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.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
