Dual Battery 6a6 Option


Recommended Posts

Posted

How about this factory dual battery setup on the Tahoe option 6A6, it looks so simple to me: The Aux Pos cable is going under to the starter Key21.

from this it looks like all you need is:

--25825642 Cable Key 6

--15888242/25876896 F Cable Key 8

--14005061 Retainer

--11509853 Screw

--+Key 1 Key 5 + positive cover

What is this 3 way mega fuse is for? from the diagram there is no o direct connection to aux setup?!!

 

I am curious.

The TP2 option is completely different and looks difficult!, and goes through a relay and the 3 way mega fuse setup, for normal trucks with single battery there is no relay or 3 way mega fuse, but in the Tahoe above (think police version) there is only a 3 way mega fuse (no relay!) but not utilized by the aux setup?!

You lost me with all those big fancy, colorful letters and all the excitement and exclamation points. Almost sounded like a car salesman trying to sell a car to me. Anyway, exactly what is your question?

Posted

What I meant is that it's all there with factory diagram, part numbers, you see in the part below the diagrams, the option 6A6 and TP2 is clearly identified, so you know the extra parts that are needed. Despite the part numbers that were listed in other posts, almost all posts are still not clear to many people..... I found this information helpful and thought it will clear some confusion.

 

In all posts I have not seen anyone give these diagrams which shows existing setup (none dual setup) VS dual setup...I am not selling anything, I know some people like to go the OEM route and some don't. You may not like this if you are selling the none OEM setup!

 

This is just another reference! for 2007+, print it, highlight what you need and take it to your parts guy, as you can see it also explains exactly what is included under each part number. Or if you choose take it to your dealership, and say this is it, do it!!!

 

Regarding the question, I was curious about the Tahoe setup, it has the 3 way mega fuse but it is not used for dual setup (6A6)?! That's all!

I don't sell anything either, but all those colorful letters were distracting. For someone like me, anyway.

    • Hello hello looking forward to expanding my knowledge of the 2026 2500 HD that I just bought.   Truck has 3500 miles on it four-wheel-drive crew cab and I’m about to put a 6 1/2 inch BDS lift on it 18 x 10 -25 offset with 37’s   Already have the wheels and tires just waiting on the lift install in about three weeks   Question what surprises am I not gonna be happy with?  I’m not new to lifted trucks so I know that acceleration towing gas mileage all that is affected..   Question is those of you that have this truck this powertrain with a 10 speed Allison and have done the mods that I’m doing,,, how bad is it? Is that Allison constantly gonna be hunting for the right gear to go into? And what about towing, acceleration, fuel consumption as mentioned?    Lastly how come I can’t find any ring pinion gear set up for these axles and when could I expect to see them?   I apologize if there’s any typos I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone.    
    • I've got a 2013 2500 6.0L Flexfuel. Drove the truck earlier today with no issues. Went to run an errand tonight and noticed key fob wouldn't work. Figured battery was dead, so replaced fob batter. Still wasn't working. Grabbed my other set of keys with the other fob and that one wasn't working either. So I manually unlock truck and insert key. Interior lights come on, dashboard lights up, turn key and truck starts. Turn truck off, like a moron, and try starting again. This time no crank, no click, no nothing. Lights still come on and dash lights up, but now I'm getting a service 4wheel drive, service tire monitor, etc. Check voltage on battery and Im showing 12.2v. Throw my battery charger on it and give it 15 mins and try starting again. But still no crank no start. Decide maybe its a bad battery, run to autozone grab a new one and put it in. Same issue. Disconnect battery and let it sit for 15 mins. Try again and still nothing. I had managed to roll the windows down earlier as its a humid night, but now I can't get them to roll up. Power locks are also not working now. Then randomly I try the key again, and it fires right up. Immediately I roll up the windows as we have nothing but rain forecast this week. I shut it back off wait 30 seconds and start up again. Worked a 2nd time. So turn it off, start putting things back together. Try one more time, and back to no crank no start. And now the car alarm starts going off. Had to disconnect battery and leave it that way for the night as I don't think my neighbors would appreciate my alarm going off again tonight. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. 
    • No one will care for you like you care for you. Do what you can for as long as you can. IMHO of course. 
    • How about them NICKS!!! 
    • Hi there.  Long time lurker, first post.    i have read the previous posts regarding the water ingress problem with this emblem.  I bought my 1500 SLT the  summer of 2025 new and after reading the MANY problems with these emblems failing I decided to install one anyways.  As per a YouTube video, I sealed ( or tried to) this sign with silicone sealant around the outer perimeter joint and the holes that were already somewhat sealed on the rear plate of the emblem.  And installed the connector assembly using dielectric grease on the connectors. The installation looked great and worked well for about 4 months……then FAILURE.  Grrrrrr…… I live in the great white north and wash my truck weekly in an automatic car wash  to keep the salt off.  Let me tell you that removing the old, failed emblem is a whole different animal than removing the OEM individual letters without removing the grill assembly. Mainly because the illuminated logo is built differently than the original letters which  you can remove the red surface lettering with a knife or some kind of blade which gives access to the tabs which hold the logo onto the grill. So I had to essentially destroyed the old emblem to remove it. Doing so killed my chance of doing somekind of autopsy on the failed , old logo.  But there was plenty of water inside when I ripped it apart.  Prior to installing the new assembly I tried it with the old harness and it works fine.   Does anyone have any insight as to where the water is getting into this emblem? I intend to seal the new logo with slow curing epoxy this time around using a syringe.  I think this newer emblem may be an updated unit which I hope GM got the vendor to fix. It has an October 2025 date on it.    If this one  fails,  I am just going to revert back to the non-illuminated letters….AFTER PULLING THE GRILL.    Any thoughts on sealing with epoxy would be appreciated. Thx!   Doug
