Anyone have an assembly diagram for the tailgate sensor/projector light? Mine isn’t mounted for some reason. I have no clue if that last owner decided to dismount it and from an initial look under the car it looks like it was dismounted for a reason.

If anything can someone get up under there and get a good couple of pics for me to see how it’s supposed to mount?



I was going ask but I figured I turn this into a quick how to. I figured it out when I went to take pics.

The unit literally snaps on top of the mounting tray via clips and requires no hardware. I guess the last ownerI clipped it or karate kicked the rear lip so hard it popped out. 🤷‍♂️

I took the liberty of cleaning the projector lense while I was at it.

Well this sucks. I guess I’ll pull it off tomorrow and put a q-tip and glass cleaner to it. If not I’ll order a new one. 🙃1A93F505-22BC-4432-878E-911CA8E41C0E.jpeg

I had no hole drilled in the bumper for it))))
 
Update: Took it to dealer and they are replacing it under warranty. Dropping the car off tomorrow again for install.

For those of you who are viewing this in the future, P/N: 13529154 is what you’re going to need to replace the projector assembly.
 
I have used "Tourx, hands-free." the projector assembly. (Lamp - GM (13529154) Replaces: 23354050) for sale if someone is interested. $40 with free shipping.
