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.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
