Looking for an auxiliary switch that'll mount directly in the factory locations and haven't been able to locate any GM part options.  I'm trying to maintain that factory look.

 

Is anyone aware of any aftermarket options?  I recently purchased the grill mounted dual 10" light bars from Rough Country that I'd be using this for.

in the legacy body style, it's been a mixed bag, some people had a wiring harness that already pinned out all the switches, but didn't have any relays or battery/switched leads. some people had nothin

Haven't seen one that fits in the switch row like you circled.  If GM has one available, I haven't seen one yet.  Would be nice to have one though...

the switches you've seen for those were GM Outfitter Auxiliary Switches.

 

AUX SWITCH INSTALL is the thread you are looking for

those switches all share space on the same PC Board.  Are the circled areas in question non functioning spacers?

The upfitter switches in that thread are for 2014-2019 trucks. 

 

Need the 2019-2020 switches.

on the switch bank you have, like the circled areas in the photo above, are just spacers, not functioning switches?

(have you taken the switch bank out and pulled the part number off of it?)

Yes the circled ones are just spacers but they're functional switches on some of the LTZ and High Country trim levels.  This leads me to believe there is a way to wire up a factory switch but it may be labeled as something else.  once the aftermarket catches up a custom switch should be fairly simple to produce.

You haven't pulled the switch to check the harness?

when you do, open it up to see what electronics are present at the spacers..

 

body builder manuals are available now, you've checked them for electrical pinouts?

havent pulled the panel yet.  will snap some pics and post when I do.

 

i'm no electrician but i'd assume since the rough country lights come pre-wired and use the battery as a power source its a matter of replacing the relay switch included in the kit with one of these panel switches  ???

in the legacy body style, it's been a mixed bag, some people had a wiring harness that already pinned out all the switches, but didn't have any relays or battery/switched leads. some people had nothing in their harness except the switches which came with the vehicle, I think one or two people actually had everything including the relays for the outfitter switches in the X51 fuse box.

 

the issue with that thread is that it tries to consolidate 4-6 years of GM evolution in manufacturing..

The gm aux switches are on the left side of the steering wheel now. Couple threads on here about them! They work great!

I wanted to do something a bit different. 
 

installed one of these Switchpods. Still waiting on 6 AWG ring terminals to arrive in the mail to finish wiring up the relay pod itself

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
