Are The Wiring Harness & Fuse/relay Blocks All The Same?

My 1999 Suburban 2500 was RPO'd "YG6" (NO factory AC). From what I can tell, the harness has many unused pigtails/plugs in the dash (3 down the RH side of instrument cluster), which leads me to believe that all the harnesses are the same, regardless of factory options. The compressor bracket is present also.

 

Would like to know if the needed connections (compressor/relays/fuses/controls) for installing AC are present?

Thanks Robert.

 

I've got much less than $2k (including tax/registration/tags & a full tank of fuel) in this truck, so new parts were never in the plan. "Cash for Clunkers" means the [junk]yards are FULL of older, "less efficient" vehicles ready to be picked clean! The few I've spoken with locally will sell *everything* for the AC setup for less than $100... just have to go pull it off/out. (I bought 2 complete TBI setups (1-5.7L & 1-4.3L) from one last year for $180)

 

A $100 and some time in the garage (with a cold adult beverage :D ) is well within my means... I just need to know if the needed circuits already exist in the harness, before I buy the parts. If not, I probably won't pursue it and do as you say, just roll down the windows!

 

:lol:

To tell you the honest truth....for 100 bucks I'd be willing to try and make it fit...whats the worst thing that can happen...it doesn't work and your out a few bucks and a few beers.

Just don't charge the system till your certain the setup is working. Than ensure you change all the o-rings to be 100% sure you will not have a leak.

 

If you needed to buy much in the way of new parts, I agree with Rob.

    • Which one, the AT or AS?   Starfire is made by Cooper/Goodyear but at $85/tire I'd think I'd need to level-set my expectations that they may not even be round 😉 But you're saying they're decent?   I'm already into this thing $1506 in parts, fluids, etc. Totaled all my receipts today. $250 of that was replacing an EGR and MAP sensor that were probably fine, but I'm not going to return the parts since they've been installed. I'm cheap, but not that cheap. I use it, I keep it!   I may or may not make money if I sell the truck at this point, but, that wasn't really the point. And if I billed my time, I'd be hosed for real. My thought on the tires is I "might" put 1,000 miles on before selling it. I just don't want to put absolute junk on it, that doesn't do anyone any good. If the Solus solidly isn't junk, I'll definitely consider them.        
    • I leave mine as is. I'm always a trip away from riding on unpaved roads. Dealer can clean it when they prep it after I trade it in for another new truck.
    • I have these on two vehicles and love them. Pepper is one of them 😉 
    • 4WD. Far as I know it came stock with P's and not LT's. Definitely planning to put P's on it, but stock is a 109 XL load rating so I should probably stick within that guideline.   No rebates on anything I can see at the moment. Discount Tire is offering $50 off, but Pep Boys is very competitive on price, and also carries all the off-brand stuff. Les Schwab always wants an arm/leg, but they do good work.   It still has the original spare. Goodyear Wrangler RT/S, thing looks like a tractor tire LOL!! How times have changed.    
    • 2020 Sierra 2500 HD (base model) gas engine 4wd.    All 4 windows roll down on their own. Happens somewhat randomly after stop and engine off - when engine turned off, when walking away from vehicle before or after locks activated. Pulled the window fuse F14 Instrument Panel Fuse Block Right; the driver's side still activates from driver's side door panel; passenger and back seat windows activate from local switches on their doors but not from driver's side group of switches. Power mirrors don't activate with fuse removed either (same fuse for both circuits). Problem not solved.    How can they even activate with fuse removed but they are all still opening and can control from each door?  When they open on their own, I can shut them from the switch in each door, but they don't stay closed.    Seems to be activated somehow with key fob; something bumping the key fob in my pocket or just handling - removed key fob and took it far enough away and now the windows stay closed. Replaced key fob batty just in case, no change.    Sounds like some kind of wiring short or maybe electronics. Dealer will first replace electronic control module without checking anything else and I anticipate problem will still exist since their troubleshooting skills are limited to "do whatever the computer says".  In any case, keyfob seems to be activating the circuitry.    Surely I'm not the only one with this issue, but I can't find anything related on the site. What do yall think?   JohnRoy
