Do you still have the part number for this? This is how I was wanting to approach this too. Just run the four wires to a relay panel, then I can wire the relays to my devices.

 

The Attached image has the GM Part Number: 13575783. I honestly do not remember the exact cost of the them , but it was worth it to me so that I did not need to tear into my new switch. I hooked the wires up to the Negative of an automotive relay and they work great! Let me know if you need anything else.

So if everybody is wondering on how to install these auxiliary switches (GM Oem P# 23145158) without the GM upfitter diagram. I purchased the Bussmann 15303 - 5 it is a weather tight fused and relay b

I have just successfully fully integrated my AUX switches OEM style. My fuse block did not come with the relays or fuses, nor did it have connectors for them. I had to purchase a few new things.

Here are some pictures of the modified buttons. I had to remove all the black and white, then respray the white because you couldn't see the icon in the daylight. I am pretty happy with the way they

and here is how it looks on the factory harness side. Make sure you look at the sheet that is posted earlier in this forum as it tells you which pin is Aux 1 , Aux 2 .. and so on.

I see 5 wires in the package, is that correct? Awesome information, exactly what I needed.

There's many different switch panels. But be aware the only ones you can hook a relay up to have the latch switches.

These.62490f7818b1199fc595f4f61f6f777d.jpg

The momentary switches will only be used for small voltage actions controlled by the BCM.

These are momentary (the same kind the remote your tv uses) very low amp. . 6691d94bf5f83064c0d55d13983acd11.jpg

So just to clarify this post the top type switch is capable of switching a standard relay. The bottom type must utilize the "latching relay" mentioned in the last few posts. I am assuming the actual 4 auxiliary switch has the switches like the top photo and the ones such as the 7 switch with exhaust brakes have the bottom photo type.

No only 4 wires are in there.

Did you have to buy all 4 individually? I ordered 2 from my dealer (thinking I would get 4 in a package) and only got 2 single wires. I need to make sure they didn't rip me off. $9.54 ea is a bit steep for single wires!! I can find them $6.04 online with $12 shipping(ouch)

I am pretty happy with the way they turned out, I think I can do better though. post-153411-0-97064400-1453995226_thumb.jpegpost-153411-0-72529300-1453995237_thumb.jpeg

How do you connect your wiring harness to the garage door openers to work as the switch for the LED bar?

 

You connect the wiring harness like you would normally do. When your done, program your homelink with the remote it comes with. Just like your programming a garage door opener. To be honest, Id rather have a switch hard wired. While driving I have to press the button a few times before the lightbar turns on.

That looks pretty good. So you used a white paint behind the vinyl? Was it a translucent paint or just normal spray paint? I had thought about doing a white vinyl behind the black and layering them. I was worried about the appearance at night, but I think you solved that issue.

I just used normal spray paint. The coats could have been a little bit lighter but I wanted to make sure they were even. I sprayed about 3 coats then sanded it flat with 800 grit. They are slightly darker at night but it is barely noticeable. I didn't test the white vinyl, probably should have but I think it would have been to dark.

      Tire pressure for 37s

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
