I have a 2023 Silverado 3500HD High Country. A few days ago I went out to move my 5th wheel and found that I do not have any power at the 7 pin connector. I checked and changed the 30A fuse in the fuse box. I have a trailer wire tester that shows all other connections in the 7 pin are working (even the trailer breaks). I have two 7 pin connectors on the truck one in the bed and one on the bumper. Neither of these have the 12v+ power for charging. I am at my wits end with this thing. I am hoping that I can take care of this issue without taking it to the dealer but if not I will have to break down and take it in. Does anyone have any ideas on this issue?

Did you check the panel to see if there was power to that fuse ? 

If the batterys were down on the truck it may have disconnected power to that circuit. 

According to the manual its fuse 63. Does everything else work on the truck ?   I dont have the data but sometimes items are dependent on other circuits that arent obvious.

I have not check to see if there is power to that fuse. I have not noticed anything else that isn’t working. I will check the power to that fuse tomorrow. I knew what fuse it was by the diagram in the panel and the manual. Thank you for your input. I will update once I check the power at the fuse.

Update… I checked the voltage at the fuse. Meter reads 12.7v . I am going to start tracing the harness from the 7pin back to the fuse block today (weather permitting).

Check for continuity between the 12v+ on the plugs in the rear and the fuse. 

I think all of the circuits on the trailer go through a control module towards the back. Its possible theres a malfunction there or a bad connection. Do you know for sure if that circuit has ever worked ?  Its not unheard of to have connector issues where pins dont seat etc.

I know for a fact that it has worked. I have had my 5th wheel connected to it and it worked to operate the landing gear on a couple occasions. I have an appointment with the dealership Monday morning to have them look at it. Its frustrating when I have only had this truck less than three months.

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yes.   Yes.   We might be intermingling ideas with the term 'severity', in one of my past vehicles it could pull up DTC via the vehicles own user interface, at any given time when one would do this there would be an assortment of codes that were 'trivial' including 'communication' issues. This would generate a bunch of, potentially false alerts or some many that they would get ignored. Which you mentioned earlier.    You also mention several things that might be redundant with the vehicles own systems or indicators: The truck has an oil pressure gauge, monitoring it via this other system wouldn't be a priority except in comparison to other values or if there is an actual oil pressure problem.   Same thing for miss-fires or other problems, the MIL already signals the operator to an issue...   ...to the point about what one wants to see first, if there is a miss fire detected, I want to see miss fire counts or fuel trims first, if I have an oil pressure problem I want to see the oil pressure first. So, perhaps the 'systems' that are showing abnormalities are what gets displayed first.   I think your device is what connects at the OBD port, ease of use for the consumer, it could still have a 'pass-through' port for a second scanner, computer, etc.   Yes.   Based on my comment above, if an error appears, the report would be more specific to the system having an error.

      I like the idea.  I thought about putting a deposit a few years ago when they first dropped.  I still want to drive one and have inquired about doing this with them, like a ride and drive event they said they are coming but it hasnt happened even with them built in Indiana.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      That's a tough spot to be in, I personally would question spending 1/2 the book value on a repair vs. selling it as-is.    Presuming you own it out right, sell it for 10k and have a down payment for a replacement truck, or spend 10k on the one you already have...   I still think there is a cheaper transmission out there via recyclers, aftermarket or rebuild. (Cheaper than 5k for the unit)

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Sadly, there's a drought of good 92-95 4.3 cars at junkyards in the area otherwise I would have gone fishing for parts. Not that they don't come up, there's just nothing good in the yards right now.   I tore into the intake yesterday evening, easier than I thought, and I might have this problem licked for cheap. Two of the intake studs came up with the bolt on removal, no big deal but that's why it looks funny with studs only on one side.   There's pooled gas on both sides of the plenum. Highlights boxed in green. Picture-right side has an obviously split pressure line from rubbing on the #5 injector nylon line. #5's line is worn in that spot but not all the way through. Passenger side intake (picture left), not sure, but I think the pressure regulator is hosed. Rebuilt spiders don't come with the pressure and return hoses so I'll need to replace those no matter what. A pressure regulator is $30 so I'll try that and if I end up having to swap the whole spider, it was $30. I'll be grinning ear to ear if that's all I need.   Parts arrive Tuesday.   Sure enough the shop was here before. That's a new gasket. Vacuum lines and wiring are a tangled mess, I sorted that out last night as well. Spent about an hour just picking up general slack and shoddy reassembly around the engine bay. Cheek-pokered the battery tray, got it all cleaned up. Sometimes things just need a little elbow grease and a few minutes of time to be right again.
