I try to slide it away but it seems to get stuck on something. Where should I press down for it to fully slide out? I was in there for a good 3 hours I feel dumb and still couldn't get it out. Thanks for your help!

Red clip only slides away about a quarter of an inch.  It will not come completely out.  Then you press down on the black tab and pull connector out.  I know sometimes it helps to push the connector down a little and then push the black tab in and then pull connector out.

I always wanted a RCSB with buckets and a center console...   Received and installed mine yesterday. Very straight forward, thanks for all who posted instructions and part numbers.   Possibly to h

What black tab? Pic? Sorry I'm just so frustrated but if you guys have done it I know you have experience. And the things I unplugged from the jumpseat, will they just plug into the console? Like a plug and play type of deal? Thanks!

From what I understand it is not plug and play, you will need to create a wiring harness by using the jump seat harness and splicing into the console harness.  I am by no means an authority but these guys on here can give you the specifics.  Try reading through pages 74-76 and you will see the splice method.  I will be attempting this this weekend.  

 

I think the black tab they are referencing is directly in front of the read slide securement?  But I am not sure since I have yet to pull my jump seat out :).  Don't get frustrated you can do it bro!  Be patient and take a break when you feel like destroying the connector :).

Does your charging lid charge, and does it show the indicator on the screen?

So I push down on that tab and it will slide out?


No, pull up on the red, then push in on the black tab. Anything with red tabs you pull them up first. It’s a safety lock essentially

No idea, the iPhone X doesn’t come out until end of month so I’ll know then. Trying to find a friend with a wireless charging phone to test it before hand.

Hey guys! I finally got my jumpseat out and installed my Center Console! A very special thanks to Pgamboa for all of the help. He basically did it all! Very helpful guy. Looks awesome and everything is working except the rear cig for people in the back and the 3 front USB but I was okay with those not working since I don't need all of those things to work. Thank you @pgamboa I couldn't of had done it without you! Thanks for your time and all of your help! This guy knows what he's doing.

If someone is near Fort Myers, FL area that can do this, I'd pay you guys to do it for me when I'm ready to do it. I can definitely remove the current bench seat but when it comes to connectors and splicing, i'd rather not screw around with electrical

I am trying to figure out a harness that will be Plug and Play. I think I am almost there or will get it as close to Plug and Play as possible.

The issue is that I am finding (2) different connectors under the passenger seat... based on year and options.

I am hoping to get mine done like how the factory would have done it, but I have some ideas on how to make very close to PnP.

Sounds good...
I've had a console just sitting in my garage for months and have yet to start installing it. Was thinking of ripping out harness in jump seat and just taking the console to my local audio store that did all my radio upgrades for over the last 10 years.

I bought a plate that eliminates the usb up front and just has 2 12V and the 110 cutout. I use an adapter in my 12V so I can quick charge my Samsung. Plus, as long as usb in console works, I'm ok w that! (Never used the usb in jump seat)

If you remove the jump seat harness, you’ll find a USB Cable and a 6-Pin connector. It’ll look like this below.

This is all you need to get the USB Hub working. For the 12V Cig lighters, there will be (2) you’ll have from the jump seat harness. This can be used to feed any (2) plugs in the console. Under your AC controls... you’ll find the connections for the 110V outlet and another 12v Plug. Those can be used to feed the the front of the console.

The only thing remaining at that point is the front USB Receptacle and (1) 12V Plug left without a feed.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
