They go around the rear view mirror and enclose the mount.

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

Definitely wanting to see the console install. Power folding mirrors on an LT trim would also be excellent. Those are the only two things I really want on my truck that it didn’t come with. The dealer just didn’t have my truck with buckets on the day I went in and I didn’t want an LTZ this time mostly because I really wanted red hot color. So, here I am in want of console and mirrors. I know@pgamboa has the answers I am awaiting.

My truck didn't come with those and neither did the rear view mirror. Do you know the part number for it by any chance? I finally replaced the rear view mirror with the auto-dim one and it just looks ugly with the cables out.

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 option! ?

 

Taking off that little console thing was easy. I got a little knife from my keychain and pried off the little tabs and they just popped off. Next, I used a T8 to unscrew the silver small screws then a T15 for the long black screws. I was popping off the main thing from the sides kinda prying it off again and it just popped off again -- too easy! I noticed two clips stayed on the frame and I think they're supposed to stay  there since the 'female' and looks like it grabs on to them?

 

The hardest part was screwing back those damn T15 screws. It took me like 30-45 minutes just trying to make them go in the center hole without being able to see. And theres a second hole on the inside corner where it was always getting stuck on. Patience and some beer made me not break the damn thing in anger. After that, the 2nd most hardest thing was peeling off the cable from the glue. I didn't want to use my knife in case I cut the cable so I was using a flat head to peel it off. This part took about 15 minutes. But all in all, an easy enough job! Hopefully the pictures I took can help someone recognize what those other two plugs are for!

 

PS: If you want a specific picture in higher resolution, let me know!

 

Edit: I’ve been thinking, I wonder if that big connector is for the homelink module. Would be cool to add the homelink module by plugging it in and just get the little plastic cover with the hole in it for the buttons to easily add homelink to the truck.

So I called my dealer to see if they can order that wire cover for me and I mentioned what those two other harnesses are for. He looked it up and said it’s for the windshield wiper and temperature sensor. So I guess there goes that rear view mirror camera thing. ?

Interesting, I guess it is possible to add rain sensing wipers?

Pretty much since they don’t even offer them as an option.

Tonight I just pulled my trim down to see if I had the wires for the auto dim rear view mirror and I do. But just like in Semedar's pics I also have the big grey connector right above where the home link buttons should be. I have a hard time believing it is not for home link. Maybe I misunderstood previous post about it being for rain sensitive wipers. Anyway I'm going to order my mirror.

Not for rain sensing wipers as it’s not even an option on the high Country trucks.

Can confirm, this simple method works. Taking off the console sounds more scary than it is, it goes back together very easily. Even the two front screws some had trouble with went right back in on the first try (maybe I was just lucky lol). Altogether in total it took less than 30 mins, what took the most time is prying all the glue off the wiring harness, mine was covered in it (see pic)!!

 

Thanks @Semedar for the pics - made it a lot easier to do it!!

Btw - easy test to see if it works (before putting everything back)  is by covering the sensor in the back of the mirror with your finger, you'll see it slowly dim, put truck in reverse and see it light up again, then back to Park to see it dim. Mission accomplished!!

Could it be for sunroof controls?

I think you're right. I have the sunroof and only had one 'unused' wiring harness - rest was all plugged into the console.

Could also be for the power rear window (which I have also).

So, It sounds like I'm screwed since I'm in a 2018 LT.

 

my mirror has OnStar only (manual tilt).

 

I'd love a mirror that did auto-dim, OnStar AND added Homelink...

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
