i bench tested "my donor" s48a switch panel with a computer power supply (12vdc) to verify the pins and test the dpdt relays. i forgot to take pictures of everything when i actually had it setup

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

i found that these relays work flawlessly for my setup (thank you @Vuk ) and i went back to my original setup with some rearranging of the term blocks etc. just waiting for my 3rd latching dpdt relay to come in the mail and ill be done!

Very clean; I like to document things myself because it makes your life so much easier down the line.

 

I wish there were a few spots like the AUX battery ? Mine is taken by the actual battery so I had to tuck my latching relays under the dash - it's not too crowded in there.

so then i tried this 6 channel latching relay because of my enclosure size, but i had issues doubling up channels with one trigger

 

 

 

One of mine has an issue turning off. What was the Cng button turns on fine, but wants to stay on. The Park assist turns off fine. Using 2ch latching relay. Saw in another thread that you sometimes need a 2nd switch to make it work  right.

I need a little help with wiring the relay boards to make sure they turn off, as they should.  Right now I have a 2 channel running 2 switches.  I'm going to use one board for each switch.  How do you run the 2nd channel to break the latch? I have ground to com,  no is output. Do I run 2nd ch differently?

There are two types of latching circuits:

 

1. set/reset that require two buttons where one specific button is designated for setting (turning on), and the other one is designated for resetting (turning off)

2. toggling that require one button

 

If you don't want further complications, you should utilize the toggling type. I am looking at your previous post with the Amazon item description and I think that is the toggling type. Do you have the recommended resistors wired in the circuit? If you have even tried the board without those resistors it may be damaged.

Oh I see now, I failed to see that you only need series resistors if you use a different power supply for the external trigger circuitry.

 

One board that you've shown should be enough for two switches - the two channels should be independent. You set a pulse on the CH1 trigger input, and the relay turns on; you set another pulse on the CH1 trigger input, and the same relay turns off; same holds for CH2. If the board doesn't operate this way then it may be faulty.

Thanks. I have another one on the way. I'll try it. I thought there had to be a 2nd trigger to de-latch the relay. It works fine, sometimes,  sometimes doesn't.

Is it possible to use the 30A terminals on the upfitter block in the driver side footwell if you don't have the switches, or is the necessary wiring simply not there? I have a 2016 Silverado LTZ, I"m looking to add some accessories inside the cab and thought I may be able to easily pull accessory or RAP from this location.

Here is a link to a fully populated plug. The accessory pins are the perfect place to grab power for a CB, outlets, ect.

The 30 amp pins are coming from the X50A upfitter relay outputs (terminal 87). Without those relays, and without those relays wired back to the X61A they will not have power.

That's actually one of the harnesses I'm looking at and one of the devices I'm looking to power is an amateur radio. With a test light I can locate constant and switched power, but the (4) 30A pins appears to be dead under all conditions. Is there any way to make them hot, preferably as RAP, or are they useless without the switch bank? Just trying to avoid running wire through the firewall if I have all the power I'd need right there.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
