Is this fuse/wire box located under the hood or somewhere on the driver side?

On the drivers side inside the truck. Look under the steering wheel down by where the latch is for popping the hood

Okay so I was inspired by 2 threads here, one being the fog lights on with high beams, which I did and love. The other is a thread about putting a switch in the bed by the tailgate to turn on the car

Hello,   Good idea, but I took your step little different. I have the puddle light and I tapped into that.     This way, when vehicle is in "run" position, puddle lights and the cargo lights w

Thanks. I have a 2016 and wasn't sure if it was the same. Going to head out now, just have to find the diodes.

That was super easy. Thanks for the reply. Now I need to read the thread about fogs always on when headlights come on.

Read all the pages on this thread and I am going to perform this mod but I just wanted to double check with you all. I have a 2016 Sierra that has reverse LEDs on the tow mirrors. Question: is the wiring the same for my truck and will all the cargo lights and the reverse LEDs in the mirrors turn on when I hit the unlock on the FOB? Thanks

See my profile pic, I have the same mirrors. To your question, yes the wiring is the same for all. And yes, like the last 13 pages have said, in the dark, your mirror reverse lights, rear cargo lights and tail light reverse lights will illuminate when you press the unlock button on the remote AND when you press the cargo light on the center stack all the same lights will illuminate.

 

It'll take you longer to go and buy the diode than it will to install it. Neat mod!

Just finished installing a jumper wire instead of a diode. What a fantastic mod. It works great. Now on to the fog light mod.

Question ...

 

If i do the cargo light mod, then reverse it as well. Is that going to create any issues with the BCM shorting out or anything?

 

Currently just have the cargo one we are all doing.

If you have 2 left (fog and bed light mod), I would mind them. I'll pay for your shipping.

Does this work on 2016?

 

Anyone perform this on 2016?

 

We're the cable colors/locations different?

 

And issues with the BCM or electrical?

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
