Weeeeellllllll, more than likely a simple electrical glitch, but what if it's some sort of signal, like flashing clearance lights on a bus? You'd think a 3 year old truck wouldn't have electrical gremlins just yet, so watch out for the black Suburbans. With all the gee-gaws in a truck today, it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
firemedic2816 Thanks this. -
When my 17 579 did that, The CCU had corroded. Basically several of the internal switches for lack of a better term started shorting and going weird. Took a full CCU replacment and reprograming to fix the issue. Hopefully thats not YOUR issue. But thats what i got.

2021 579, dash lights don’t work sometimes and AC doesn’t work sometimes either. The fix is to shut the truck off, wait 5-20 minutes and start it back up.

I like to use used parts that are already in place and functioning if it's something I can't diagnose or I need confirmation of a diag. Electrical always keeps a man on his toes.ducnut, firemedic2816 and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
Where they bunch the wires together at the bottom of the firewall is another place to start looking. They bundle them tight and tie them to a metal bracket and the wires will rub together inside the plastic loom. Depends on how far you want to dig.
gentleroger, D.Tibbitt and Iamoverit Thank this. -
If it's just that single light there's a chance it's in the wiring. I've had trailer and pigtail issues do random things like too. One time, it was just a cheap Chinese LED bulb that was screwing everything up.

This truck has been a pain in the rear since I got it last January, just keeping the local dealerships busy
