same switches? Thanks!!!!

@buy_gone Год назад

I don't, unfortunately.

@kellystanderfer900 Год назад

They are the same #'s... rock auto is out of stock😢 darn!!! Unplugged the switch and atleast it stopped unlatching every 30 seconds 😅

@glock9963 Год назад

What’s going on! I need the lower(main tailgate switch). Do you have any left?

@buy_gone Год назад

Yes, but punch that part number into rock auto. I think they have a bunch in stock. If not, give me a shout. Thanks.

@tylersuess8547 6 месяцев назад

What website did you order these from. The GM page I looked up said the latest vehicle it fits is a 1995

@lukehaynes481 11 месяцев назад

Can you just unplug the switch so its not dropping on its own until a switch is available

@buy_gone 11 месяцев назад

You can absolutely do this.

@robmarionneaux5165 6 месяцев назад

What’s the part number for the face plate? Do you have those in stock?

@buy_gone 6 месяцев назад

I just have the upper and lower switches on eBay. My username is tiedke.

@walnutwildcatbasketball5251 6 месяцев назад

Upper switch issue; so I get it apart click the button and it works; when I snap it back in where it goes the button won’t work from outside; any advice?

@buy_gone 6 месяцев назад

Check to see if one of the plastic clips on either end of the switch are broken. I suspect once installed, the switch is moving out of place ever so slightly, keeping you from getting decent leverage on the button when you push.

@michaelngo2674 9 месяцев назад

Where can I order a switch for main tail gate?

@buy_gone 9 месяцев назад

I'd check Rock Auto.

@Bethakosar Год назад

how would you troubleshoot the switch?

@buy_gone Год назад

In my experience, they just start going haywire; opening on their own. When that happens, I swap 'em out.

@chrisweir4488 Год назад

Where did you find the replacement switch. My upper one is going ballistic.

22 3500 Denali and I’m in 4th switch. Opened on highway and stuff falls off. Opened on friends trailer and dented tailgate. This is ridiculous. I’m out of warranty now so I’m paying for them on an 88k truck 2 years old. GMC sucks

@buy_gone 8 месяцев назад

My upper just went again last night! I have the top siliconed...going to try to shield those switches somehow.
