I've searched high and low, and can't seem to find a guide to the wiring for the BCM and the associated plugs located above the pedals. I have tow mirrors in the mail and I know for the clearance lights a lot of people just run wires to the front of the headlights but that seems a bit too sloppy. Has anyone tapped into anything else, like maybe a switched accessory wire? I also noticed that there are turn signal wires listed as well, are these independent of the yellow parking lights/turn signals that stay on in your headlights? Here's what I found online, but im unsure if it's reliable : Accessory purple/yellow + ignition sw or BCM under driver dash, green 25 pin plug, pin 5 , Parking Lights (-) green/gray - BCM under driver dash, white 26 pin plug, pin 22

Parking Lights (+) purple/gray (L); gray/brown ® + underhood fuse box, blue 58 pin plug, pins G1, F1 Turn Signal (Left) blue/white (F); yellow/blue ® + BCM under driver dash, brown 26 pin plug, pins 2, 1

Turn Signal (Right) green/purple (F); brown/green ® + BCM under driver dash, black 26 pin plug, pins 3, 4

 

Thanks!

I will say this, be careful about adding extra wires onto existing circuits in/out of the BCM. The modules all talk on a high speed communication system called CANBUS, it is pretty sensitive to voltage/load changes that can cause issues.

Have fun, it's 898 pages but likely has what you need. I'd recommend downloading the PDF file so you have a copy if they remove the link from http://www.gmupfitter.com/.

Thanks! I appreciate it. And yes I think I have figured out that there is a wire in my door harness I can use. All I need is a switched hot.

I realize this is an old thread, but I am new to the topic and have a follow-up question. 

 

I've downloaded the manual and gone though it carefully, I think, and have a question on the connectors.  I could not find a description on how to identify a connector on the fuse panel.  For an example, the left side underhood fuse panel is X50A.  The manual tells me that the wire I want is in connector X1, but which connector on the panel is that?

 

The same holds true for the other panels which have more than one connector....how do I sort out which is which?

 

Thanks for the help,

Well I'll start with this. If you are using an actual GM service manual, Build your vehicle, go to Power and Distribution, then Wiring systems and Power management, then Component Locator, Click on X50 Underhood Fuse block - Bottom View.

I have that body builders manual, however the ONE page which i need the most is blank, with a "image not available" printed where the reverse of the X50 fuse panel diagram.  I attempted to fix that by downloading a second version, however the same page is missing.  I don't get it.....almost 900 pages, and the one i need is missing!

    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires. 
    • Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉       
    • I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
