Diagrams and Radio Mounting

I have a 2019 Silverado 1500-LD double cab.  I've been trying to find a good wiring diagram for the vehicle, but there is nothing in Haynes, or on the web that I found.  Dealer is of no help unless I want to buy the complete shop set which includes all mechanicals and engine types.

 

The mission: 1). Install cab roof lights. Another message gave me basic info, but no specific terminal numbers.  2). I would like to locate the wires and tap the signal off the turn signal switch to a relay, turning on floods on the side of the grill guard.  This is to have better illumination in the direction of turns on logging roads.  3). I would also like to put radios in my truck which we use for comms on the highway and sites.  I'm looking for a convenient way to tap for the accessory signal for a relay, so when ignition is off, so are all the radios.

 

It's my impression that there were changes in the 2018 and before, and 2020 and later which do not apply to the 2019.  Any help in finding a manual showing accurate drawings, (downloadable or manual purchase), for the 2019 1500-LD would be appreciated.

I have a 19 LD LT. First, there is a goofy, bigger than normal,  3-prong big fuse on the passenger side fuse box which controls the in dash cigarette lighter. With the fuse in one position, the lighter is always on, with the fuse in the other position, the lighter is switched on by the ignition. This is what I am using for the ignition source for my interior relay for woofer, heated seats, and other improvements I am making to my 19 LD. The easiest way to get power into the cab from the battery is via the passenger side. There is a rubber grommet just above the upper passenger door hinge. Run a cable from the battery (also on passenger side) through the back top of the fender to the grommet above the hinge. This grommet matches up inside the dash to the side of the glove box. There is an interior access with a slight offset from the grommet hole the run your wires as needed for radios, lights, etc. I am building a custom console to replace the jump seat to hide the amplifier and sub-woofer plus add switches for heated seats and inside the bed lighting (I have tonneau cover). If you have questions, let me know. The cigarette lighter and storage area are easily removed with 3 screws providing access to the back of the cigarette lighter.

Thanks for the info.  I'm finding that the 2019 Silverado to be somewhat an enigma.   None of the auto part stores seem to have information on the electrical system, but I'm also finding that good mechanical data is scarce.  What I was told by the NAPA guy was that 2019 was a "Change Year", and some components were made from stock of 2017 and before, while other stock was from the new 2020 and later vehicle.  First time I've heard of something like that.

 

EDIT: I received an e-mail to check this URL...

Page 34 may be the page I need, and tapping 524--WH and 307--YE/BN may be what I need.  I only need 34mA of +12v to drive the flood control module for lights.

Tapping 524 and 307 will turn on the lights when the turn signal switch is activated (your #2). You will need separate left and right relays with the coils tapped to 524 and 307 respectively. 

 

For lights powered only with truck power on, use the cigarette lighter below the radio. I will send details about the goofy 3-way fuse with a photo. You will need power inside the cab and the easiest way is using a fused wire from the battery, through the top of the passenger side fender, into the body grommet then run under/behind the glove box. I have my power run and have removed the flip down storage box beside the lighter in the dash with the intention of building a custom console (removing the jump seat). I bought cheap 8 GA jumper cables, cut the ends off and split red and black wire and then ran the red from the battery. ($10 at Harbor Freight instead of $25 for regular 8GA wire).

 

Also I am Bernie Pella in Saint Petersburg, FL. I really like the LD, it is special and the Unicorn truck. Also, it is the last year to do any HP Tuners computer changes. I will delete the DOD as soon as the warrant is out using HP Tuners.

 

I will post some photos this week

Hitting this topic again as I've been out for a long time due to Covid.  (All through Christmas, New Year, and beyond).

 

Is connection 524 and 307 a steady DC signal as long as the turn signal switch is engaged?  Or is it pulsing with the turn lights?

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
