As far as I am aware there is only one "upfitter switch" which has 4AUX toggles. Those other part numbers just cover all the other variations of switch banks that control OEM truck options.

 

Below is a picture of what it looks like once you combine part #23145202 with #23145158 (upfitter).

 

I've been working on this for a long time and it's very difficult. Each switch does not have its own wires, rather they push buttons that are mounted on a circuit board inside the thing. If you look through my other thread it explains what I'm trying to do, I just haven't finished the project yet because it's so annoying.

 

AUX1 used to be "Lane departure warning"

AUX2 used to be "Exhaust brake"

 

I'm going to try using the signal from those two systems to trigger relays for the lights.

 

Here's where I'm at so far - two switch sets mixed together:

Do you have the part number and website you ordered this switch set from? I have an sle with premium package so I have the tc cargo light pedals and parking sensors. The one u have seems like it will work with what I have

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

The pictured switch set is not an off-the-shelf item. You have to buy part #23145202 and #23145158, then take them apart and combine them together. I just went to my GM dealers parts department and ordered both.

Hi everyone!

First post!

 

I wanted to thank you all for this helpful post!

I am just waiting for the new switch to come in and will be doing this mod in a couple of days. Relay is already installed for my back up/high beam answer to the person behind you light.

 

One question. Has anyone tested to see if the dummy switch actually actuates a pin? Example, pin #3 is marked unused, yet I have a wire going to it currently I have hill descent (pin 4) and thought I would be able to move the pin location to the one the dummy switch activates if possible. If not, bye bye HDC!

Disregard last question. I just got the switch in the mail today and see that the dummy switch is just that. Doesn't move at all.

Yup. Don't push too hard or it'll break.

 

You don't even have to ask how I know that.

What size wire went inside that connector was it 20 gauge or 18 gauge because I contacted GM parts at my local Chevy dealer and they said it just comes up as wire they didn't say anything about the size what type of connector

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 box, took the wiring diagram that GM up fitter provides and did my own diagram. I also purchased the Pre- crimp wires to go into the back of the harness (GM OEM P#13575783). Made it much easier than trying to figure out what size connector it was. Purchased all parts needed from Delcity.com. Wire I purchased at my local Automotive Store 12 gauge for 20 amp, 14 gauge for 15 amp, 18 gauge from relay (pin 86) to switches. Works Fanstastic.

So I am new on here but I have been following this post and I have a question. What would pin 19 IECM be used for out of curiosity? Do is supply a varying voltage based on vehicle speed?

not sure why you would have to touch the iecm at all while installing the axillary switches, all you are doing is using the existing harness on the back of the Traction control and cargo light. Your using empty pin slots 10 11 12 13.

you have to get the appropriate power for your relay. Either accessory, start/run, or battery

I just went directly off the battery to a 50 amp resetable breaker then of the load side of the breaker to the the bussman 15303-5 fuse/relay box on to the postive stud which is constant power for the mini fuses on one side and then all i did was run 18 gauge wire from pin #86 on the realy to the Auxiliary switch.

      Trim level custom/pro

      Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.

      I think the ship has sailed on the fuel injection type - everything is getting direct now.  Does it help with mpg?  Not really and nobody buying a HD truck really cares anyway.  But that is what it is at this point.  Piston rings is something they may well adjust over time to get them right.

      I don’t have detailed measurement data, but this past March we were hiking and camping in Death Valley and the Las Vegas area when this Spring’s heat wave hit with 105 plus temperatures and our 2021 L8T system kept our crew cab as cool as we wanted it (68F setting) with no trouble. Fan flows on auto once stabilized were fairly low. It seems like the OP’s system should be performing better.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      Yes that's correct on the route to Durango - we just followed what google maps recommended.  That is quite the pass btw - very steep going back down.  I didn't even need manual mode - I just used cruise control and set the truck at 50 I think when it was a 45 posted speed and for the most part it just held it there by keeping it in the right gear - everyonce in awhile there is a sharper turn that I just braked for - but it was pretty smooth going down it on both sides.  Amazing views around there for sure - we had no real time to stop, were on the clock for a set-up time, but we did stop in some 2 horse town somewhere a couple hours oustide of Durango in the middle of nowhere for burgers.   And yes - lots up up and downs on the Durango trip but I think it's a big difference going 70 vs. going 80-83 with the aero in play with these big trucks.  Even the much smaller Colorado does reallt bad on gas going up over 70, I think I would have been lucky to get 18 on that trip in the Colorado honestly.  The full size is definately more comfy for a long road trip too, and the amount of gear we had would have meant two vehicles if I still had the Colorado.

      I'm not sure what my temps were, but it would take my 2024 about 4-5 miles of driving before my AC started cooling. They replaced my compressor under warranty.
