Sorry to start a whole new thread, but can anyone tell me where under hood fuse block X50A is located?

 

And yes, I have looked under the hood (smartasses).

Driver side behind the extra battery tray.

I looked under there and it looks like this. I'll dig deeper in that area. Thanks!

I wonder if it's on the firewall or beside the main block that I showed, haven't looked for another fuse block under the hood. I may check it out tomorrow.

Are you sure it's under the hood? Could also be under the dash with all of those harness'. It's no telling with a vehicle with all these electronics lol. Scares me because I'm not exactly a wiring guy unless it's simple so I worry about when I need to start fixing some of it.

I'm actually not sure it's under the hood. The electrical manual I'm looking in calls it an under hood fuse block. I guess it could be anywhere. I just glanced under the hood and didn't find it right away. I'll dig in more after work tomorrow.

And the consumer site doesn't even have all 2014 models, nevermind 2015 for our newest members.

 

OP-

 

The GM upfitter manual says "In the engine compartment, top left near the inner fender". I don't know if that's from the driver seat or from standing in front of the truck. If its from standing in front I'd bet it may be near/under the battery.

 

Edit- nope it is from sitting inside. See page 226:

Just a hint- After opening the manual, I use control F (or command F on a Apple) to open the finder window and I searched for the X50A fuse block and kept clicking next.

Thanks! That is incredibly helpful. I'll try to find it tomorrow.

Good luck getting that off. I still have not wrapped my side vents because I'm not willing to pull any harder on that panel. I'll get the dealer to show it to me next time.

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
