Does anyone know how to get 12v power to the accessory line/trailer battery hook up on the new silverado 7 pin trailer plug? Does it just need a fuse to be added or is there a jumper line for it?

Not sure but my 16 leer cap had a plug and play t connector that you popped off the wire harness from the back of the 7 pin on the bumper. It sent one wire to the third brake light in the cap and the other was an always on live 12v signal for the dome light in the cap.

I asked my leer dealer if it was the same on the 19s and he said no, leer said they had do something different because that method would not work on the 19s. I don't remember the details. Not sure if that helps. All I got for ya.2ea0d49065cd7ea40faaa8d3eca1469c.jpg

I'm going to start digging through fuses and see whats hooked up. I know there's one for a trailer battery. I'm going to check and see if the fuse is in place seeing it should be routed to that pin in the plug and go from there. Only down side to being the first owners of a new generation of trucks lol

My leer dealer mentioned about getting 12 v from the trailer to wire the cap on the 19s. Try calling a Leer dealer and ask them how they wire the lights and accessory for the 19s. They might be able to explain it.

Fuse 63, 30 amp is TRLR BATT in the underhood block.. 

 

Red wire with a Green stripe, circuit 742 Battery Positive Voltage. 

 

Not sure how the camper places are doing it though.  The bed wall cargo lights are now integrated into each respective side tail light harness, so you can't do a CHMSL for a camper shell with the cargo light plug like on K2 trucks.  GM had a dedicated terminal cavity for that purpose that was in the bed cargo light connector.

I figured out what was going on. I blew the fuse. It puts a full 12v to the accessory from the factory. I must have crossed a wire. Working great now though. I'm using the 7 pin to power an electric jack and a transfer pump for a little mechanics trailer I'm making.

You need a better pic of the deer heads. The racks got cut off.

Lol I'll have to get a pic when I go back to my pops house. Mostly a bunch of west Texas deer. 2 or 3 of them are pretty decent deer.

Sorry it's a little late getting back on this. I really dont remember which fuse it was but I'm pretty sure it was in the fuse box under the hood.

Would you mind taking a look at your panel and see if you can remember. I check #63 for trailer power and my fuse is good. Just not charging trailer battery and I am at a loss.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
