I did 

I do pin the door harnesses for the dimming circuits. Maybe double check continuity there?

On the 18-pin mirror connector, pin 2 (yellow) goes to pin 5 on the 41-Pin door jamb connector. Then check pin 16 (violet) to pin 6 on the 41-Pin door jamb connector.

Thanks Guys! Spent lots of time reading the Upfitter Manual to ensure I've covered all the circuits needed across all connectors to make this work. Gotta love that feeling when you put everything ba

Just installed my rear view, and having same issue. Everything works perfectly except for the side mirror not dimming. I did double check the pinout and I’m pretty certain everything was according to the diagram. Have not dug back into door to check continuity though. May do it tomorrow.

Also check the back side of the X61A Junction where the circuits leave and go to the door jamb side. Also note, that the reference drawings I included are screenshots of their connectors and they are in mirror image. Not sure why so double check the landing on all pins to their slot location.

I will have to shoot you a PM Phil to get this going. I bought my DL3’s and harness from you.... might as well take advantage of your harness and get this going!

Gonna pick this up instead of starting a new thread. I have the  auto dim rear view mirror. I want that to work. Not interested in changing the side mirrors I like the factory cheapies. But the auto dim rearview....I gotta have it. 

 

What do I need just for this? Thanks in advance for the help.

Just add power to it. Pin # 2 of the mirror needs 12v to it.

kinda what I thought but best to hear from an expert. thanks Phil!!!

Keep in mind that there is a backup lamp circuit... that when added, will disable the dimming when in reverse. This is to ensure your view is not compromised when reversing.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
