Did anybody figure this out for the 2019s? On my old truck there was already a footwell light but it was just a tiny bulb and only on the driver side. I added LEDs to both side and just used the existing wire. That worked great. Would love to add footwell LEDs to my Trail Boss that work with the dome lights.

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 righ

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!

I'm working on it today. I'll find the right wires and report back. I got the 1st part done with wiring this into the accessory power.

Yep.

 

I figured it out. 

 

As for the dome light I found the right wire in the harness that gives me the positive output that I need as well.   Pin 10 on the forward most BCM Connector.  2nd Gray wire.

 

I have that marked and ready for the rest of the install. 

 

In order to use this Kit how I want, I had to order a couple of set's of relays. Cost 10 bucks for these relays and all of the parts will be here on Weds.  I will assemble, bench test it Thursday and get it installed on Saturday morning.  I will have photos of everything after I get the wiring completed. 

 

It sounds complicated but it really isn't.  Just need an hour of time to wire everything up offline before getting back in the dash to install everything. 

 

More to come this weekend!

Can anyone tell me if they found an accessory powered fuse in the passenger side fuse panel. I have tested everything there and everything is hot. Even the open spots.

Edit: Found it thanks

It's the spade to the left of the 50 amp circuit breaker.

You have to use a spade connection to grab it and split it off from there.

Add an inline fuse and your good to go.e7eb2a7e74c3b41fd2cf50aea95b32e6.jpg

what triggers this on/off? or is this just a constant 12v w/ ignition on?

It's accessory power. 

 

When the ignition is in Accessory mode or running that pin is powered.

Did you by chance stumble on the dome light fuse? I ideally wanted power only when the dome lights are on.

It's also in the passenger side A Pillar from what I have been told, but I haven't had time to tear into it quite yet. That's Saturday mornings plan before I head to the muffler shop to get some more bottom end on this truck.

Sorry.... I just realized you posted that before. Been a long week!

 

I not sure where to look for the BCM connector, can you help me out?

      HELP! DUMPING COOLANT

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      If anyone lands here looking for an update - the problem wasnt with the hose, the clamp, etc... I purchased a metal Thermostat housing that just must not of been made to spec. It just wouldn't plug up the hose.. Went back to a plastic cheap housing - leak fixed. Some plumbers tape carefully placed in tandem with a clamp likely would've gotten the job done.   Best,

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      For anyone following, this is what I have deduced from this forum - and my very specific niche case. Please do let me know if you see me going in the wrong direction here. For context, I have a 16 sierra 1500 w/t. Has TC and Cargo light switches. Removed the switch to find the X1 and X2 of the S48A connection populated with wires (x1 10-14, and x2 1-5).   Took photos of the X61A-X5 to find the wires from S48A-X1 land here at their respective pins (10, 11, 17, 23 on the X5). Was hopeful that this means my X51A fuse box has the appropriate pins... No cigar. So now I will be routing wires from the rear of the X61A-X1 to the engine bay and to their respective negative relay triggers. Please see to the diagram. If any has insight as to where the S48A-X2 pins 4 and 5 land that would be awesome.   Note: please disregard fuse sizes. Main fuse will like be 25A, all mini bus fuses will likely be 10-15A   Cheers

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!
