i bench tested "my donor" s48a switch panel with a computer power supply (12vdc) to verify the pins and test the dpdt relays. i forgot to take pictures of everything when i actually had it setup

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

i found that these relays work flawlessly for my setup (thank you @Vuk ) and i went back to my original setup with some rearranging of the term blocks etc. just waiting for my 3rd latching dpdt relay to come in the mail and ill be done!

Very clean; I like to document things myself because it makes your life so much easier down the line.

 

I wish there were a few spots like the AUX battery ? Mine is taken by the actual battery so I had to tuck my latching relays under the dash - it's not too crowded in there.

so then i tried this 6 channel latching relay because of my enclosure size, but i had issues doubling up channels with one trigger

 

 

 

One of mine has an issue turning off. What was the Cng button turns on fine, but wants to stay on. The Park assist turns off fine. Using 2ch latching relay. Saw in another thread that you sometimes need a 2nd switch to make it work  right.

I need a little help with wiring the relay boards to make sure they turn off, as they should.  Right now I have a 2 channel running 2 switches.  I'm going to use one board for each switch.  How do you run the 2nd channel to break the latch? I have ground to com,  no is output. Do I run 2nd ch differently?

There are two types of latching circuits:

 

1. set/reset that require two buttons where one specific button is designated for setting (turning on), and the other one is designated for resetting (turning off)

2. toggling that require one button

 

If you don't want further complications, you should utilize the toggling type. I am looking at your previous post with the Amazon item description and I think that is the toggling type. Do you have the recommended resistors wired in the circuit? If you have even tried the board without those resistors it may be damaged.

Oh I see now, I failed to see that you only need series resistors if you use a different power supply for the external trigger circuitry.

 

One board that you've shown should be enough for two switches - the two channels should be independent. You set a pulse on the CH1 trigger input, and the relay turns on; you set another pulse on the CH1 trigger input, and the same relay turns off; same holds for CH2. If the board doesn't operate this way then it may be faulty.

Thanks. I have another one on the way. I'll try it. I thought there had to be a 2nd trigger to de-latch the relay. It works fine, sometimes,  sometimes doesn't.

Is it possible to use the 30A terminals on the upfitter block in the driver side footwell if you don't have the switches, or is the necessary wiring simply not there? I have a 2016 Silverado LTZ, I"m looking to add some accessories inside the cab and thought I may be able to easily pull accessory or RAP from this location.

Here is a link to a fully populated plug. The accessory pins are the perfect place to grab power for a CB, outlets, ect.

The 30 amp pins are coming from the X50A upfitter relay outputs (terminal 87). Without those relays, and without those relays wired back to the X61A they will not have power.

That's actually one of the harnesses I'm looking at and one of the devices I'm looking to power is an amateur radio. With a test light I can locate constant and switched power, but the (4) 30A pins appears to be dead under all conditions. Is there any way to make them hot, preferably as RAP, or are they useless without the switch bank? Just trying to avoid running wire through the firewall if I have all the power I'd need right there.

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      Based on what I can tell, yes.   As for updating it, its a mixed bag.  Updates do fix a lot of issues, but occasionally can create some oddities.  They do more good than harm though overall.     Here's what the most current one does and a  V171 Improvements Important: Improvements will vary by model, build configuration, system, and sales region. Not all vehicles have all features. OnStar and Wi-Fi may not work after remote start CarPlay may not automatically reconnect Part of the Driver Attention messaging screen may be in English even though the language is set to something else XM may not work After a dead 12V the radio may set to Arabic at each startup Bluetooth contacts might not be able to sync with the vehicle During an OTA the 12V battery may drain Customer might see a screen telling them to return to the dealer After changing the Wi-Fi SSID or password a device may not disconnect If a device is connected on the 2.4Ghz band, nothing will connect to the 5Ghz one, which could show as slow Wi-Fi speeds Customers might have noticed Wi-Fi dropping in certain areas and reconnecting later Customer might see the top of the screen blinking during Android Auto Android Auto may not connect CarPlay audio might momentarily cut out The "Add Phone" button may be grayed out The radio may not start up   V167 Most Notable Improvements:   Outside Air Temperature is incorrect. -You may see a popup message for Engine Shift. (Corvette Only) After changing the exhaust sound they get a popup that "mode change not applied", even though it was. -When changing volume, the volume bar is for Traffic instead of Audio. -(Corvette Only) Improvements to the placement of buttons and text. -If the customer receives the message "Apple CarPlay Could not connect", the cursor might move in the opposite direction than expected when using the control knob. -Android Auto automatically starts playing their music, even though they have turned that off in settings. -Intermittently they have a red OnStar LED with no OnStar function and/or no audio. -The minimum length of the Wi-Fi password was increased to 12 characters. -The popup message "Driver Attention Check, check your mirrors or Super Cruise will shut down" may not have come up on the display when it should have. -Startup animation added for 20th anniversary of the V-Series on Cadillacs. -The Navigation app received location improvements when going under long underpasses. -In the Navigation app there are filters for charging points that the vehicle cannot use.   V164 Most Notable Improvements Most notable improvements contained in this release may include: Apps Intermittently, an “SD Card Removed” message will pop up in the Navigation app. While in the audio app, the radio may stop working. Trailer Tire Pressure sensors may not be learned in the Trailer app. Not being able to return to the home screen while in the Camera app. After an ignition cycle, the radio might go to a black screen or stop working if using Sirius XM. Spotify icon truncated on Audio app.   SXM When changing power modes with the ignition switch, the HVAC pop up might appear. During startup, the radio will show the brand splash screen then go blank. Receiving a confirmation pop-up when changing drive modes. A “Return to Dealer” message may appear on the radio screen. SuperCruise setting toggle may not work. System After an ignition cycle, the radio might go black or stop working if using Sirius XM (SXM). Settings When performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working. After performing a factory reset, the radio may stop working when trying to switch users. When trying to go into the Language section quickly after startup, the radio may stop working. Projection Wireless CarPlay cannot be connected after unpairing another wireless Android Auto device. When the Android Auto screen comes up to connect wirelessly, the screen may freeze if the Cancel button is pressed. Removed the Apple CarPlay Cannot Connect screen when a device fails to pair during the autoconnect process. CarPlay information may not show up in the audio app. Near Field Communications (NFC) chime may be heard when NFC does not work. The Cannot Connect screen does not pop up after the first connection on wireless CarPlay fails. Apple CarPlay is now functional in Guam. Over the Air (OTA) When a software update is cancelled, the downloading logo may still be displayed. Energy When using the Energy app, the radio may stop working. When plugging in the vehicle, the display might show “Now” instead of “Charging Upon Plug In.” Instrument Cluster Voice recognition can be started while on an OnStar or phone call. When downloading contacts, there is a progress bar and circles on the Recents page of the cluster. The temperature on the cluster and the display may be different. After receiving and ending a call on the secondary paired phone, the cluster may get stuck on the phone menu. Bluetooth Intermittent Bluetooth connection loss.

      Front End Rattle

      By AndrewF · Posted

      Looking for help troubleshooting a metallic like front end rattle. Figured I’d see if anyone had thoughts before I schedule an appointment with the dealer.   The rattle is fairly loud and occurs primarily when the front driver side wheel hits a bump, even fairly minor road seams. Sometimes does it when the passenger hits a bump but I don’t believe when the rear hits. Rattle still occurs when foot is pressing brake peddle so I think that rules out the caliper rattle I’ve read about. I’ve also checked the running boards and they are tight.   Most noticeable at slow speeds.    Any insight is appreciated.

      We try to make cruise the coast. It’s where our favorite casino is. I only want to spectate. Never took a car. Always had one to take. I belonged to a club once. Even when I used to drag raced. It was during test and tune. Probably because I’m not a night owl, party person.

      Good looking Olds, and TRX!   I haven't been into car shows either. I'm probably not a convert but I did push myself this year to attend a few select events to challenge some assumptions and try to experience car-based social clubs in a different way. I joined up with the local Hagerty group for some cars/coffee events, group drives. A month ago I showed my '94 Camaro I rescued last fall at Radwood. Had a good time, but, there was some sitting around with the car and that's the part of shows I don't enjoy as much. I prefer to be a spectator, walk the show, grab a burger, go home.   Radwood was the only era-limited event, but where it had strict model year limitations, it made it up in variety. Having Jason Camissa there was also a hoot.   Where I see old 50's car shows, doo-wop and winga dinga music stuff fading out, same with "only" vintage muscle clubs, it seems to be the activity-based clubs/events which are gaining strong popularity. Places where all cars and interests come together.
