Do your DTRL's go off when you set the parking brake? If so, have you checked the brake switch?

Found the problem, turned out to be a 2"x1-1/2" alum heat sink that is finned, located under the dash basicly behind the cig lighter, mounted to a long bar the goes across the tahoe., with a dark colored 2 wire plug, Everything works awsome now

not sure, you can go to a gm dealer and ask them to look up the part and then once you know what your looking for you can call auto salvage yards in your area and get a deal since you will know what the part is and what it would go for from the dealer.
