Will a USB-C to 12v adapter run a beacon??? And is either the USB-A or USB-C in centre console always on or both switched???

[pcmem]

Does the beacon require more than 1/2A power? Then probably not. Most beacon's require 30-60W which is going to be over 3A.

Thats what I figured - guess I need to wire in a cigarette plug as I need 5A. Can't believe they ditched them......

I added one to my rear seats in my 2022 Sierra just for gigs.

The mod that inspired it was the boost auto center console charging pad. Now I have two charging pads and a cig plug.

Just don't load this plug over 5A if you do this, the wires you tap off of for the pad are thin.

If you wanted to just add the cig plug without the charging pad mod, I could probably find the connector you need for the plug. LMK if any interest.

 

 

Absolutely looking for just the cigarette lighter mod - had no idea was deleted until truck came in and need 5A for cooler and beacon.....

There didn't seem to be any other local 12V lines in the area of the center console to tap off of but you could easily run a fuse tap off of the driver side fuse box and fish it above the footwell and through the center console trim to get back there.

Hi MATT99199,

just picked up my new 2022 Sierra Delani. "If equipped"..". No 12V anywhere.

I need to power 1 small RV back up/rear view driving camera display as well as a small Realtime forward camera.

both outfitted with cigarette lighter plugs. Your idea is brilliant. Where exactly dou you get to the 12V at the back of the console ?

 

thanks 

Rob

I bet the OP is pissed that there is not a cassette player either...

I take that back, I have but to hold a USB phone charger. Meaning basically have just used a USB port

I have a 2022 RST...  same issue.   BUT... I found this site, has all the parts needed to put a 12 volt in the console...  https://www.gmpartsonline.net/ ..  I've purchased all the trim and parts for less than $60, and the stock wire harness has the plug for it, so it'll be plug-n-play, and not void the warranty.     Looking for instructions as to how to pop the trim off and replace the parts now.    Good luck in your search..

Those adapters will not work, they are not high enough power.

 

And if they did, that's insane to convert the 12v DC to ac then back to 12v DC
