This is one of the stupidest button placements in the 2022 Sierra. Is there a way to re-map buttons?

I'm talking about the "Auto Highbeam" push button on the turn signal stalk. I wish it was a "quick wipe" push button to activate the wipers once. I mean how often are people turning the auto-highbeams on or off? Either you leave this on or off. However I'm constantly having to twist the stalk end for the 1X wipe.

 

Is there a way to re-map or switch/swap these buttons? It's quite often that reach for the push button hoping for a wipe. On my Ford, this is actually a wipe button. And there is no auto highbeam on/off button as it is an option in the settings.

I bet you get used to it and won't even think about it. 

 

On the positive side is the same hand location as for adjusting intermittent setting.

Wiper functions should have been a separate stalk on the right side of the column for the console shifter trucks. 
 

The auto high beam button is no big deal. The trailer brake controller behind the console shifter on at4/Denali and the giant stupid all windows down button on the center stack are way dumber

I don't know if I will, as I switch between both Ford and GM.

 

I usually don't mess with the wiper setting too much either as I leave the setting on Auto. And if I need a wipe in between, then I just use the quick wipe button.

 

But on this I always have to move the wiper switch from whichever setting its at, all the way to the bottom and twist it for a quick wipe then rotate the switch back all the way back to where it was. Seems pretty stupid in my opinion.

 

I'm new to GM, so maybe the GM customers are already used to it. But I would love to be able to remap the button.

My dad was a GM employee so I've only had GM vehicles so the clockwise 1x wipe is second nature. The exception was the Geo Metro 3-banger, 5-speed I learned sick on. That POS didn't even have intermittent wipers.

Uh, no.  Its not a PC game where you can just re-map controls.  

 

GM has had the quick wipe twist for a LONG time.

GM ergonomics aren't quite what they used to be...

My 15 is terrible: 

Seat climate controls hidden behind shifter

Dash vents situated to either freeze your hands off or blow anywhere else but on you

Dash taller than everest

Seats as low as a Tacoma

Sliding rear window control makes no sense

 

Definitely gonna be more aware of these things on my next truck - at least with GMC vs Chevy you can get some different dash layouts that might better suit different drivers.

Since this is the complaint thread. When I take any vehicle in to any dealer they turn off the auto headlights and move the seat. Your only going a few feet just leave it alone. The Honda seat moves back according to the fob. Otherwise put it back. And leave the radio alone. The guy at the dealership that washes the car after service leave the radio alone. Put the dimmer switch back on the floor. I almost break the clicker stick when someone flashes me at the last minute when I’m going up a slight incline. The engineers who designed the stupid headlights should be fired. And auto wipers. In my area it’s pretty humid. Every once in awhile even on a clear day on they go. Talk about startling. I drove my son’s old Tahoe once. I started getting a half as$ cheek massage getting close to the center line. Once I recovered I went to the right. Yup as I thought right cheek. The grandkids thought I was nuts. I was lucky I wasn’t pulled over for swerving. I was enjoying the massage. Totally useless otherwise.

Have you tried moving the switch to the next position "up" for the "quick wipe" then back to the previous?

That would work.

 

So would tapping the windshield washer button.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
