Hello Everyone,

I wanted to create a "How To" thread on showing the installation of the RZY - Towing Mirror Jumper Harness. This is GM Part # 23387133. In the video, I reference Part # 23387134. Part # 23387134 is the Installation Manual Part # and not the harness part # itself.

This RZY Jumper Harness is needed for all 2014 and some early 2015 Trucks that are looking to upgrade their mirrors to Towing Mirrors. On these year trucks, the circuits in the door connector for the Cargo/Courtesy Lamp, Park/Running Lamps, and Turn Signal Lamps are not present.

Please refer to the Vehicle Acceptability for Retrofit Guide Here to see if you need this harness:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/q4eldhgg2x8i10q/Camper%20Mirrors%20-%2023371780.pdf?dl=0

I also advise to visually inspect the door connector and confirm you need this harness.

The pins you'll want to be looking for are:

Pin # 9 - Cargo/Courtesy Lamp (Circuit # 1430)
Pin # 11 - Park/Running Lamp (Circuit # 709)
Pin # 41 - Turn Signal Lamp (Circuit # 1314)

If ANY of these pins are missing, you'll need the RZY Jumper Harness.

The Installation Instructions can be found here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pz2y2o9kj02g66p/RZY%20Installation%20Instructions.pdf?dl=0

 

How To Video Here: ENJOY!

 

 


Let me know if you have any questions!

Great write up, helped me better understand upgrading mirrors. But I need some additional help and am going to take you up on your offer to tap into your expertise.

 

I have a 2014 Siverado LT 1500 Extended Cab 5.3L gas with Max Towing Package

It came with DL8 mirrors: Heated, Power Adjust, and Manual Fold. I wanted to upgrade to DPN mirrors: Manually Folding, Manually Extending, Heated, Turn Signal, Cargo, and Clearance Lamps.

 

Before ordering mirrors, I checked with GM supplier what harnesses I needed. Based on the VIN, the upgrade would require new door harnesses and the RZY harness, as well as reprogramming BCM. However, I verified at the door connector that the body side connector had all the necessary pins #3, 9, 11 and 41. After completing the installation, the mirrors only had power adjust, heat and signal—marker and puddle lights did not operate. My local Chevy dealer reprogrammed BCM, but the marker and puddle lights still did not operate.

 

I was told additional wiring was required as written in Doc ID 4209433 (Accessory Wiring Harness Package Installation). I reviewed the very detailed document and checked various connectors at the BEC and under hood. However, since it appears the RZY is not needed I’m not completely sure what portions of the installation instructions would apply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know how to get the terminals out of the blocks once the blue retainers are removed. I'm stuck in the driveway trying to figure it out before dark. Lol.

 

I don't want to break anuthing. Do you just pull on it until it comes out or is there a tab that need to be depressed with a small screwdriver somewhere.

You need a special tool to remove them without damaging the harness

I have a 2014 1500 high country. I had auto dimming mirrors but switched to used factory tow mirrors and now I dont have the dimming feature. I still have blinker, power fold, some mirror movement and some memory, do I need this part to get auto dim back on?

Hi I have a 2015 chevy 1500 high country 5.3 I installed a set of akkon tow mirrors and tapped into #10 fuse on passenger side kick panel for the cargo lights I also had to t-tap into the bcm in steering wheel for turn signals in both the brown plug in and the black plug in. I ran a wire thru fire wall to the under hood fuse #29 for the amber running lights on mirror!

 

Everything on mirrors work power fold all lights and they move like they should!

 

Problem I have developed after install is the driverside door window master switch works till you start the truck and then it dies no window movement from that switch on any window! 

 

Rear windows work from there own switch!

 

I also had the driverside door saying it was open but it wasn't!  I shut truck off and wiggled the driverside doorside harness a little started truck and the door sensor started working again!

 

Codes shown are u1534 u1538 u153a

 

Any help would be great thanks!

Phil, if position#41 in the door connector is occupied, shouldn’t the turn signal lamps operate before the harness installation?

      Blend door actuator

      By Charly · Posted

      Trying to replace the temperature control, blend door actuator in my 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500, but can NOT get to it by just removing the under panel on passengers side. It seems like I will need to remove the side panel of the center console, or the entire center console just to get to it- can anyone offer instructions, pictures, videos… step by step so I can get this done!??!! It’s TOO HOT to be without AC!

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
