Hi all, I have a 2022 GMC Sierra Denali 3500HD and installing a Blackvue 900x dashcam.  Hardwiring to the truck and going to utilise the passenger side fuses as per most people have done.

 

Using an electrical tester I notice none of the fuses in that panel are emitting any power while truck is on or off.  Thinking it may be my tester I tried on the drivers side panel and all those fuses illuminate my tester pen.

could it be a faulty fuse box? But then should there be multiple things failing in my truck if no fuses on the passenger side was working?

 

wondering if someone could offer some insight

 

thanks

If memory serves me, the fuses on the passenger side are hot only when the ignition is on.  The driver side fuses are always hot.  Not sure where your problem lies but hopefully this helps.

Thanks, I’ll double check this again.  But if that’s the case then it means the dashcan can’t be connected to this side on the battery wire?

other users above seem to have achieved it

I just checked with the truck running and with the tester pen there is no voltage going to any of the fuses.

But I don’t understand as everything in the truck is working.  No faults or alarms

Upper right side of that fuse box is a 50A fuseable link.  There are three male spades.  Currently the one spade you can see on the left will either be direct battery voltage or Accessory.  You could use a male spade on the Battery positive spade with an inline fuse.

Check to ensure the negative side of your tester is on a real ground (maybe go direct to Battery negative under the hood).  I once tested a fuse box only to find what you did.  I was dead certain the fuse block was dead.  Then I realized the post I was using for Negative was a rubber isolator... DOH!!!  lol

 

Good luck! :cheers:

 

Side note:  When you are done, it would be great to get your thoughts on install and your satisfaction with the unit. :thumbs:

Thank you.  I actually copied your wiring exactly even though the fuses are omitting no voltage on the pen tester and low and behold when I started the ignition the camera turned on.  I've never been so turned on in my life!

I used the ground screw to the right.

So whilst using this item for 24 hours, I notice the cam goes into parking mode when ignition is off and I exit the truck.  However after 20 mins the camera stops sending parking event alerts so I'm suspecting after 15-20 mins the voltage that goes to the BATT wire (red) actually stops giving juice.

Are you experiencing the same?

Update to this, just checked the CAMs and they have the white light so power isn't the problem.  Am suspecting my trucks WIFI perhaps disconnects after 20 mins which severed the connection to the cloud.

What solution are you fine fellows using for 24hour connection to the cloud?  I assume you purchase a data SIM too, what kind of prices are you paying monthly for that?

 

Thanks

Yeah mine gets power until the Powermagic kills it, usually ~12hrs. If you are using the truck WiFi, it powers off shortly after you turn off the truck. I have a separate WiFi puck in my truck that runs off battery, I don't use the integrated WiFi.

Are you guys just jamming the wires into those fuse slots?  Are there no fuse taps available for our trucks?

Mine are just wrapped around the fuse posts for now. I say for now, but they've been like that for a year. I have a pack of fuse taps, just haven't gotten around to doing that swap.

I just wired mine to the 12v power point in the dash so it's always on and recording. It does go into parking mode and never had a problem with battery life. I don't have cloud recording, but I do find That if I want to connect to it, I have to disconnect from the Apple car play or it terminates my connection with my cam.

Which fuses are activated when the acc on the ignition switch is turned on?

I'm trying to use a fuse tap to activate my Auxbeam control panel.

      Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔

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

      The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.

      My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
