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....

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
