I have a GPS plugged into the accessory power and would like it to turn off when I turn off my truck but the accessory plug stays hot after the truck is turned off. Is there a way to tell the truck to turn off the power to the accessory power plug when the truck is turned off? I was hoping there is a way to do this without rewiring anything.

 

Thanks

I have a 2015 GMC Sierra SLE without navigation built in.

Do you have a floor console? I had the same issue so I purchased a 4 way accessory jack extender and plugged it into the switched jack inside the floor console.

I routed the wire so it sits under the cup holder.

I plug the GPS into that and have three additional spots for other accessories that will be switched.

I don't know if that will work with a jump seat console.

Thanks smcgillis10. I think you mean that I should move the fuse that is in position 12 to position 49. I do not see how to move the fuse. When I remove the fuse from position 12 I don't see any way to move it.

there are 3 pins in that position. you either put it to the top set or the bottom. one side is always on for accessory power and the other is switched..

 

let say the three pins are labeled 1 / 2 / 3.

 

when the fuse is on pins 1/2 the power to your 12volt sockets are switched.

and when the fuse is on pins 2/3 the power is always on.

 

if i need to i will take pictures of my truck to show you what i mean.

My 2015 Sierra may be different for your truck. When I pull off the fuse I don't see any other way to reconnect it... BTW how do I post a picture. I would post a picture to show you want my fuse box looks like. It is slightly different than yours.

 

Thanks for the input.

The fuse for the RAP is here on my 2014 silverado. You can see the blade that the fuse slides onto. Not sure if they changed that with the 15s can't find any information about the 15s and the rap being able to switch the fuse. They might have done away with it. f1d5bf1d9d9959048f2704684a909484.jpg

That worked. The actual fuse numbers are 10 and 11. If the 50 amp fuse is in position 11 the outlet is always on if it is in position 10 it is switched with the key. Thanks for the help with this.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
