Wasn't that bad.

 

First open your console lid. With it open, now you will have to pull up and back on the top grey plastic piece that goes around the entire console which is also connected to the cluster part that holds all the 12V and power supplies. Once you pull that off you will have access to the back of the plugs. You can pinch 2 prongs that remove the 12V outlets. Remove whichever one you want.

Remove the socket from the plastic housing and your switch will fit right in the plastic housing piece.

Clip back in and you are good to go.

Just tried it and Worked like a charm. Thank you for the info!!! Greatly appreciated.

No problem.

 

Side note: If the switch is a tad loose, take your switch out and put 1 or 2 rounds of electrical tape around your switch then slide it back in. Will fit like

At least that's how mine was.

Looking to see where everyone is mounting their aux switches for light bars on the 2014+ GMC's. I have the trailer package so the trailer brake is in the way on the left side.

 

I have a couple cubes and a bar I want to put behind my grill but would like to have an idea of where the switch can go.

 

Anyone mount a switch in their center console?

How about on your keychain with the door remote?

 

Single or multi-channel remote control 12v 10A relays are available on EBay for less than $10. Channel A controls the LED spots on the sports bar and Channel B the LED floods behind the grille. Plus you can control the lights from outside the vehicle.

 

One of many on EBay:

I got the 6 Gang Switch Panel, OFFROADTOWN Electronic Relay... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZ7C5XJ/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_api_glt_fabc_1N1B9CGVAB8HRJ12M383?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 

I mounted the relay box and made the connections in the engine bay. They light up green when off and yellow when on. Works greats for what I wanted and way cheaper than some of the others I’m seeing out there

      I'm also waiting to see if they confirm Apple CarPlay, because I'm not interested in subscription fees just to use the hardware I already purchased.    In closeups it looks like it gets the Colorado/Canyon center screen based headlight controls which I despise. They also appear to lose all the hard switches for functions like seat heating and cooling, parking sensors, lane control, traction control, etc. which means they're all screen/menu based, so verdict is out on how well those will work with gloves or wet/dirty hands.  Admittedly they don't show the left knee area of the dash, but I don't see hard switches for locker control on the ZR2, and the "mode" switch appears to eliminate the rotary dial with a quick way to access tow/haul.  My 2021 has had multiple screen failures and at times the screen just locks up, goes black, or reboots while driving even after replacement, so loosing the ability to access many of these functions, especially lighting control would be pretty frustrating.   There aren't enough photos or detailed trim details other than one mention of "available microfiber trim" to confirm, but the use of microfiber on the seats and or center console is a deal killer for me.  Just because you drive a ZR2 or High Country, doesn't mean you don't work out of it, and that material is difficult at best to keep clean and looking decent.   Lexus and several other brands are using it on seats, dash, and door panels now, I assume as a cost and weight saving measure,  and it looks horrible 1-2 years into ownership.  I see what appears to be piano black on the doors and center console in some photos, which also has no place in ANY vehicle in my opinion because it mars and scratches too easily, especially for a truck.  Will be interesting to see what GMC comes out with when the Sierra is released as far as materials go.

      Im a fan.  Simply moving the screen up helps the look of the interior.  I feel like GM dropped the ball on the current gen having the screen not at the same level as the top of the gauge cluster.  The GMCs look better with the vents above the screen to close that gap.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I hear you, its just not something one would even think of that the new oil in the container isn't filtered to a spec one would expect it to be.    As to a passenger vehicle theme and the maintenance requirement to meet to ensure a warranty is honored, these days with claims of life time transmission fluid on some models and the limited amount of oil changes that would bring one to the end of the factory warranty, that sells vehicles for those that like to hear "easy care maintenance free", but the manufacturer certainly knows different as to what that more than likely means for the longevity of some of the components if given that minimum spec maintenance. Then again I imagine there are a fair number of people that really don't care as long the vehicle gets them a certain number of years down the road because they are the type that want the next new thing, new and improved ... more bells and crap etc on the new one on the show room floor. Manufacturers have learned the phycological game to entice the customer out of their money !

      Why soooooo many screens? Shall we just replace the windshield with a large plasma?!?!? Besides that I like the looks. And they added back the additional door cubbies,    No SS???
