Sorry to bear the bad news, but you bought the wrong light kit. That's for the 14-15. 16+ has a different plug.

 

No the 23295942 is the 6 pin one for the 2016. The one for the 14-15 is a 8 pin one. So I have the right part, just having trouble finding where the plug goes.

I installed the after market ones. I tied them into my cargo lights. Great mod!!     Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Just as a heads up: The junction box comes with a cover for the plug that these plug into. So I made my own plug out of the cover with a couple parts from other plugs i had laying around and sealed

All the way to the right? According to

that would make it the x400 plug which is already used by the tail lights.

That would be the one, if you have something plugged in there you are already wired for cargo lights. Here's some pics from mine I just took. I did mine 2 weeks ago.

Thank you sir. I am going to go check what is connected in the X400 but it's def. not the cargo lights cause the only lights I have in the bed is the lights next to the middle break lights.

I ordered the OEM jumper harness, DT connectors and led strip lights and did a custom install given that my LT didn't come with the cargo lights. It turned out great. I used extruded aluminum channel to mount and secure the lights. Also, ran one strip across the center of the bed using my tonneau cover seam. It provides even more light in the front and the rotates up with the cover when opening from the back or front. I used a DT connector for the center strip so I can simply disconnect it to take the cover completely off.

I bought some truck bed LEDs from Autozone, 4 pods on each side, and hooked them up to the hitch harness. I just put a switch in the bed for now under the rail until I can wire them into the cargo lights with a constant so I can turn them on whenever. But for now they work great and the light output is awesome for having a black bedliner. I'll post pics later

I like that. I want to be able to turn mine off and on from the bed. I don't want to have to walk up to the cab and turn them off and on.

Just picked up my truck last week and want to put some lighting in the bed.

 

Which ones did you use from Autozone

I paid like $25 bucks for the set and they're awesome. I'll post pics of the switch later when I get home.

I got my kit GM P/N 22933562 from a guy on Ebay for $40.00 shipped. Harness, fasteners, and lights included, all new unused parts. Interesting that the kit was not shipped in the factory box. Hmmm...

Installed it, plugged it in, and it works. What else could I ask for for $40.00 ???

 

Thinking about buying the other one he has on Ebay right now for the same price.........

Here's more pics of my setup. Just need to install some better clips to hold the wires. b4aedaacb6f19180e0b4f71c535c3be1.jpg0dd601177bff4fa6ef0b9dd40f7db081.jpge27c58995cdb8c1162d5f7c716765f0a.jpgfbce0a468992b56e040b2c22699f9e23.jpg

The ones I got were something like these but a different brand. They were the black pods with the angle on them so when you mount them flush, they're aimed downward which I like.

      If there are updates/fixes you want, you could pay to have the updates applied by the dealer.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.
