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....

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what? I'm doing my part of keeping automotive industry going and keeping my neighbors, most of whom are in it, employed. 😉      By the way this is the "signature... ¬

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
