Default Fader for dash lights does not work

Let me apologize in advance. I am not as active as I was on the Forum so I am sure I am asking for something that has been discussed. My fader switch is non functional. So what I am looking for is the service bulletin number or some reference to take to the local dealer. The nearest dealer has not been receptive because I didn't buy my car there. I am not interested in going to GM and complaining If I had a document for the problem I think that would do the trick.

Thanks in advance,
Bill

I'm not sure of any TSB, but any dealer should fix a warranty issue. As for the dealer that isn't interested in helping I'd out them so we all can stay clear.

I didn't know we had a dash fader switch in the C7.
As far as the dealer that is not receptive to your warranty needs , simply emaill Chevrolet Customer Service. You can google it.

After my last Email to them I got a call back that day. Make sure your have all the pertinent information, starting with your Vin#, Dealer name location, and names of people you dealt with.

Dealer will replace the rheostat under warranty. Should be pretty straight forward.

I know of one local 2014 that had that problem. Turned out to be the connector was not plugged into the switch. Not sure if the dash had ever been apart. Dealer was able to get to it from below without removing the dash facia.

weird. the dealer wasn't receptive because you didn't buy the car there? who cares! they're going to make money off you (through GM) servicing it!

I swear these GM dealers are another form of misery when you deal with them.

I have to ask... are the headlights on when you are trying to adjust the dash lights? If they aren't its not going to do anything.

Thanks guys. I went to the dealer this morning. They apologized for not calling me back on another issue. ( leaking little lines going to the oil pan on dry sump). They gave me an appointment a week from this Wednesday. I am not a hard butt we will let bygones be bygones. Thanks for good advice that is why I love the Forum.
