I don't know what wire it is, but there is a constant power wire for the OEM Homelink console. You have fuse boxes on either end of the dash so you can check those for constant power to tap into.

I took some pictures to maybe help some people! I saw that there are three plugs up there! One for the rear view mirror and two I don't know what for. I'm hoping it's for the rear view mirror camera o

So I finally had time to do mine yesterday.  Like others have said, the hardest part is removing the black cover behind the mirror.  It's in two pieces.  I was able to get the larger piece loose relat

Can anyone confirm one way or the other if the 2023 1500's have the harness with connector up behind the headliner or not?  Just bought the mirror # 13540313 and I'm trying to figure out if I need to get that pigtail or not.  Thanks!!

From what I have read of those with a 22.5 refresh truck, they DO NOT have the mirror harness in the headliner. With the Global B electrical architecture change, they dropped that part of the wiring harness for some reason.

Thanks!!   One more question for the experts.  Seeing we are going to need to tap into the wires up there, does anyone know what those little spades are that they use for the Radar detector leads.  Little flat ends that you can push into the connector.  Been searching around Amazon, and all I'm seeing is much too big.  It think i'd much rather go that route than to tap the wires themselves.

I am talking about these mini flat spades that fit right into the molex connector that folks use to power radar detectors from the mirror connectors.  With these if I can find them, I can get the pigtail, and use these spades to Roof Console connector right there.

Fwiw, this is what I did that worked out great for my 2023.  The Black Roof Console Connector X2 has the Ground (Blk/Wh) at Pin 5 and Switched Power (Purple) at Pin 8, as mentioned earlier in this thread.  This is the connector closest to the driver when you drop the overhead console (the other connector you don't use is gray).

 

I got the connector with the pigtails that fit the mirror PN# 13540313.  The link is a page or two earlier in this thread too.  After confirming the wiring and tested, I simply unwrapped the cloth tape a few inches, and ran a razor blade around the Blk/Wh wire in two places approx 1/4" apart, and tightly wrapped the Black wire from the pigtail then soldered.  Same for the Purple wire and wrapped the Red from the pigtail, and soldered too.  Wrapped both leads tightly with electrical tape, and secured with some small nylon zip ties. I don't believe there is a Reverse wire available up there on the Refresh, so I didn't use the green lead from the pigtail.  

 

Entire project took about 30 minutes.  The hardest part is getting those two T15 console screws back home.  Thanks to all of the earlier contributors for making this an easy mod!

Sorry for reviving an older thread, but I just picked up my 2021 Sierra Elevation

 

I picked up a Gentek mirror with homelink, autodim and compass with a 3 wire hook up - ground, switched power (Compass) and 12V (homelink). I was going hook up compass and homelink to switched power.

 

I have the unused autodim mirror connector glued in my overhead console. I clipped it off and checked all the wires but couldn't find any power at all (switched or constant). Any ideas/suggestions?

 

Before i order the fuse tap from Amazon, thought I'd check to see if I was missing something....

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
