Schlegle1, did you leave the original harness in the new console? I left mine in and added the jump seat harness. I tapped into the original power outlet wiring coming out of the front of the ip.used power and ground to run the other power outlet and power to the wht/brn wire on the new harness to power the light. Ran a ground wire from circuit 1050 in the picture above to ground. I think it is a larger black wire. 15 amp fuse runs 2 outlets and light. it's an led so no real power draw to speak of. As I think back, I don't think the rear outlet works but I don't care. I'll never use the 3 I have now. As I said in an earlier post I would probably do it different if I did it over again. Was up against the clock so I didn't have the time to really think the process through. But everything works that I will ever need so it isn't worth changing.

I actually swapped harnesses (removed the one from the full console and then removed the one from the original jumpseat and plugged it into the spots on the new console, because i didn't know how i would plug the now console harness into the truck since it had two completely different ends) was this the right thing to do? and if so where should i tap into in this harness in order to get the outlets that you got working to work? Or should i switch back to the harness that came with the full console? and if so how do i plug it in since the harness main plug is different from the original?

 

 

I know I'm a real pain in the A** with this but I'm just trying to get a diagram set up for everything being wired so i do it right. Especially the LED, if i could get a diagram of how to tap that one in that'd be awesome. (the way i take it is i run the white/brwn wire to power (+) and the black wire at 1050 i run to a ground(-)?)

OK.. mine's in.   Here's a writeup, cos I haven't seen one so far.   1. remove the "ash tray" and cig. ligther in your dash with 3 t-10 torx screws, and 2 clips. 2. Remove the radio trim, clips i

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

The new harness will not plug in anywhere. I cut the large connector off and used the wires that I needed.

not to bring back a old question of mine but.

i think we(you) discovered the center console has 2 wiring harnesses:

#1 - Comes from the radio down

#2 - is in the center console that powers all the outlets and light.

and the jump seat has 2 wiring harnesses:

#1 - Comes from the radio down

#2 - is in the jump seat that powers all the outlets.

harness #1 is different depending on which option you choose , center console or jump seat (which i still think is a fail on GM....)but can we just buy this harness to make it all plug and play?

Sure you can. As far as I know it would be the whole ip harness. Someday I'll have a customer console apart and see how this is all wired from the factory. Could be tomorrow or maybe a year from now. Or may I'll grab one off the lot and pull the front plate off and grab some pics one of these days when I get some time.

if that harness isnt insanely overpriced ill probably go that route...also as long as its not insanely hard to chase the wires.

 

one other thing im curious of that you may know is that i heard the OEM heated switch buttons are under the dash, any clue if they are also running under the seats?

i was looking at getting Katzkin leather seats and adding the OEM GM heated set bezle with OEM GM heated seat elements.

ive heard from a friend that these are VERY good quality seat covers that actually fit very well, they used them to recover Fords at his dealership.

Anything with console wiring?

Not sure how much more I can say. At some point ya just have to go to it. Plenty of info here.

yea I agree, i guess my biggest question is:

 

I swapped the old harness into the new console so that i could plug it into the main plug in (the big one under the pass seat) You said you kept the new harness and just cut the end off, how did you hook the harness to the vehicle then?

If anyone is looking for the console organizer #22817343 they have them on Amazon for $39.49 shipped. I looked at some of the big GM parts dealer sights and they all wanted $35-40 plus $12 or so for shipping.

Was the bracket (22776807) required for the installation……tbarn, or anyone?

Yes, if you want the front secure and rattle free. Doesn't cost much in the big picture. It is the only thing holding the front 1/3 of the console.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
