My 110 is dead and I can't get my AA to connect on my 16 2500. The 110 pops a fuse every time I plug anything into it and the USB doesn't read my phone

I purchased my 2016 2500 LTZ Duramax in February. Loved the idea of having the usb ports since my phone wasn't compatible with the wireless charging pad. Ever since I got it, I will plug my Galaxy S5 mini into a usb port and it will start charging for 2 seconds and then it will stop charging for 2 seconds. It stays on this cycle until I unplug it, simply because it isn't charging my phone. I don't want to transfer music or anything else because I do that via Bluetooth. It does the same thing with any of the usb ports that I try. Are they really not made for just charging, or is there something I am missing?

Correct. You need to use the cigarette lighter to charge. That USB port is only for data transfer, not for charging. Most smart phones now require a good amount of power to charge em and the USB port can only accommodate so much power.

Anyone fix this issue outside of the dealership? And find replacements that work well if needed? From what I see online the 2 usb ports below the dash are for data only but they would not allow my phone to project onto the dash display. The usb port inside the center console does work. 

 

I just purchased a 2016 high country and it appears all the ports below the dash in the center console are dead. Not sure if they are connected to the ones inside the center console or not? I also tried the 110v plug to charge some camera batteries and it did not work. The charger did not have a ground thought so maybe that is why? I have not tested the 12v plugs yet.

 

 

Looking for some help  dont think the dealer is going to fix for free a 4 year old truck with 50k miles on it. I checked 1 fuse on the passenger side that is a 15A but it is ok.

Just got the truck on the 31st and the center console usb ports are dead. Anyone else experience this?

 

Just dropped it off at the dealer. Will update when I get it back

I'm dealing with this right now with my 2016 chevrolet silverado 1500 custom. I've tried changing the fuse, disconnecting the battery and even bought a new one and it still doesn't work. What did the dealer say was the problem  ?

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
