Foglights On With High Beams

Apparently I suck at this.  Fog lights didn't come on unless switched on and turned off with brights. I also need a new diode. I bent the hell out of mine pushing it in.

Welcome to the party. I still  haven't been able to install mine yet. Gave up. How many extra diodes do you have?

A big fat zero. I thought I was getting multiple from Amazon but they sent one. Heading to the hardware store tomorrow to see if they have one.

I’ll be trying it again this week.


On the fog light mod I pulled the plug out to make it a bit easier to push diode in. First corner bent the diode a bit. I straightened it back out then tried next corner and it went in smooth. Then I tested a the corners on the high beam wire. Once I figured out which corners were good it went in no problem.

I did the same thing. On Amazon there are like 20 people selling packs of multiples and I order the single 1 for the same price from one seller. He was laughing his ass off I bet when he got my money. Either way paid the same for the pack of 50 or more

I took one of my smaller phillips jewelers screwdrivers to make a path for the diodes, or even one of the small common-tip jewelers to help manipulate the diode's way into place.

My diode mods, from picture above. 1N4004 diode mods (strip toward second pin/wire):

GRY1 to GRY8 - Puddle lights on with all interior lights

BRN26 to PNK26 - Cargo lights on with Reverse (reverse the diode for R lights on with Cargo)

BRN18 to BRN22 - Fogs on with High Beams (Silverado's Lows stay on with Highs)

There are others for Park/Low on all the time, Fogs on with Lows, Fogs always on, etc. Believe the entire list is in "$50 and under modifications" thread, could also be in this thread somewhere.

Yeah. I’ll have to do that. I thought I had the diode in. I’m trying to get my fogs on at all times. I just need to double check which slots I’m putting it into...................... on the plug.

 

Had to find a recent list. I did mine by putting the stripe end in first, and a fine tip jewelers screwdriver before the diode, to make a easier path for the lead. BRN18 to BRN22 (stripe end). Push the lead we’ll into each pin, at least 1/4”.

Thanks, brother.  I appreciate the help.  I'll have to unclip it and go at it tomorrow or Thursday, then.

Yeah, that was another thing that I had to do, to make it a little easier, unclip it.

Corrected my entry above, had wrong pins.

Looking through the schematics, looks like you'll have to jump BRN10-BRN22.
