I waited a long time to do this upgrade on my truck because I didn’t want to have to cut and splice the wiring in my truck and wanted everything to work as if the console were factory. So when I saw t

where do i go to order a wire harness?    

 

Matt

If you haven't yet, HarnessDR.com - There are two versions, 16-pin and 23-pin.  23-pin is a SEND IN service and is likely needed for most all 2014 trucks and some 2015 trucks.  Some time in 2015, GM changed to the 16-pin version.

There are a number of things that will cause the inside compartment USB hub to not work.  

 

1.  Does the SUB Hub have an SD Card slot?

2.  What year truck?

3.  What USB Cable combination are you using?

4.  What happens when you plug a phone in using the USB cable?

4.  Are both USB Ports and the 3.5mm aux jack not working?

 

1. No the SUB Hub does not have an SD Card slot.

2.the truck is a 2017.

3.im using the same set up that you used in your video the green to grey I believe from hmi to input on the hub then black to brown the output from the hub to the connector

4.all that happens is that it charges it that’s about it 

5. only the USB ports work as a charging plug that’s it and the aux is not work

What about the front port? Does it work the way you want it?

Have a pic of your radio?

Yes the front ports work well connects to my radio and all it’s just the inside compartment one. I thought I had a pic of it but I can always take one

Double check your USB connections. The front usb hub should have the grey end of the usb cable plugged in with the green going into the HMI.

The compartment usb hub should be the brown feed at the front with Black going into the HMI. Make sure those are fully seated. If the front is working, this mean the green port is outputting. So double check that.

Wish they made this for the 19's on up.

"They " don't make the harnesses. GM corporate and dealerships will tell you it can't be done.

 

The guy that started this post 67 pages ago makes them. One guy, his sideline. He has been generous enough to share his knowledge time after making modifications using his own truck as a test mule.

 

Your only hope is that Phil (HarnessDr.com) and/or Tinkeringfox will get crazy and trade their trucks for a new model and start the experimentation again.

 

Thanks again Phil, all 3 of the harnesses I purchased from you are still going strong !!

 

Seriously thinking about number 4, the dimming mirror upgrade !

Okay I have just switched the wiring I had the black going to the front hub so I rerouted it to the hmi and I will see if that works after work. But to clarify things the green and grey ties in to the input side or output side of the front hub

Update on the aux I got it to work thanks

Anybody having a issue with having the service airbag light come on after installing new Denali seats. I purchased the seat position sensor harness from Phil but as looking into the seats I am not finding it on either seat

Did the seats come from a wrecked truck? I’ve had to swap the seat belt tensioners before.

A development of an airbag light requires some troubleshooting. For example... installing both factory seats and seeing if the airbag light goes away. If it does, then install the driver side seat first (leave factory passenger in). See if the lights comes on or not. If not, then add the passenger seat. If the light comes on then, then the issue is tied to the passenger seat. Usually the seat position sensor. If your factory seat didn’t come with one, then try swapping the seat belt tensioner. This is the part that the seat belt attaches to on the seat.

You can to tackle this strategically and see which seat is causing the trigger.

Yes -

HarnessDR.com is my site. There are 2 versions of the harness and depends on what year you’ve got.

Yes I have the factory seat belts I never changed them but I did notice the plug on the Denali seat seemed it didn’t snap in on the passenger seat ima look at the stock one and see if it’s doable to take off that one to swap out

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
