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

Any tips from the experts on how to remove the individual buttons from the housing. 

I have two switches that I want to mix and match. 

this is a link, the video is still not publicly available...

15 Blue Silverado- can you add some details and an update as to longevity of the 1” LEDs you added for landing and aux back up lights? Are the reverse lights in the steps practical  for beam pattern and throw? On my truck it seems like they would angle outwards to 5/7  more than directly to the rear. Can you post pics of the mount locations for the step lights? Did you ever add wheel well lights?

Maybe you could add these updates in your build thread.  Thanks, Dark.   Ooorraaah.

 

 

sorry for the thread hijack. ?

The 1" LEDs in the rear bumper steps I got off Amazon, dirt cheap, came in a pack of 4. Those I just wired into the reverse lights, one at each light. The pigtails that came pre-installed with the LEDs were just long enough. They throw pretty good light for what they are and its more to the left and right rather than straight to the rear. I got them to light up the steps though, cause I like to do a lot of night fishing and where I go it's pitch black, so they help for that. For the step lights, I used a bed-light kit I got from Auto Zone for like $25. Those I tapped into the trailer harness and I put a switch in the bed as well so I can turn them off and on from there. 

I still haven't added the wheel well lights yet, been doing some research on which ones to go with still. Not sure if I want RGB or just single color. 

Yeah, I do need to update my build thread, thanks.

Just got them. And my truck wasn't fitted for the switch so the wires aren't there. So the other post about the blue/green wires don't apply to all trucks. Only trucks with the option installed. So I soldered tw8c1932cd7d0e74aaae999e195812c640.jpgc1f5aea365d9f3a612ec63496f1cbf89.jpg29668bc92941f1cc93f786c2192ce79e.jpg

this saved me so much time and allowed me to figure it out thank you so much

I love the information posted here!

I drive a '18 Sierra SLE for work that I travel home in daily. I'm adding many lights, going for the upfitter switches. I'll be installing them myself. Planning the process out now.

My truck has T/C, bed lamps & HDC(hill decent control). I found and ordered this switch. 

Picture below 

Now trying to find a "narrow" profile HDC switch to replace my new switches #3 position CNG switch.

It's a lot to do, but I'm willing to go for it!

Thanks for your advice and help.

Hello All,

I stayed up very late last night to pan through the entire topic. I am getting all my parts together.

23145191 switch (perfect line up of options for my truck)

relay/ fuse box (engine compartment)

connector pins for X1 (10-13)

What size / gage  wire should I use with those pins at X1?

What size / gage wire should I use at the relay/ fuse box?

 

Thanks for all the great advice, I'm moving forward with confidence and the extra "diods".

Jim

FYI: sending my 23146445 back, why mess with mixing switches around when the correct switch is even cheaper!

Nice! What switch did you find? 20 or 22 Ga works well for the small wires, 14 Ga will work well for most accessories and 30A relays.

Very cool! Check out Waytek for the wire. They have a great selection of automotive crosslink wire.

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.

Just ordered the same one myself, I have a 2017 1500 with the 3 button configuration, and this was like finding the holy grail!

 

Now to figure out what to wire to all these locations... I have 1 and 2 figured out but 3/4 I'm not quite sure what to do with yet???

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off you mentioned "Toyo Says" and then gave the pressures 45/50, was this some person at the tire shop that pulled those numbers out of his head ?   Now of course I can't know your exact axle weights front and rear, however I have much the same pickup as yourself other than not knowing your starting weight as per the pounds the truck rolled out of the factory at due to the options yours did or didn't come with or what you have added beyond the extra tire weight. The correct way to know 100% where a person is at is by weighing each axle with the typical weight the vehicle is driven with and that means taking into account passengers and making sure you figure in a full tank of fuel and a little grace for whatever you may put in the bed "groceries" !    I am looking at and not that it really matters as all the tire companies use the same charts anyway, but I am looking at the comprehensive Toyo tire chart in the section that your tire falls under and I know it sounds confusing but your tire is not an LT metric tire like your factory tire but instead because its a standard inch measured tire its under a different category called an LT floatation series tire. That makes a difference as LT metric tires they don't want to see run below 35 psi at highway speed where as with the LT floatation series it can be run down to 25 psi on the highway as long as the weight on the said size of tire is agreeable with or less than that minimum 25 psi. It blows many people away that how is this physically possible, an empty truck for one thing and larger tires with the same size wheel diameter have a lot more air volume so they can carry the same weight as the smaller tire with less air pressure.    So my truck, I have the stock 275/65R20 wheels and tires and I have a bit of weight in the box with a bak flip cover and a rubber bed mat and some tools and spare gas. The front of my gas truck weighs a bit more than some trucks of the similar spec due to double batteries and alternators. However with full fuel and just me in the truck I am weighted such that I can run 40 front and 35 rear and so that is what I have done since day one.    If I base your truck at or slightly below the weight of my truck, in theory with your tires going by the tire chart you might be right around a minimum of 30 pounds front and 25 pounds rear. Of course that would hit pretty much minimum cold inflation pressure one could run with that tire size and a near empty truck. If you have access to an accurate weigh scale to do individual front and rear axle weights I would suggest you do that and make sure your topped up with fuel and whatever else in the truck before you weigh it and then you will have a great starting point to work off of and figure out what your bare minimum pressures are you can safely run. If you do much in the way of hot weather high speed driving, bumping up a bit for a safety margin is never a bad idea but just depends on what type of driving you do. I will include the Toyo chart and the floatation series sizes start on page 31. Without a doubt at these pressures I am speculating at minimum wise for your truck, it would most certainly ride very different then it did when you were using 55 lb front and rear.     https://www.toyotires.com/media/pxcjubjs/application_of_load_inflation_tables_20200723.pdf

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By rdonarski · Posted

      This landing is worse than most. Patchy blacktop with washouts, soft gravel/sand at bottom that washes out with every heavy rain. I tell everyone to put it in 4WD. A lot of them think they can pull out their trailer in 2WD. They end up digging a hole and then putting it in 4WD.  The lake is a pristine lake and has a lot of money on it. There are several wake boats and lot of large tritoons. The people with the money don't want it improved because they don't want more traffic.    Boat Landing 1.jfif Boat Landing 2.jfif Boat Landing 3.jfif

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      How wide are your rims?   Toyo specs 8.5-10.0-11.0 inches. My thought would be rim might be pulling the tire inwards creating a center that is more pronounced.    I also noticed that the spec sheet says max 65psi. So you could be right lowering the pressure to ~40 psi.
