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?

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

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.

I have upfitter switches peddles/tc/cargo lamp/park assist/ldw/hdc/running boards and I configured my switches swapping out hdc with an aux . The hdc (aux) is a non functional switch no wire present I would like to have it function as an on and off switch how can I go about achieving this

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:

 

AMAZON ROCKER SWITCH PANEL

 

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.

      Video processing module location

      By twgraham · Posted

      Can someone tell me where the video processing module is in a 2023 Silverado? I'm getting conflicting results that it's in the front passenger area or the rear passenger area behind the seat.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes I agree, its what amounts to free advertising to let people know about his UOA testing company, and not that there is anything wrong with that but certainly that is a motivator for putting out videos about the science of oil as well as other topics such as oil and air filtration etc. The interesting part I found with his last video is not only the physics behind the reason for the varying wear due to a diesels working torque range causing more bearing load and that higher viscosity oil is of benefit, it was also that the chemistry behind the GM Dexos 0W-20 and the Mobil Dexos licensed 0W-20 are far enough apart that its showing up with a difference in wear even though the two oils are matched in viscosity and in that comparison viscosity was not having the finger pointed at it.    There are a few youtubers out there or one anyway that I have watched a bit of who has gone through the pains of accessing various countries manuals for a certain engine platform and while in the US/Canada it may say use 0W-20 or what have you for some Toyota product, in some other countries it sings a very different tune for the very same engine with the typical traditional oil viscosity/ambient temperature charts to help choose which oil viscosity is correct for the conditions the vehicle will be used in and in some cases its taken an engine in a US manual that states only use 0W-20 as per warranty coverage and yet that same engine in certain other countries may have up to a 15W-40 etc oil option that meets the spec. Another words the guy who is driving through Death Valley or Phoenix and south weather at 120f is often being fed a line of bs by the US system that has forced vehicle companies to restrict the warranty to a specific low viscosity oil for anterior reasons as well as the long drain interval suggestions.    Thankfully youtube is free ( yet anyway ) for viewers to sift through information and of course comes with the good and the bad ( truth and lies ) and we can choose to turn off/not watch what a person finds is bs or just not interested in the topic.

      By Atlas · Posted

      No doubt... But, as someone who doesn't pay for his services, but who has provided a few views/clicks on his Youtube platform, the data around the Mobil oil testing I think does have some value including to "freeloaders" like me.   A lot of what he's doing is likely showing the OE's work in their oil selection, something that many of us had kind of assumed was true all along, a good balance of both excellent protection and efficiency.

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.
