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.

      Slate Electric Truck

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
