Well i bought a few things, I bought the buttons, and the metal connectors i used to plug into the buttons. These connectors were pretty easy to find since all i needed was something that fit snugly onto the prongs inside the buttons. The connector that i needed for the plug that goes into the clockswitch was a different story.

 

I had a very patient parts counter person who looked for about 45 minutes for this very hard to find connector. This is the wire that is not included in our factory harness, so it must be added. It is the one that goes inside this plug (highlighted in red) The part number on this little connector was 15305174. I don't know if that is a GM Part number or a delphi part number, but hopefully it gets you started in the right direction. post-66063-1259816193_thumb.jpg

 

For the shroud, i took a piece of paper and traced the cutout for the cruise control side and then traced it onto the other side of the shroud. I'll see if I can get a picture tomorrow. The cutout isn't perfect by any means, but you cant really see it because of its location.

 

Here are the connectors I bought from the dealer. Soldered them onto the wire and then added some heat shrink tubing afterward.

After I added the heat shrink tubing, i pushed each wire I made onto the prongs inside the buttons. After I got them all pushed in all the way, i took some ultra black silicone and filled the rest of the cavity where the factory gm connector would go. I did this to lock the wires in place so that they wouldn't vibrate out or get pulled out accidentally.

Then I spliced the three wires i needed into the factory harness. Re-wrapped the harness with electrical tape and reassembled.

 

Edit: I belive the part number I listed above is a delphi part number

What three wires did you splice into? I am trying to do the same thing on my impala, which has the same stereo and controls.

You can splice into the remaining wires anywhere in the wire as long as you get the correct color wire. The oem connector to the radio controls (which we do not have) is not labeled, but looking at it from the top/front of the steering wheel the wire colors are: Black, Brown, Pink w/Black stripe, and Light Green. I simply used a utility knife and stripped a little bit of insulation off of the wire wherever it was convenient. The soldered the new wire to this spot and taped them up good.

 

Take the wire you have placed in the top most position in the switch and splice it into the black wire in the existing harness. The wire you put in the second place from the top should be spliced into the brown wire in the existing harness. Third wire will be spliced into the pink w/black stripe wire in the existing harness. And the Fourth (or furthest to the bottom) wire will be the new wire that goes into the "c" position.

 

The reason we have 3 common wires in the rest of the steering wheel are because 2 of the common wires are used for backlighting in the radio control switch, and one supplies either a common power or ground to both the cruise and the radio switches.

 

Hope this helps,

Nice job man I trying to the same for my truck, I drive and 2007 Silverado, I bought new but I got tired of manual lock and manual windows and mirrors, so I went to a junk yard and took a part a lt Silverado and bought the door panels with the electric windows and locks electric mirrors, the center console, the speedometer, and all the silver trims for the truck.

 

I made all of the above work just the electric looks couldn't.

 

And the steering wheel that I bought was the volume controls, and I also took from the truck in the junk yard the clock spring, and I been reading this log, I decided it's time to get mi volume controls working,

 

Thanks to you

 

But I just have a couple of doubts, the first picture in this post that you added is the connector of the clock spring right or is it from the radio?

 

Please man, guides me a little bit so I won't mess up my truck.

 

I would appreciate it.

 

Thank :P

The pictures I have posted are all from in behind the air bag. Which would be where the harness plugs into the clock spring. I never messed with removing the radio at all.

Have to work on sizing images, but here is the black plug. If you already have cruise then you can see the wires going to that plug.

 

Is this the plug from the back of the radio controls?

Not sure how much money and time you have spent on this, but a new steering wheel with all the controls and associated harness is like 95 bucks new from the dealer and takes maybe 5 minutes to change out. If you dont have factory cruise you can change the clock spring out to one made for cruise and then add the new wheel to gain the radio controls. Cruise must be "turned on" in the bcm by a dealer willing to do so.

I have a 06' Silverado with Bose, Onstar, Xm, steering wheel audio controls. I replaced OEM deck with new D-Din and is wheel control ready.

 

Someone please tell me which wires running out of the stock radio harness are for the steering audio controls.

Does anybody know which wires from radio harness goes to the steering wheel controls? I'm trying to hookup a pioneer touchscreen in my 2008 Silverado and I have the after market interface but I have splice into the steering wheel controls to get them to work w/ my pioneer radio and have no idea what color those wires are. Help would be much appreciated ,pictures would be fantastic too. Thanks a bunch in advance.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
