Any way we can get the mirror work lights to stay on while the truck is in drive? I didn't realize the truck had to be in park for them to work but they it makes sense from a DOT stand point.

I would just like to know how to have the mirrors open up when you start the car.

I would at least like for the mirror lights to turn on with the cargo, bed, and reverse lights along with fogs when unlocking...to light up the parking lot lol. Iam sure it’s possible as I had my cargo lights wired up with the reverse lights and they would come on after pressing unlock on remote on my 17. I just need to find the rest of the sheets that the OP attached to figure out whwre to slip in the diodes

Found the info. So far I was thinking of putting a diode from pin 18 module X2 (gray wire) to pin 4 module X7 (gray/blue wire) and this way have the cargo lamps come on with the bed lamps and have extra light when unlocking vehicle at night or when loading up the truck bed at night. 

 

What do you guys think? I would like to include the mirror perimeter lights but I couldn't find them on any of the modules...perhaps I overlooked it.

I need to try that. Really wish these trucks came with led reverse lights, there is no output from the stock bulbs.

Hopefully someone finds something with the mirror lights.

Brown connector on BCM - Jumper  pin 10 Brn/wht to pin 22 Blue. 

 

Fogs will come on with park/head lamps now. No need for diode.

 

so you tapped a wire into pin 10 and 22?

Just placed order for my diodes on ebay emoji4.png

Had this mod on my 17 and loved it.

 

Which ones should we bridge to make the cargo lights come on with reverse lights? I had that one and it was nice to unlock from far away and see all lights come on and shine through the parking lot!

Did you ever figure out how to do this? Do you have a link for the diodes? 

 

I'd like to get my fogs to stay on with high beams as well, if anyone has more info on how to do that I'd appreciate it

Gave it a go earlier today and inserted the diode. The brown connector comes off easily but the wires are so close together that the I couldn’t get the diode to work. The fogs were not lighting up with the drls. I’ll probably have to order the wire jumper that the OP requested or maybe give it a second try later. I know i struggled a bit with my 17 but not this much lol

Finally got it done guys here it goes!

Jumper wires from amazon in variety of sizes!

Super easy to do with the jumper wires from above. When inserting into slots 10 and 22 make sure that you try from all for corners of slot and pic the where it fits most snug.

Thanks for sharing pics!

 

So this makes the fog lights come on with the running lights? Then they stay on with high beans on?

After having it for a few days. I discovered it goes on with park lamps which I misunderstood for DRLS...so basically fogs will kick in when your low/high beams are on at night or if you turn the knob into park lamps. I tried using pin 7 instead of 22 to see if fogs would come on with DRLS but I couldnt get them to work. So I went back to pin 10 and 22. 

Still want to try the others this weekend and report back If I have other successful turnouts.

Would love to see a harness that keeps these on with the high beams

This mod will keep your fogs on  with the highs beams as well, and even when the Intelllibeams kick in into high on their own too :)

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      2023 GMC 3500 HD, SLE, 6.6L Gas, 4x4, 6 Spd Options:  SLE Convenience Package; Driver Alert Package 1; Spray on Bedliner; X31 Off Road Package; TRAILERING MIRRORS, HEATED POWER -ADJUSTABLE, AUTO DIMMING, WITH TURN INDICATORS WHEELHOUSE LINERS, REAR INC. REAR AXLE - 3.73 RATIO INC. GVWR, 11,350 LBS. (5148 KG) INC. FRONT AND REAR PARK ASSIST, INC. ULTRASONIC     I have been launching my new boat and noticed some things related to the parking brake.. I usually set the parking brake (habit) when on flat ground for typical driving.    When backed down on the launch ramp to launch the boat and I place gear selector into Park, the parking brake activates automatically. My second nature is to set parking brake manually and noticed I was turing the parking brake off.  The parking brake appears to be setting itself automatically.   I looked all over my owner's manual and only found references to being on an incline and manually setting parking brake, or at times parking brake will be auto engaged, but nothing specific to my situation.    When is the parking brake automatically engaged?  Under what specific circumstances?  Can the auto set parameters be changed?     I like the auto set feature.  It would be nice if always engaged when shifted into Park and released when shifted out of Park (like my wifes 2025 RAV4).   Thanks!

      www.enginelabs.com/news/what-i-learned-today-bearing-clearances-vs-oil-viscosities/     www.enginelabs.com/news/oil-viscosity-can-the-numbers-be-misleading/ The Big Lie… Coming full circle to the reason Lake discusses the Porsche engines in particular. Based on the 2000 samples in the SPEEDiagnostix database, increasing the oil viscosity in these engines, even those run on the track, showed no significant difference in results.   The smoking gun was in the oil chemistry. That is where the data shows higher instances of more wear. Molybdenum was the key; the higher the amount, the less the wear. Speed postulates that higher viscosity oils have more thickeners to artificially inflate their viscosity numbers. These thickeners lose viscosity under shear, and the result is that not all oils of the same viscosity have the same shear stability.   Having enough viscosity is the most important characteristic, but according to Speed, once that required viscosity level is reached, additive chemistry matters more than additional viscosity. Speed also states, oil pressure problems on the racetrack aren’t a viscosity problem; it’s an oiling system problem. Running a thicker oil is just a band-aid for an underlying oiling system problem.

      Can it still be Assembled II?   Viscosity on the decline by various means. Heat on the rise making that worse. Engine RPM in the tank. Smaller motors with more boost trying to emulate an electric motor. Full torque, zero rpm. Then we will triple the OCI. Argh.    But wait....there is more. LSPI has pushed a shift from Ca to Mg and as that cost more PLUS the run to lower sulfur compounds the TBN is moving in the wrong direction for the increased OCI's demanded.    That not being enough to placate a demand for a parameter they can't measure the other sulfur bearing compounds are also under attack. That would be zinc and phosphorus sulfonate compounds. To some degree those are being replaced with boron esters and others, i.e. titanium ect. All of which have shorter service lives. And there there is the "Secrete Sauce" marketing for AW adds that 'Can't be detected by UOA's" but trust me because I (the blenders) never ever lie.    Spoiler alert; ALL additives are sacrificial! Smaller amounts of the old blended with less robust versions of the new do not equal longer service lives. So what are the blenders recommending? Wait for it.......   MOVING THE GOAL POSTS! OMG      Let's declare the long standing TAN/TBN crossover irrelevant and tell people that soot is a great 'graphite' based lubricant which can aid tribo films. Wait, what? Let's declare that the standards used for oxidation and nitration were to conservative and can be expanded. Let's tell them that because GDI fuel dilution, although being a VISCOSITY KILLER and an acid generator is actually okay because we have better base oils that limit viscosity failure limits. (Said knowing this is measured in fractions of a centipoise and in bases not commonly used in shelf oils)   Lying from the heart is not just the new normal but we have a public, a very young public, that is so ignorant of the facts and so sure of their "RESEARCH" into AI driven models base in regurgitated  instead of scientific research based unvarnished, peer reviewed FACTS that the incoming guard is loosing their grip on reality and the OEM's are tickled pink while the blends bend the knee.    You have an ever limited set of tools to work with. And sooner or later those will be taken from you as the API and the EPA strangle the last remaining fluids from the system. What you have left is your wits. If you care to use them.    At some point in the very near future it will not longer be possible to do "What is best for the machine", and be replaced with "The best you have access too". You WILL be rewarded with half the life and twice the cost. That isn't that hard to predict.

      Software Update

      I trust you saw the other comment where he knew what he was talking about !. Yes, these darned newer vehicles with all their so smart they are stupid technology, goes and drains the battery down. As you might see my other comment, I installed a Noco 5 battery tender under the hood and at this point still have the cord routed so I have to lift the hood and then plug it in but am typically parked in a garage or a shed so its not risking the engine hood in the wind. That way I am assured or hopefully so of not finding I have a battery drawn down and can't even start the truck and that also damages the battery to draw it down too far.
