Dashboard Wiring Harness Question

I was helping my buddy install some interior LED lights in his 2013 silverado ls last night. I mounted the on/off switch next to the headight control knob left of the steering column. When I was putting the dash back together I noticed 2 wiring harnesses where the trim panel for the headlight control and drivers side air vent connect but only one connection on the removed panel. One is a larger connector that connects to the headlight control and the other is smaller that I couldn't find where it would connect. Can anyone tell me what that smaller harness is for?

 

I'm pretty sure it's for an accessory that his truck doesn't have. It's a very base model '13 Silverado LS V6 RWD EXT Cab. Damn truck doesn't even have a CD player, we will be taking care of that soon. He's drove all day today and hasn't noticed any issues.

Driver Information Center, it's a set of buttons that can be added on with a new a/c vent panel. Shows you avg mpg, trans temp, tpms info, oil life %, and few others as well as control over some vehicle functions

Ok, he has LED interior lights now knock his socks off and install the very reasonably priced (IMO) DIC panel modification. :driving:

He would never look at it. I'm sure of that. When his last fuel pump went out out I told him not to let his tank get below 1/4. I still have to fetch him gas every few months when he runs out on the side of the road.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps.

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
