AUX switch install

[TinkeringFox]

Unfortunately you likely don’t have the wiring you need. There is a pass through nipple on your firewall boot specifically for passing upfitter wiring through. Stealing power from an unused accessory source like power seats, inverter power, ect. might be a viable option. Try to find an option that you don’t have and have no plans to upgrade to. You may be able to source power this way from a fused source.

Hi Guys,

 

I am impressed with some of your projects and your expertise.  I am not so comfortable figuring out how wires should be installed and really appreciate step-by-step instructions at the level of a 6th grader.  I recently upgraded my 2019 Silverado 1500  LD mirrors to towing mirrors with turn signals.  Got it done because of the help of Mr. Gamboa's harness and instructions. Highly recommended.

 

I would like to add a 30 inch LED light bar to the front of my truck.  I would like to use the GM 23145158 switch bank (stolen picture attached). Currently my stock switch bank has only "traction control" & "cargo lights."  I do not want to re-label the AUX switches, just want to wire a LED relayed wiring harness to AUX 1 to operate the LED bar.

 

I would appreciate hearing from you if you can get down to my level.

 

Selo

I'm seeing a lot of guys that want to add these switches are having some trouble.

 

To the guys with ONLY the dome light and traction control switches from the factory be interested in my building a kit for them that they only have to install it into there trucks?

I tried on my own but ended up drinking the whole 12 pack and said I need to buy something ..  2014 Silverado with the stock traction control/ cargo light .. upgraded to traction control cargo light and 4 aux .. already installed new switch and correct wires in slots 10-14 now what .. Please help

Here’s a relay box for the switch boards with “traction control, cab light, and 4x aux switches” has 5 spots for relays. the 5th relay with trigger with the high beams and Turn on the 2 relays I am using for front lighting.

So the wiring goes from the box to the lights that is the easy part for me. The part that I am having trouble with is from the relay box to the switch. 

[TimmyWeekend]

Which wires ... should be 4 wires on your relay box .. one for switch . One for light , and two powers  that’s  what I understand  I’m having a relay box made and when I have it in hand ill post pictures and maybe can explain it better ... 

[Willswilly]

This is the plug on the back of the switches. Where do I tie into the wiring?

[Willswilly]

Also where are you getting your relay pack. I would like to order one. 

[TimmyWeekend]

I’m thinking around the spares battery compartment .. 2014 Silverado .. email Smcgillis10  he is making mine, nothing wrong with supporting a fellow Chevy owner and yes that is where those tiny wires plug into I bought mine directly from Chevy a little pricey I think it’s slots 10-14 but you can double check it’s written somewhere on this thread

does anyone have the diagrams showing which fuses under hood need to be relocated / installed for this aux switches?

I have a 2016 2500HD WT that came with the switches, I bought the wire harness from GM and plugged it in under the parking brake and ran it out thru the firewall.

 

seems the GM upfitter website where the pic I need  is down?

 

thanks

The relays and fuses should go into the fuse block in the passenger side of the dash.

The switch control the ground side of a relay. You need to have the relay coil hooked to power and the switch will connect it to ground Turing it on.

So i know this is a month old or so but people are still gonna come here and take a look at how this stuff installs, as i did 3 months ago. got around to filling in that list of switches and P/Ns on Page 1. Best I could do, still have some missing... but i hope it helps somebody else when the see it. Cheers and thanks to everybody still on this page posting all the good information. for the record, the Bold dictates the large (wide) keys and regular shows keys that are short/skinny.

I also bought the auxiliary switches for my 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500. I hooked one wire from one of the switches up to the 86 terminal on the relay. The 85 terminal is connected to the positive post of the battery. When I flip all of the switches, nothing happens. Did this happen to you?
