Phil, have you seen if there are any differences if the truck has the Snow Plow Package.  I know there is a relay to run the beacon lighting on the Snow Plow Package up there.  I was in a 2015 Denali 3500 with the Snow Plow Package and noticed it did not have HomeLink or sliding rear window.  I've noticed newer snow plow trucks still don't have the sliding rear window but I haven't been able to verified if they have HomeLink or not.  The HomeLink only require power and ground correct unless they changed it over the years so it don't see why it'd be hard to add it anyways, even with the Snow Plow Package unless I am missing something.

Off hand, i don’t know. For the beacon lighting, how is that switched? I’ve come across a headlight switch that has an extra button for an “Up Light”. I presume this switch is for the lights that can be added to roll bars. I have ordered with plans to test the output and incorporate it for other uses.

1c091d082061669a4cb1bfda6ebe45d0.jpg this is basically it except i have the garage door openers and sliding back window on mine, robbed this pic off goggle

 

i took my overhead console stuff apart in my '14 when i 'blued' my interior lights/switches.

 

check out the pic below - it's not a great pic of the light you are referring to - but it will give you an idea (circled in the background)

That's cool as I have never seen that switch before.  I'm definitely curious on that so keep us posted. 

 

The beacon light on the overhead console and is a similar switch like the sliding rear window or sunroof switches.

Phil, I got to thinking, is that switch for vehicles with the automatic high-beams like the Escalades if not for the rollbar lights.

As a standard HomeLink is removed with snow plow prep option.  It has been a point I have been making with the local dealer as I want HomeLink and everything they order has snow plow prep.  The sales manage is too dense to realize that it matters to some people.

So you could change out that single bulb instead of buying a whole new piece? Any idea what size bulb it is?

if i remember correctly the bulb is soldered to a circuit board

 

i'm sure you could swap it out (i changed a whole bunch of surface mount LEDs in my dash) - i just don't have a clue as to where you'd find a new LED. 

 

i don't know what size the LED was but it was pretty small  (smaller than the surface mount LEDs in my dash)

This switch came out when roll bars came for 2016+. I’ll be on vacation next week, so I may not be able to test it until I return. But @Tinkering Fox is also testing this switch too and may get to it before I can.

Wow, that looks great.  I have been looking for a switch for a couple cube LEDs that I want to mount on my truck but could never find anything that looked "stock."  this looks perfect.  Once you test it let me know what you find.

Phil,

 

What is the p/n for this switch?  I will be adding some Putco Dayliners to the front of my truck and wanted to wire them to a switch like this.  I saw this switch in previous threads about the lights on the sport bar package but haven't been able to locate the part number.

 

Will be following this so I can see what else the switch can control!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
