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?

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

Need some help,

 

I have the cargo light, T/C, and 4 aux switches. I have routed the buttons out to the engine bay. I have connected a... relay box (one relay box per switch). Currently each relay (12V, 30A) is set up as such

 

Battery -> fuse-> relay pin 30

switch(aux) -> relay pin 85

light bar -> relay pin 87

Ground - > relay pin 86

 

with these connected as such the lights on my switches turn on and do not turn off no matter what. 

When I push the switches the light bar does not turn on. I have switched things around but have gotten nothing. 

 

any insight would be appreciated.

Did you hook it up to aux 1? If that doesn’t work, try a different switch. The aux switches are ground controlling. You need to hook the 85 pin to the positive post of the battery, then the switch to the 86 terminal.

Thanks. That helps out. I am just going to tie the pedal up and down together as the switch for that button. That sounds reasonable. It won't have an indicator but I plan on using it for RGB halos that I want on all the time. But I still want the capability to turn them off. I will use the NO function on the latching relay and the button push will turn them off.

I know this is old but hope you get it lol.  I did this about 5 years ago and only used first 2 aux for lights.  Now i want to use another and i was reading this over again and I am wondering if i did the indicator lights wrong.  I do have it all working I use one latching relay for the relay to the light bar and another for the indicator light.  So thats 2 for each switch. I have 4 hooked up now.  This does work,  But i see you say here to hook up the indicator to NO function and it will turn on and off with the switch .  Does this work for you?  I would help me out as I would not have to add another relay just rewire what I have

I just tested an Upfitter switch with a CNG button (23146445) and it seems to be identical to the one with TC,Cargo,Exhaust Brake (23145163?). The output and indicator input use the Exhaust Brake plug (X2). If you were to use this CNG switch, or the Exhaust Brake switch inyour application you would need to remove terminal/wire 4 from the X1 connector (main plug) and swap into pin 4 on the X2 connector (exhaust brake plug). The terminals are a different size so a cut and splice would be necessary or just replacing the terminal. This would allow the use or triggering of HDC through the Output pin from CNG or Exhaust Brake. You would just pop on an HDC cap in place of CNG, then move the CNG cap to say Aux 4 to use as your slip tank Trigger.

How can i get pin 4 & 5 to work like AUX 1 & 2 did?  The exhaust brake doesnt work like them.  There is 12v+ initially, then when hit it it goes to zero volts.  I dont know what CNG is but all i need it to do is turn on a latching relay when pressed, then turn off the relay when pressed again.

So i guess no one is watching this thread anymore???

I’m watching but I have no idea what you need to do to achieve what you’re looking for.

lol, well thanks for replying... I dont know what to do, Its like these two switches are reversed polarity for what their function used to be I suppose.  But if i reverse the polarity to the harnness (which i am only using it for AUX 4)  it may screw up the indicator light which is working fine.

 

What i need is something to reverse the polarity before i get to the latching relay, because everything other than that works fine.  I thought there were others here that got the exhaust brake swithc working for something else other than that function...

   I don't have any pics of mine handy (not on my usual computer, with my vehicle info), but I know some guys have put rocker switch panels into their roof consoles.  Even the big rockers like these:

This style of switch has a rear depth of 1.43".    So there is at LEAST that much clearance up there.   But you may have to bend the spades a bit to accommodate the female terminals on your wires.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I can't say I have ever heard of someone getting that type of mileage out of a set of tires even though they rotated on a regular basis but without a doubt if the front end gets wear and those tires are no longer able to track straight it scrubs them off, and driving style and road surface make a huge difference as well.    However that is not what prompted me to comment as it was the new tire theme of sitting in storage waiting to be used scenario. I am sure some tires can last for quite a while in storage if its not too warm and out of the sunlight but unfortunately some tires the way they their rubber compound is formulated they can age and dry out even in a reasonably decent storage location. My brother ran into this maybe three years ago when he was looking at the tires that were on his dually truck and a combination of wear on the rear ones and noticing that the front tires had some cracks around the sidewall of the tire not far from the bead but he had replaced only the front ones not long ago with 2 of the remaining 6 he had left from the initial two sets of takeoffs he had all bought at the same time .... 10 years ago ! ( the years fly by, a truck that only gets used a bit to haul a camper during the summer and sits in a shed for a large part of the year ). That second set of 6 tires, two he had put on the front prior like I said and they had very little wear but those cracks were now present. So we go into the shed where the other 4 tires had been stored all this time and every one of them had the same cracks in the sidewalls and so in the end it amounted to throwing away 6 brand new but 10 year old takeoff tires into the dump that he got a deal on at a tire shop because they aged out. They were a Ford factory equipment BFG tire and those tires did not age well compared to some tires I've seen far older then that and did not show that type of aging. True, they always say up here anyway that 7 years is sort of a limit for age by rights, we don't have the intense prolonged heat that many of you have down in the states that just cook tires and depends on where the vehicle sits when not in use. GB, another words maybe had you bought a set of tires to store it would have been fine as long as you used them up fast enough but there are no guarantees when it comes to rubber, tires or of that other type stored in some guys wallets 😆

      Open Door Chimes When Key is Out

      By Head South · Posted

      2020 2500 HD...I had some trouble getting the key into the ignition switch but went in fine after applying some extra effort. Since then, the door chimes when open when the key is out of the ignition. Also, when I lock the doors with the switch on the arm rest, the driver door locks but then unlocks. (I can lock everything fine with the fob) The message on the little screen displays the "Engine Hours"...kinda weird.   I'm guessing something happened to the ignition switch and it thinks the key is still in there. I unplugged the batteries for 20 minutes, no change. There are a number of videos on YouTube but nothing I can find that address this specific issue. Ideas appreciated, thank you.

      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.

      What did you do to your "other" car (aka musclecar) today

      By KARNUT · Posted

      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.
