I installed some RGB footwell lights this weekend (picture forthcoming) and part of the project involved locating a switched power source and preferably one with retained accessory power.  In the right fuse panel (passenger side) by fuse F27 which is a square shaped fuse, there is an additional prong next to it that will accept a spade connector which you can then run a wire to a separate fuse for whatever you are installing.  I hope this helps someone else since wiring diagrams are not readily available on the net yet.  Enjoy!

Yes There is only one slot that is switched. It's the spade to the left of the 50 amp circuit breaker. Top right of this picture. You have to use a spade connection to grab it and split it off

Hooked mine up last night. Wired them into the dome lights. Thanks Smoothbassman!

Good info, thanks.  I will be adding foot-well lighting  as well.  Hate getting in and not having it.  It is standard on my 2002.  Can't believe they got rid of it.

I take it this power source works with the interior lights?  As when you open the door they come on and then go out?

No issues on my truck.

If this connection has retained accessory power, are your lights always on?

RAP only stays on until the driver door is opened.
Yeah I figured that out after I wired it up lol. I was just concerned because my car charger stays on with the truck off and thought that was the "retained" accessory power

OK on my 2019 that connection is always hot.  Anyone have any more suggestions.  What is an easy way to test it to go off when the dome lights go off?  It's just me so no other help to turn on and off things while I probe with a test light.  I tried the one by the 50amp fuse and it was always on as well.

Yep, problem is, mine are just LED's.  No controller so they stay on all the time while driving.  Not sure How I will like that at night.  Would rather have a switched source that is connected to the  dome lights.  I just need to find the wire to tap into.

That's what I did on my Tacoma. I had the foot lights and rock lights on with my done lights. If you find that wire, please let me know

I'm looking for the same thing (dome Light control) I am definitely missing footwell lights (as well as puddle lights.)

 

I don't believe it's something we're gonna find in the fuse box.  It's more than likely gonna be a bcm plug.  I think it was grey on the last gen trucks.  

 

Im not a fan of splicing into those wires so I'm thinking of making a pass through plug with a tap of the dome light wire.   

 

Same with my high beams to aux lights. 

 

I'll do some digging when I get a free weekend and let you know. 

 

Below is what I've found so far.

Anyone figure out if this is possible yet?  I know on the previous years you could tap into the BCM plug.  But wondering if anyone has done it on the 2019's yet?  I would love for the LED's to go on and off with the interior lights.

      Scan Tool Recommendation

      By AndrewF · Posted

      I am in the market for a bidirectional scan tool so was hoping someone can help point me in the right direction. There are so many options out there it is hard to narrow down which make/model to choose.   I have always done my own vehicle work so looking to maximize capability with the scanner. Ideal price is $1k or less but would be willing to exceed if it opens up significant benefits.  Currently my 24 2500 is the newest vehicle but also have a few mid to late 2010s Subarus as well.    It seems that the Autel MP900 has a decent amount of features at a reasonable price?

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.
