Tow Mirrors WORKING On a 2019!

So I wanted to update my original post, but I couldn't figure out how to do it.

 

Anyway, after much research and with help and collaboration from TNT799 - We have figured out how to get the 2020 Tow Mirrors fully functional on a 2019. It's actually kinda simple, you just need to tap into the following wires on the BCM and, run them to the mirrors and tap into the corresponding wires in the mirrors:

 

X7 - PIN 4 - Cargo Lamp Switch Control
X4 - PIN 3 - Right Turn Signal
X5 - PIN 2- Left Turn Signal

X4 Pin 13 - Running Lights

 

I have tested and confirmed this in "spaghetti mode" on my truck. However I don't have it hard-installed. I'm going to be working on that this weekend. When I'm done I'll post pictures as well as the color codes of the wires inside the tow mirrors. I just wanted to get the info out to those of you who have been wanting the tow mirrors to function on your 2019.

 

I have these 100% working and functional now.. I've posted in detail on the Facebook 2019-2020 Silverado's group. I'll be updating the full walk through here soon.

 

Here's my original post on the tow mirrors:

Yes, if you get tow mirrors with that feature they will continue to work, plug and play.

Correct. You would have to buy tow mirrors from a 2020 HC 1500 (order them from the parts department.) Higher end tow mirrors with cams & blindspot warnings are not available on the accessory site

Please update, I would like to buy these mirrors ASAP but I dont want to buy them if I cannot get all of the lighting to work properly. I have a 2019 Trail Boss so all I need is power adjust heated and all the lights to work.

I have a 2020 Sierra Denali and I am very interested in this also.

Do you have surround view cameras?

Hey, I was curious if you ever finished this install and a write-up. I traded my standard mirrors for some fully loaded tow mirrors, and it would be cool to get the various light features working properly.

Yes. I did get them working 100%. I posted in detail on the Facebook Group 2019+ Silverado/Sierra & 2020 HD Trucks. Here's the overview:

 

Here’s the circuits you have to tap into:
X4 pin 3 - right turn signal
X5 pin 2 - left turn signal
X7 pin 4 - cargo lamp LED’s
X4 pin 13 - running/clearance lamp

 

PM me and I will send you all the pics and procedures in detail.

One question.  I have a HC and use my blind spot monitoring on my side mirrors.  Do the tow mirrors have the blind spot and does it work? 

 

Thanks for taking the time to research this and get it out to us. :)

Update: I swapped pins 5 and 13 in my harness and now my tow mirror task lights are functioning normally. As these tow mirrors do not have puddle lights underneath, the integrated parking lights now come on instead of the puddle lamps. TNAT4 and I came to this conclusion based on pin diagrams for our vehicles. He has yet to swap pins on his standard mirrors, but he should regain task light functionality as well. 

 

If anyone is interested in the pin diagrams for the 2019 and 2020 GMC trucks, I can post them up. I plan to build and add a 3-wire harness to my truck that will allow the turn signals, parking lamps, and rear cargo lights to function.

Yes, please post them. I plan to get the tow mirrors in the future.

 

Did you guys have the dealer do any calibration/programming for the cameras?

I posted them above. 

 

As mentioned before, both of our cameras are misaligned. They still work, but the surround view is rather skewed on the sides. TNAT4 went to his dealer to get reprogramming done, and they were unable to do it without a code from GM. From what I understand, he would have had to buy another set of GM mirrors that come with a code, and there would still be no guarantee that they would be able to reprogram the mirrors I traded him. 

 

Maybe he can chime in at some point, but he was looking into having a custom shop fab up a mirror housing that would relocate his cameras to his previously calibrated locations.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
