Center console swap?

EaZ8 · July 1, 2014

does anyone have the GM tech wiring diagrams and service manual?

i really dont think GM has a different wiring harness in each build based on just a jump seat or center console. i bet the plug is under the carpet or tucked under the dash somewhere.

Yeah, that plug has to be there somewhere.

that or there is another adapter harness.

i should be able to get into the GM manuals sometime this week. i plan on doing this mod, i really wanted the center console but im not into splicing wires on a truck that im taking delivery of tomorrow.

No adapter harnesses. 1st and 2nd design IP harness for truck with console (D07). 1st and 2nd design for truck without console (D09). So their are 2 available harness for each application.

4 part numbers.

just curious where the info comes from? i couldnt find it on gm parts direct.

not questioning you, just the builds. it just seems dumb for GM to have the wiring coming out of the dash different just based on the center console.

on my old CTS you could take a radio out of the 2003 ts with a built in OBD2 scanner and plug it into a 04-07 and have a scanner.

same with a few other features, all the main wiring harnesses were the same just blocked off. even on my very old 1990 civic, it didnt come with a clock but pop off the plastic cover and the factory clock would just plug in (mind you it was probably just a positive and negative wire.)

can anyone give a breakdown of what inputs/plugs there are on the ones factory equip with the console and those factory equip with the seat?

i just went to check on my truck and they haven't done the box liner yet so i wont get it till thursday.

GM parts catalog

just checking the service manual...still doing some digging.

there is a section that says to have a assistant lift up the carpet, and i took a small screen shot of the center console harness where it plugs in, it looks like it would be right where the ashtray is i think.

edit -

here is the only picture i can find that shows where it will plug in...kinda.

i obviously dont have my truck yet so i dont remember what plugs are in the jump seat armrest and what are in the center console. the information they give the techs is very vague because this isnt really something they want to be as a dealer installed upgrade, its all just unbolt this unbolt that and detach electrical plug.

then for the seat it just says remove the 4 bolts and unplug wiring. i really think the harness is in the truck, ill do some digging once i pick mine up...this should be plug and play...hopefully.

Interesting

Good luck with that plug-n-play thing.

This is not the news I was hoping for.

If it's any consolation, if you use the harness out of the old seat, all of the same plugs you have now will work. No rewiring required.

the parts are ordered for my new console from our dealership this week. I was wondering if anyone could give me a step by step of how to get the wiring in the front to work ( I understand no one has gotten the usb's to work yet) but what did you do to get the front power outlets and the LED inside the console to work? Pics or step by step of wiring color/location for each?

This would be really helpful.

Thanks
