The contact owns a 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the trailer brake warning message displayed.

The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
THE ELECTRICAL CURRENT GOING THROUGH THE WIRING HARNESS IS INCONSISTENT. MY TRAILER BRAKES DO NOT WORK CORRECTLY.
NOT ALL OF THE GAUGE LIGHTS WORK ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SOME WORK LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO AND OTHERS DON'T WORK AT ALL. CHECKED FUSES AND EVERYTHING ELSE I COULD AND ALL IS WELL. HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE CLUSTER. I HAVE HEARD OF OTHER CHEVROLET'S HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEM. GAUGES WORK FINE ITS THE LIGHTS THAT DON'T WORK.
