Just got them. And my truck wasn't fitted for the switch so the wires aren't there. So the other post about the blue/green wires don't apply to all trucks. Only trucks with the option installed. So I soldered two connectors onto the board to get a connection point. Each connector has two wires and each wire will go to a different switch and relay. Pins 10-14 are for he aux switched. I'll post a pin out.

There's many different switch panels. But be aware the only ones you can hook a relay up to have the latch switches.

These.

The momentary switches will only be used for small voltage actions controlled by the BCM.

These are momentary (the same kind the remote your tv uses) very low amp. .

I'm kind of confused, Can I use this aux switches to turn on a light bar?

Yes. Have to use the aux switches to operate relays. Hook the negative side of the relay coil up to the switch.

Okay I have a 2014 Silverado 1500 LT. And I bought and installed the switch. Where do I find the relay so I can connect my light bar to it? Also I'm confused on how to install it. Thanks

I was able to locate the GM Part number for the pins that fit into the harness that plugs into the back of the Aux switches. I will post pictures and part numbers tomorrow. I found that this would be better as it uses the factory harness and I don't need to solder on the inside of the switch. The wires would then just connect to the Negative side of a relay coil.

For most of you you don't want to put holes in your new truck. I have a solution for you. If you haven't seen it already.

On some of these trucks (ie work models) you can get upfitter switches that go where your traction control and cargo light switches go.

Trucks with only "traction control" & "cargo lights" can use this. ( if your truck has bed lights or a park assist it won't work.)

Looks like this the empty switch is just a blank. (Does nothing)

This switches are ground controlling. So you can hook them up to the negative of a relay. Mine are on the way and I'll take/show how it works.

Unless your truck was equipped with it the factory delays and wires won't be there. Have to add it all in.

Does the blank switch actually have a switch behind it or is it fixed?

 

My truck has the bed/cargo lights, traction control, and hill assist. I'm wondering if the blank could be configured. If not I could go without the hill assist. I don't really see a need to turn that off. Anyone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about that. I also think that if it is on when I swap switches out that it would stay on.

Do you still have the part number for this? This is how I was wanting to approach this too. Just run the four wires to a relay panel, then I can wire the relays to my devices.

Yes I do, and sorry guys that I never posted the pics I promised. I had a lot come up and forgot. I do not have the numbers and pics on me right now. But as soon as I get home tonight I will put them up for you

I just posted this on colton_m's original post...

I think that I have found a solution for using the OEM Momentary switches to control accessories such as light bars. I have decided to use the 23145202 switch as I have the adjustable pedals. This switch gives me 3 open slots to use. The issue with the switches is that being momentary they will not operate a standard relay. Upon searching I found these latching relay boards that come from China and cost $3 each. I picked up four of them to try, they are 12V boards that use a low input, so when the input is grounded, the relay activates and latches, until the input received another low signal. I assembled 3 of them in a case made a harness for them.

I am modifying the switch to have the correct icon too.
