i was wondering if anybody knows how to turn on the cargo light without the dome being on in a new sierra. my buddy has on '05 silverado and he just presses a switch. i want to be able to turn it on only so that i can see out of my window and into the bed of my truck at night to make sure nothing as blown out or leaning on anything it shouldn't be. any help would be awesome

 

You would need to find the wire that goes to the cargo lamps and run a hot wire through a switch and to that wire.

 

The cargo light comes off the BCM on connector X6 pin 2 then into the left instrument panel junction block X12 pin 6 then out X9 pin 6. If you intercepted that wire anywhere along the way and cut it and applied 12V to the wire that leads to the lamps (not to the BCM) you would light those 2 bulbs. Or you could remove the dome lights and then use the knob to turn the cargo lamp on.

 

The left instrument panel junction block connector x12 is the brown connector; looking at the end of the connector that goes into the junction block with the release facing up, the lower left pin is 1 the pin to the right is 2. The left instrument panel junction block X9 connector is purple; this connector's pin layout is the same as the previous. The X6 connector on the BCM is pink, pin 2, if you are looking at the end of the connector that plugs into the BCM with the release clip up, the upper right hand pin is 1, the pin to the left is 2.

 

Hopefully this makes sense, if not, I will try to clarify. Are we allowed to post information from the Helm service manual? I know we were under the GM lockdown for a while.

 

 

I want to track down this wire and try to add some sort of switch for my cargo lights.

Same here. It would be nice to be able to use the bed light without turning on the interior lights. I thought about hooking the reverse lights into the bed light for loading my snowmobile at night.

I will see what I find under there later today. Please keep in mind that the info came from brims, so if it is successful than it is all thanks to him.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.
