How do you go about getting that cover off?

 

Good damn question

 

Open drivers door. Panel is on end of dash. There is a pull tab on left bottom as you look at it. Should be able to pull outward from dash using this tab.

Kinda confused reading this. So if I want to make my plugs inside the center storage console hot all the time what would I have to do?

Don't know. I was answering the opposite - convert the dash outlet from 12v battery to switched power (also known as RAP). Moving them all to RAP is covered in the Owners Manual. I found no reference to making them all constantly hot (also known as 12v battery).

Locate wires source, cut, and connection to constant 12v source.

Just took off this cover today for first time and I couldn't believe they use 5he same blind fastening system that is used to hold the door panels on! I gues I will keep a non-marring pry tool in the glove box just in case I need to remove the trim panel for the driver's side, or passenger's side fuse boxes. Apparently, there is a third fuse box under the hood. I haven't looked at that one yet, but wouldn't be suprised if I needed to remove the engine to get to it!

For those wondering this fuse seems to only work on the ones on the dash under the radio, my center console inside the compartment still shut off when the door is opened / key off.

 

This is probably what we need but sadly no option for straight battery:

10-52 (Instrument Panel Fuse Block (Right))

1 Accessory Power Outlet 3

2 Accessory Power Outlet 4

35 AC Inverter

 

 

Mine was on "Accessory Power Outlet Battery" (11) from the factory.

Page 9-29 and 9-30 of the Silverado Owner Manual says...

Accessory Power Outlets (APOs)

The vehicle may have APOs in

several locations. See Power

Outlets on page 5-6.

The APOs in the console or center

seat position are powered by RAP (Retained Accessory Power).

They will continue to work for up to

10 minutes after the key is turned

from ON/RUN to LOCK/OFF, or until

the driver door is opened.

The APOs on the center stack come

from the factory powered directly

from the vehicle battery, and supply

accessory power at all times,

regardless of ignition key position.

If electronic items are left plugged

into these APOs for long periods of

time with the vehicle off, the vehicle

battery could be drained. The

vehicle may not start if the battery is

allowed to drain for an extended

period of time.

The source of power for the APOs

on the center stack can be changed

from direct battery power to RAP by

moving the fuse at location 10, in

the left instrument panel fuse block,

to position 11. Once the fuse is

moved, the APOs will continues to

work for up to 10 minutes or until

the driver door is opened. See

Instrument Panel Fuse Block (Left)

on page 10-49 or Instrument Panel

Fuse Block (Right) on page 10-52.

If you are not comfortable

performing this change, see

your dealer.

I hope this helps

 

Good find! I know this post is old but in my 2015 Owners Manual they deleted the part about moving the fuses (the description ends after talking about the battery running down).

 

I would like to do the opposite -- I absolutely HATE that the 12V outlet in the rear of the console (near the rear seats) does not stay hot all the time. Plus I'm thinking of adding both a 12V and 110V to the bed and would like to have them hot all the time as well.

The panel cover just pops off and you need to change the positioning of the 50 amp fuse in the upper left of the photo. From my understanding if the fuse is placed closest to the front of the truck the outlets will be hot at all times. Placing the fuse in the slot towards the back of the truck gives you power with key on only. I have yet to test it but I just moved mine to have constant power.

I tried that but it just turned them all off.

Are you sure you pushed it in all the way. Last thing it should do is turn them off

Yes, I pushed it all the way in and in the back pins of the slot. It turned off the outlets in the center stack along with the console.

Is your ignition key turned to the "Run" position? With the fuse located where you put it ALL the outlets (both front panel and in the console) will be dead whenever the vehicle is turned off.

No, I thought by moving the 50AMP to the other slots that all my power outlets would be hot without the key.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
