Possible however, that port will charge my phone with out issue and the usbstick i put in there lights up. I havnt tested the aux jack in there either.

 

My AUX jack wasn't working, either. I assume it's just a USB device internally connected to the hub.

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

Finally the console is complete now ready for the install and see what other problems I run into

there was some one here that did some weird cable splicing. and got everything working, I dont remeber if he had a glove usb.  One thought I had was why are we using the front usb pass through. Why cant we use the usb that was under the seat in the first place. Thoughts? How many usb outputs does the hmi have two or three?

Ok, I double checked every connection, everything looks right to my knowledge.

 

  • Everything in the front of the console works, both USB, both 12Vs, and the 110V (this shows open ground on a circuit tester, I assume that's normal? I didn't check it before the swap.)
  • The 12V inside the console and on the back of the console for the back seat work.
  • LED inside the console works.
  • Wireless charging lid works.
  • 2 USBs inside the console charge devices.
  • 2 USBs inside the console work with Android Auto when my phone is plugged into them.
  • 2 USBs inside the console DO NOT WORK FOR USB MEDIA. This is the only thing not working.

I even checked the 2 wires on the power plug for the front USB hub that is part of pgamboa's harness with a multimeter and confirmed there is 12V across the pins.

 

I don't know what the problem could be. Obviously there's some communication going on with the inside USB ports because Android Auto works. Could it be a problem with one of the hubs. How hard is it to remove the interior hubs? Maybe try swapping it with the one from the jump seat since I think they're the same part?

Using the full function of the usb depends on your HMI.  The HMI only has two USB connections to give the full functionality and the others would only receive power without other features.  Phil @pgamboa can answer this much better.

also a thought is to come from the floor usb to the front usb, then out of the front usb to the interior usb. Its either a hub problem or a cable problem, again it works stock.

I find it odd that CarPlay works perfectly but not USB Data (Media). I’ll have to retest this on mine and will report the results...

When I return from vacation :)

Update to my list above: AUX doesn't work either.

 

I'm willing to test anything the more knowledgeable people would like me to.

If you still have your jump seat, can you pop the USB hub out of it and try it?

I know there are hardware differences between 14-15 modules versus 16+ where car play was introduced.

There are also auxiliary input detect signals in the harness so I will check those as well on mine. When I started building the prototype harnesses, I tested 3.5mm aux input and phone as CarPlay. I don’t recall testing a flash drive in in the inside compartment as it worked on the front hub and glove box USB.

You have to pop it out from inside. If you have a strong L-Shape pick tool you might be able to pop it out from the front.

I didn’t have much luck doing it that way, so I removed the rubber part of he cup holder and cup holder itself and took apart as much as I could to gain access to it.

Got it pulled from the jump seat, wasn't hard at all.

These hubs have a connector on them with a bunch of wires that the front console hub doesn't have.

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
