Hi, I'm Mike Green. I am one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I am going to use my 20+ years' experience, restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this, to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts, installed correctly - that's going to save you time and money. Thank you and enjoy the video.
In this video, I am going to show you how to replace tail light harness junction on this 2002 GMC Sierra. The only tools you'll need are a 13mm wrench, screwdrivers, and some penetrating oil. This is the same for a lot of different GM trucks.
Okay, if you are having some problems with your rear lights. The another place that can go bad is this junction block. This is the back frame, you can see here is my spare tire. Okay and there's four connectors and basically, each connector has a little tab and you can see that one right there. Push on the tab and then work the connector off and do that for each of them. Right here, where my finger is pointing, there is a 13mm bolt. You want to remove that bolt and then the plate comes off with that connector. Just a quick tip; we did spray the back of this bolt with penetrating oil. It actually appears to come out pretty easily. There it is out. Now to get this out of the bracket, we are going to take one screwdriver and put it in here - actually in right next to that slot, so that slot is now unlocked. That tab right there that is part of the plastic. Okay, the metal is not holding anymore. And then use another screwdriver and kind of pry it into there. Once you move it a little bit, you can take this screwdriver out and then with this screwdriver, just force it out of the bracket.
And the new one from 1A Auto, you can see that it is exactly the same. They are all - labeled: brown, grey, blue, and the black. Okay and also these tabs make it so you can't connect them incorrectly anyway. So you just place it back into this, okay. Clip it back in place and you are ready to reinstall. You are going to hook your, you have to hook these tabs in first, which means you have to put them in like that and then turn it. Then start your bolt. And I am going to cheat a little bit and bring in the air ratchet, the blue one is up here and it goes on the left, the black one, the gray one goes on top, okay brown or red on the right side and the black one on the bottom.
We hope this helps you out. Brought to you by www.1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the internet. Please feel free to call us toll free 888-844-3393. We are the company that serves you on the internet and in person.

Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the taillight junction block on this 2002 Chevy Suburban. It's the same part and similar process on the Suburbans from 2002 to 2006. You'll need a new taillight junction block from 1AAuto.com, a flat blade screwdriver, and a hammer.
Your taillight junction block is located right here. You want to start off by just pushing the tabs on each of these harnesses and disconnecting them. Most likely, your junction block won't just slide out now on its own, so what we do is we just use a flat blade screwdriver and a hammer to kind of loosen up these tabs. There are four of them in total. We'll just fast-forward as Don does that last tab, and then from the side of the junction block, you want to just use that flat blade screwdriver, hit it with the hammer, and it'll start to slide out. Once you get it most of the way you can pull it the rest of the way out.
On the left is the old junction block; on the right is the new one from 1A Auto. You can see they're identical, and they'll fit exactly the same. Take your new junction block and just slide it into the bracket. Then reconnect your four harnesses. You'll see on the junction block which color goes where. Now, since we've loosened this, it will slide out. Just to make sure it doesn't, we just want to hammer the edge there until it kind of bends down over the junction block. Now it's held in place, and you're all set.

I've had issues with truck electrics on my 04 Silverado and use it to haul a 3 horse Sundowner gooseneck trailer. This part came to my attention via an email from 1A Auto. The information in the email seemed to describe some of the issues I was having with my truck. And of course, there was a YouTube video from 1A Auto that showed how simple this repair is to perform. Ordered the part, usual speedy delivery, problem solved!
Great Price. Gsst Shipping

Replaced the factory junction block flawlessly. Only issues I ran into had nothing to do with this part. My driver side tail light/brake like stopped working and new bulbs didn't fix it. Best price on the internet for this piece and it's actually quite a simple job thanks to their tutorial videos.

The part was spot on. The easier way to change is just slightly flex the metal compression tabs and remove one screw. It slides out nicely and lets you clean the frame behind it. Reverse the process to reinstall, put the plugs in their respective spots and your done. Works great.

I had a 2011 Chevy Silverado 3500HD that had issues with the tail lights. When the running lights were on all tail lamp lights were illuminated but dim. When I activated my brakes, the left tail lamps would all go out and the right would illuminate all 3 lights including the reverse light. I cleaned the connections and it worked for a little while then the same problem happened. I replaced this part and now everything works perfect! Easy to install and 1AAuto's installation video was spot on. Much better than others on the internet. Thanks!
Good product. Exactly what I needed.

Quality a tad shy of OE. Fit, which it should as a "given"! Functioned as it should. Now the test of time needs to pass. The original was still functional and was replaced due to minor cracks that would lead to random issues.

Would this have anything to do with my rear parking sensors? They dont work and Ive tried everything except this? ThanksApril 7, 2021

This is the junction block for the lights, so they would not have anything to do with rear parking sensors.

Can I hook up trailer lights w a plug to this box?August 16, 2021
Terry H
10
Yes, the box has all the connections for the rear light connections, including the trailer wiring harness. My truck already had a trailer hitch and electrical connection for the trailer installed at the factory, so it was a simple matter of just plugging in the existing trailer wiring harness into the new junction box.

Will this junction box fix issues with the third brake light not working?January 9, 2022
John D
10
More than likely they have an led style third brake light and the whole light assembly must be replaced its a very common issue with them going out however if they unplug the wire connectors from the junction box and its severely corroded I would start there a junction box is by far cheeper than the led third brake light assembly

This junction box is for the tail lights only, not the 3rd brake light.

No it will not. This junction box is mounted in the rear of the truck, above the axel and has nothing to do with the third brake light. Good luck.
