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.

 

The Attached image has the GM Part Number: 13575783. I honestly do not remember the exact cost of the them , but it was worth it to me so that I did not need to tear into my new switch. I hooked the wires up to the Negative of an automotive relay and they work great! Let me know if you need anything else.

and here is how it looks on the factory harness side. Make sure you look at the sheet that is posted earlier in this forum as it tells you which pin is Aux 1 , Aux 2 .. and so on.

I see 5 wires in the package, is that correct? Awesome information, exactly what I needed.

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

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. . 6691d94bf5f83064c0d55d13983acd11.jpg

So just to clarify this post the top type switch is capable of switching a standard relay. The bottom type must utilize the "latching relay" mentioned in the last few posts. I am assuming the actual 4 auxiliary switch has the switches like the top photo and the ones such as the 7 switch with exhaust brakes have the bottom photo type.

No only 4 wires are in there.

Did you have to buy all 4 individually? I ordered 2 from my dealer (thinking I would get 4 in a package) and only got 2 single wires. I need to make sure they didn't rip me off. $9.54 ea is a bit steep for single wires!! I can find them $6.04 online with $12 shipping(ouch)

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 turned out, I think I can do better though. post-153411-0-97064400-1453995226_thumb.jpegpost-153411-0-72529300-1453995237_thumb.jpeg

How do you connect your wiring harness to the garage door openers to work as the switch for the LED bar?

 

You connect the wiring harness like you would normally do. When your done, program your homelink with the remote it comes with. Just like your programming a garage door opener. To be honest, Id rather have a switch hard wired. While driving I have to press the button a few times before the lightbar turns on.

That looks pretty good. So you used a white paint behind the vinyl? Was it a translucent paint or just normal spray paint? I had thought about doing a white vinyl behind the black and layering them. I was worried about the appearance at night, but I think you solved that issue.

I just used normal spray paint. The coats could have been a little bit lighter but I wanted to make sure they were even. I sprayed about 3 coats then sanded it flat with 800 grit. They are slightly darker at night but it is barely noticeable. I didn't test the white vinyl, probably should have but I think it would have been to dark.

    • Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks. 
    • With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece. 
    • are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.
    • Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆
    • I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
