Added a neodymium magnet to the steering column to hold the key fob still. $18 and a piece of double sided tape. The fob sticks right to it and does not bang around any more.   The magnets were

I just installed my 32 inch light bar. The light bar was 45 and the harness was 10. Grand total of 55ish with free shipping. I know that's a little more than 50, but so worth it when driving down rural roads at midnight!

Where did u connect the power to? I also have a light bar that seems to receiving stray voltage. I connected to one of the studs under the black cover that is above the battery. I replaced my relay and thought that did the trick. But the same thing is happening. Any help would be appreciated!!

Okay, so I probably have not been doing this the proper way, but I have just been connecting straight to the "main stud". I know there are more studs under that black cover but I have no idea how to get it off. I haven't had any issues with my bar though by connecting it to the main power. If you tell me how to get that cover off I'll go take a look. I'm kinda bored right now haha.

I take it off by putting a screw driver in the holes around the outside. Pry up a little by each one. Once the entire cover is loose u have to turn and twist it to get it out from below the bar. Just think About a game of Tetris and don't be afraid to put some slight muscle into pulling it out.

Any details on these? Who makes the lights and how did you hook them up?

They were cheapo lights from Amazon (forget the seller off the top of my head) but they were under 20 bucks for 8 of them and since I only used 5 I have 3 as spares, so we'll see how long they actually last. I then bought some bolts and nuts from home Depot for a couple bucks, and measured out where I wanted the lights to go on the air dam. I drilled a hole big enough to fit the wires through in the center where each light is and 2 offset smaller holes for the bolts. I wired the lights in series, with the negative wire (white) going to a grounding point, and the positive wire (black) to an add a circuit in the fuse box using the fuse socket that powers the front right marker light.

 

Materials:

8pc led marker lights from Amazon ~$18

10 bolts/nuts that fit the lights mounting holes ~$5

15 amp micro2 add a circuit ~$7

Wire, wire taps and quick connects ~$20

 

If a few people want me to do a how to with pics I will

      I'm tangentially aware of what Harley used to be, back in my riding days, although I was into Italian sport bikes. Ducati seems to have gone the other way; still very expensive, but they've made a large subset of their bikes a lot more reliable and accessible, and they've diversified their lineup to include other riding sports too. IMO, a good example of where greed and growth might have also been beneficial to the consumer.   Although GM is charging a relative premium for its most popular pickups, I find that there are some excellent value propositions in its lineup as well.   The Colorado still strikes me as the most attractive midsize on the market, and also the most reasonably priced given capability and features. There's a part of me that wishes I would have bought one instead of my Silverado.   The Equinox ...I must be getting old. The ICE equinox is a great design IMO. Probably because it reminds me visually of an actual SUV aka an S Blazer. Underneath it's nothing even remotely close, but it LOOKS good. It's got all the modern features plus some at a very reasonable price. If I had to run out and buy myself a daily commuter to do everything except tow, an Equinox would be on my list.   It does bug me that mid-tier 1500's reach into the 50-60k range, and Tahoes and Burbs are even more expensive. Less than 10 years ago, dealers were sitting on rows of Tahoe LS and LT's for low 40's. You could even still find Tahoes with a front bench, still!

      Gas Prices

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA
