Needing some help. The overhead Console in my 21 Elevation has 3 wire harnesses (2 to the console and 1 unplugged). I am wondering what is the unplugged harness for? I see that in the Denali it is plugged up to something. Keep in mind I dont have power rear view mirror or a sunroof or HUD. I am trying to find out what the harness is for. I am wanting to tap into it for my radar instead of wiring to the fusebox. I dont have a multimeter with me at the moment and was wondering if anyone knew? 

 

Was referencing: 

 as to the harness was plugged. my elevation has it plugged to nothing.

 

So far I've Concluded that red/green is battery + Voltage.  Black is ground. Not sure about the others. I am pretty sure this is powered but like i said no voltmeter atm. 

 

Thanks.

The auto dimming mirror harness is glued to the roof, so it is not that.     Do you have homelink or rear sliding window?  Might be a harness for that.

I just installed homelink, and had to pull my old console down, and noticed the unused harness. no rear sliding window.

It could be but I was going over the wiring diagram and couldnt find anything on it. I was referencing the 10way pin and the colors on the pin numbers. couldnt find anything even close.

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
