Any more info on this?

Got it from the website Wish for like $3 or $4 bucks. Cut a circle out in the center piece and it fits perfect. Plugged in the USB port inside the console for now.

what screw did you need to replace?

If you look at both of my photos at the bottom of the holder There is a single wing nut screw. I had to replace that with a smaller Allen screw to clear the vent knob.

Go to Amazon or similar and order these:

1N4004 400V 1A Axial Lead Silicon Rectifier Diodes

 

You only need one really but order 25 as it's just as cheap once you take into account shipping if you try to order just one.

Plus if you bend or break the one diode, you have back ups.

 

 

Then you'll look under your dash above your gas pedal. You'll see a bunch of small power blocks inserted into a larger one.

You want to locate the BROWN one.

At the top you see a release latch. Go ahead and push it in and pull the small BROWN electrical block out of the larger one.

Twist it around so it's oriented with the release latch up.

 

Using the diagram in the picture I've attached, locate pin/cable slot #10. It's obviously 2 slots over from #8 that's marked on the diagram. Insert one end of the electrical diode down into that #10 slot. If needed use a needle nose pliers. The diode pins are pretty bendable so just make sure you get some of it down into the #10 slot.

 

Then go down to the bottom (last row away from the release latch and go to slot #22 (clearly one over from the #21 that's marked in the diagram).

Push the other end of the diode down into the #22 slot.

 

Once you have them both in the #10 slot and the #22 slot, you've made a jumper "bridge" between the two.

Gently twist the BROWN electrical cube back so it's oriented and push it back into it's motherboard. It will click back in.

 

Insert key in your ignition and test it out.

You're FOG LIGHTS should automatically be ON if your low beam headlights are ON.

When your low beam headlights are OFF, the fog lights will also be OFF.

 

You can now just leave the dash mounted headlight selector in AUTO and your low beams and your fog lights will both automatically come on each and every time your headlights come on, and go off when the headlights go off.

All done.

I'm a little late to the game here, but I have to point out that that pin out is wrong. Not sure where it came from, but, according to my truck, and also according to another pin out I found, the numbers are a relativity mirror image of what this picture says. Notice the molded in numbers 21 and 26 in the picture I took.

That being said, pins 10 and 22 (the correct pins) are the ones needed. Note, 10 is the fog lamp and 22 is the parking light (crap... Now I can't remember if that was right or the opposite...), so make sure to point the diode in the right direction (band on the diode toward the fog lamp). Otherwise the parking lights will come on when you turn on the fig lamps... Not that they aren't already on at that point, but, that's the theory, anyway.c6f9d1f18ccf0e2716ab8dd9e4270a64.jpg

Not sure what you are trying to point out here

I wrote up how to do this mod after I did it myself, so I know it's correct.

I am not aware of any typo or anything that I posted being a "mirror opposite", and many others have done this mod after reading my post and nobody has had issues.

 

Use #10 and #22 Pin with the diode. Your fog lights will come on when your parking/headlights come on when in AUTO mode on the dial, exactly as I wanted.

You never have to touch the fog light button OR the headlights on button. Just leave it in AUTO and your headlights AND foglights will come on when the light is low.

This is the same mod that keeps the fogs on with brights as well right?

10 and 22 are correct.

 

This is what it is very important to know what slots you are going into, color wire scheme, and schematic to verify. It can get tricky looking at a schematic and you forget that sometimes you could be looking at a mirror image or the mating connector.

 

Here is a better picture showing it 09061bf82bc30d7e371d370273e8bcd9.jpg

Similar but different.

In order to do that you use different pin slots not pin #10 and #22 as I posted for the fogs on with low beams/parking lights.

10 and 22 also keeps the fogs on with high beams as well. I just checked it.

This is true, I checked after I posted that it was similar but different. :D

Guess it still is technically, because anybody who using pin 10 (with 18 i believe) will have the fogs stay on with high beams but won't have fogs on with parking/low beams. :D

Should have noted that my daughter was not in the mood for a picture. She was giving me horrible faces. This was the worst though so of course I chose it.

I went the 10 22 route and also used just a wire to jump 26 brown and 26 pink to have the cargo lights and reverse lights on at same time.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
