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

Not sure either. This is a 2016 Denali. Thanks for your input though.

Have you checked operation at night? I thought I had a problem with mine as well but it must have been tied into the light sensor on the dash.

I was going to ask this as well but he said the cargo light comes on. During the day, neither the cargo, bed Lights, or reverse Lights come in. Only at night.

Was just going to say that. They don't come on in the day. Just at night when you unlock it. Not necessary in the day.

The same happens with the Puddle lamps. LOL! I don't know how many times I took the door harnesses off looking at why they wouldn't work. LOL

Well you guys were right. All working as planned. Just not in the day light. Thanks

I also learned that the black sphere looking thing on the top of the dash (center) is the ambient light sensor. If you cover that with a hat or something, you can test things that come on at night that wouldn't come on during the day.

I did this mod a couple of days ago. Used a paperclip with heat shrink, works as intended.

I can't express enough, just how bad of an idea that is...

I also thought that the diode only allows power to flow one way. This way seems that power would go both ways.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Glad that worked, and in this case that is all on Autel for somehow dropping the ball for not updating the GMC section properly.    I believe in the basic section or unless it is in the advanced, when one does a check of lets say individual sensors for what the pressure is ( and it shows a temperature as well ) , I think it picks up on what the model number of the sensor is in a certain section where you choose "OE" sensor or at least mine is telling me what the model number is and matches to what they actually are and that is the number I quoted in a prior post.    I don't recall now if I had said prior that I discovered with my truck anyway that no matter how low I set the placard pressure for the rear tires, if the physical pressure is under 35 psi and I drive it for about 15 miles the pressure warning will come on for one or both rear tires. I am speculating that there is something else in the trucks system that over rides the placard pressure setting once it drops below that minimum pressure to run a metric LT tire at. The weird thing is it does not trigger right away after driving a shorter distance, it took that longer drive for it to trigger. Just something to keep in mind if you were experimenting with pressures below 35 pounds for a tire designed for lower pressures ( larger than stock floatation series tires ) and not being overloaded of course.

      I've seen a scant few YT vids on them, but it's always in a performance application.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      No clue. Service advisor said he'd call me this morning, which I'm 99% sure won't happen. They had the truck 5 days, and I didn't hear a peep. Finally had to call them yesterday. I guess they'd be content to just let the truck sit in perpetuity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.
