Alright a update today i put front rotors and pads on today and it solved my brake vibration issue. and spent 4 hours working on the lights. This are the things i have checked i checked the dome override switch button, and i checked the door jam switch on all doors but yet still no light! When i press the dome override button with the ignition on i hear a click coming from under the dash but i couldn't find the exact location, so i am only guessing that it is either a relay or the interior light control module. but i have no idea where the interior light control module is! so if there is a tech that has had this same problem can you please help. Also where can i find a wiring diagram i dont have access to alldata anymore.

Be sure you break in your new brake pads correctly.

I would assume you checked the fuses.

After 6 plus hours of looking at wiring diagrams, checking wires, checking switches, and beating my head to the wall i have figured it out. There is a white connector behind the kick panel the when i wiggled it the lights flicker on and off so i pulled the connector apart and it is filled with corrosion!! So after a trip to the dealer tomorrow for a connector with pig tail it will be fixed. So i hope this helps someone with the same problem because it is one of those phantom problems that makes you want to drive your Tahoe into the biggest and deepest mud hole and leave it there! I have read on several forums of people with the same problem of flickering dome lights or no dome lights so it is a relief to bring some knowledge to the table. One problem down and i can move down the list to the next project.

Hey guys.. New to the forum.. Just got my 2 door 'hoe.. Once I got it.. I did all the seal changes and fixed all the leaks. Also did a brake job.. And that's when my problem starts. I have tried everything but still can't get the pulsating out of my brake pedal. This typically happens if I apply brakes at high speeds.. Need advice on this..
Just to name few things I did.. Changed master cylinder, bled the brakes, skimmed the discs, tried rear brake calibration..
