For those of you who have this finished: where did you go through your firewall? Did you use the e break grommet on the floor? I would like to get into the engine compartment but can't figure out the safe/accessible spots.

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 was planning to go this route but hopefully without the hassle of removing the fuse box. It is for an older model but on the drivers side, you can see a spot to pass some wires through.

Link didn't work for me, but you can run it through the same grommet as the rest of the loom. You don't have to remove the fuse box, just the cover. Pretty easy really.

 

Ok time for a little update. I know I am incredibly slow and apologize for that.

So I ordered this relay from eBay for around $4 thinking it would be the same. Not so much! It turns out this was not a latching relay. a34495ed6ffdfa2f0949f27624d8d534.jpg

So then I went back to the drawing board. I just knew I could find a 4 channel latching relay and I finally came across one from Amazon, and it was even on prime. d00614f3351b611b78187d4553987d07.jpg

I got everything hooked up and each of the first 3 relays trigger with the pedal button, park assist button, and lane departure button. For the Pedal button I ended up putting the pedal up and pedal down wires into the trigger hookup. I don't have a picture but I got everything in a small plastic case and added my ground wires to the output so the indicator lights work as well. fdd0a656a4ab9c3a671bc4686a5df5c7.jpgUp next is getting my relay box wired and mounted under the hood. I bought this box from Amazon. I plan on using the 2 additional relays to turn the headlights off and just have some rgb halos as daytime running lights.

Nice find! I was looking for one that had multiple relays but mainly wanted to test the theory. Maybe I will switch to those later. Nice setup!

 

 

Someone just said: push button it turns on, push again it turns off. So I would say it is just pins 4 and 5.

I would just do those 2 as well

Last question hopefully: did you tie the hot wire to a source that is ignition based or direct to the battery. I think I need something ignition based to run my halos or i will have to turn them off every time. If you tied to the battery battery direct have you come across an ignition based wire to tap?

I connected the latching relays to ignition power and the other relays are wired directly to the battery. When I turn off the truck everything switches off. I connected the power and ground in the location where they show the connector for the upfitter addition.

Where exactly is that? The main fuse box under the hood or is there somewhere else?

Arkie, do you have links to the latching relays and box you found on amazon?

Relay box:

I will say that if you actually want 6 relays, the last one is very hard to find. Hint: Search for "RTT7121"

Or are you meaning in the ICEM panel? Pin 8 of terminal 1 I guess according to the upfitter bulletin. If this correct did you buy that terminal connector or just connect to that pin?

In the IECM (X61A junction block) referenced in bulletin 110e. I used pin 10 for ground and pin 11 for ign power. I used the smaller type female spade connectors with heat shrink and just plugged them directly onto the pins on the socket. Edited by AZelkhunter

Thanks for the update, I will definitely be using these. Looks easier than trying to mess with the fuse box. I was looking at the same bulletin just the updated version (110k). Pin 8 says accessory voltage and 11 is run/crank ignition voltage. So I guess either will work just depending on when I want them on. I just need to confirm 8 will work first.

Since I was looking at your link I noticed also suggestion items and one was a tap fuse adapter. I tried buying a set and they ended up to big for what the truck uses for their small fuses.

 

Do you or anyone know which one would be the correct tap fuse adapter for the small / miniature fuses on our trucks?

Fuses are not my thing. I did buy some for that relay box and ended up getting the small ones. When I looked again they were "mini blade fuses". I haven't compared them to the ones in our trucks but I bet that is them. You can search mini fuse tap and see several on Amazon. It may be worth a trip to AutoZone or something though.

I found this terminal. It looks the same as the one on the wire part. Anyone got any thoughts on this?

 

I don't know that it fits but I think I'm going to start here before I drop $40 plus for the gm oem.

EDIT: Found them cheaper here: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/962885-1/A105237CT-ND/3440492

 

I ordered them. I will post a follow up when I check the fit.

No. I believe they were just a few days. Definitely less than a week.

      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.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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 😆

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.
