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

These oem aux switches are a on-off only right is there any that are a momentary to use for a air horn?

No. But I open mine up and was able to make one to do momentary

Would like to share some pictures of where I ended up putting my aux switches at. I have one before picture. The rest is after. I didn’t like the idea of the switches being low on the knee panel. 
 

so I will be rewiring and hardwiring the full kit in. Cause this kit is really made for 2019 and up. My truck is a 2017 2500hd Denali diesel. So all my factory uplifted switches are spoken for all factory features.

Hi there, I’ve been working on a comprehensive video on all of this with part numbers and explanations, diagrams etc. you have a few options that are pretty easy since you don’t have adjustable pedals. I just got my new X50A (under hood fuse box) in the mail and found a new relay for a second fuel pump. The reason I bought it was for the four AUX/Upfitter relays. This would be perfect for your application. If you can hang in there a few more weeks I’ll have everything complete and post the video.

Tinkeringfox, did you ever post a youtube video on this (as referenced above?) thanks..

Hello. I’m a new guy here in the forum. I have a 2015 and a 2016 Silverado 1500 WT’s. I am installing a dual battery system to run a power sprayer rig setting in the bed, and I am looking to install the GM switch with 4 auxiliary switches to turn power on and off to the sprayer. I noticed that the J block behind the parking brake pedal for the switches is not there, but there are flat pins sticking up from where it would be. Probably a silly question but I’m a novice at this stuff, but does that mean if I get the J block the wiring for the J block is already there to the respective relays, etc.? Or would I have to run the wires through to the relays and fuse boxes? I know the wires from the J block to the switches come with it.

 

 Thanks in advance.

OK.  got a few switch banks and combined switches to match my options.  Now I've got to pin out the connector to figure out what's what.  Once I know which pins cover which functions I'll be able to hook everything up correctly.  It was a real nightmare getting the switches out of the housing.  My final configuration is all momentary switched with a board from GM part number 23145202.  It originally had pedals, stability, cargo lights, park assist, lane keep, hill assist, and exhaust brake.  I don't have lane keep, hill assist or exhaust brake as options on my truck, so I replaced those with three aux switches.  I think it's going to be a bit of work to figure out the pin outs.  It looks like every version varies some, but I'm hoping that there's some commonality at least with the options I do have.  That way those items should work just like before when i plug in the new switch bank.  I just have to figure out which pins go to the other three switches now and if there are led returns.  I know the exhaust brake is going to be on the smaller connector on the back, so it's just aux 1 and 2 I need to identify.

I'm hoping the pin out looks like this

LED Backlight Dimming Control

I hope this powers the indicator LEDs on the three aux switches too

I have the same switch layout with pedal adjustment, traction controll,cargo lights and park assist and I want to add 3 aux switches. I know I need to order another switch set and combine them but do I need to order any other wiring harnesses or anything else to make this work?

Just Courious but does anyone have any experience with a Nilight 6 gang Switch panel comes with its own little fuse block as well.

Not personally, but a buddy of mine installed one.  He likes it.  Hardest part was feeding the cable through the firewall into the cab.  Most of the wiring is done for you, which is REALLY nice.  No wire crimping, if you don't want to do it.

I Just completed a breakdown of the switch bank. I have a 2016 1500 Z71 with the three switch panel, TCS, Bed Light, Hill Descent Control. I bought two additional switch banks and opened them to create one that would work for me. Now I have one working bank with TCS, Bed, Light, Hill Descent control, and 4 aux switches.

@rock1500 It took a bit of work to get them disassembled and put back together. If anyone is interested they can shoot me a PM and I would be happy to look into what it would cost to do. I wasn't sure if there would be a market for it. There is some soldering and de-soldering of some micro components to make it work like it should.

Heck, if you can replicate this on a regular basis, I'd buy it in a heartbeat!

@MikeBMW

Are you looking for the same set up I had. Convert from the three switch to the seven switch? I had tcs, bed lights, hill decent and converted it to those three with 4 aux switches?

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I guess no surprise my guesses were wrong !, at least now I know if I ever happen to see it grayed out in my own truck as to what is going on.    I never happened to catch my truck with it grayed out, it seemed every time I would test to see if there was an update it never found anything and yet more than once I would check to see if there was an update and there was nothing, then a day later or even that same morning I would drive to town and after more than one engine shut down in town as I did my errands it would pop up that there is an update now ready to install and the only place I have a connection to the internet is at home by wifi so its not as if it grabbed the download while driving. I don't trust these new vehicles due to all the crap they can decide to do while sitting for some days not running and run the battery down so most of the time if I know the truck will sit for a few days I plug in the battery tender I have mounted under the hood and so the only time the truck must have downloaded software was when it was sitting in the garage where the signal is awful but I have that tender plugged in and somehow it managed to download it. I honestly detest all this crap, way to easy to leave a person stranded.    Since I don't trust any of it I don't do the install of the already downloaded software until I get home and sometimes have even sat in the truck to watch what its doing as its going through the process to its conclusion as its not like it is set up that it will tell you the next time you fire up the engine that the update that was initialed actually installed or installed properly. Yes I can go into the updates and see the list. After I go through the install where I feel its safe to do so in case it breaks down as a result, I will plug in the battery tender after the fact to recharge as I don't know how much power its taking just to do the install and that can take a while for it to install.

      Thanks for the reply. All settings were correct and the engine was off, as it was supposed to be. It turned out to be something simple. I took a drive for about an hour. I must have had a low battery without knowing it. The voltage gauge on the display looked ok. At the end of my drive, I shut off the engine and the update prompt came up and it updated normally. It’s ironic because one of the features of the update is a reduction of battery drain.
