Seeking help hard-wiring a dash cam into '24 LT Trail Boss

I have a VIOFO A129 dash cam that I would like to hard-wire into my new truck. I had it hard-wired in my 2019 RAM previously and it worked great.

 

I can figure out how to run the wire as it is similar to my RAM. But I don't know what fuses to tap into. My wiring harness is for the Micro2 Blade Fuses. Previously I had it tapped into fuse that is powered all the time and a fuse that is powered only when ignition is on or in accessory. Can someone please help direct me to what fuses I should use.

Most tap F26 as the switched / accessory which requires a micro 3 fuse tap (amazon). The constant power can be F8, but the issue with that fuse is that the power is running on the right lead which makes placing the fuse tap in the proper orientation very difficult as it gets pinched next to that big adapter in the middle.

 

I tapped fuse F42 as the constant as it allows proper orientation of the fuse tap (power is also on the right lead).

I tapped into F32 for the "keyed" accessory wire and F26 for my constant hot wire. Both require the micro 3 fuse tap. I did this both in my 2022 (refresh) and my current 2024 trucks. Both worked great.

Unfortunately, I didn't see the above posts before resolving it today.

 

I used fuse F42 (Electronic Park Brake Switch) 10-amp Micro2 as my constant.

 

Using a circuit tester F26 (USB Ports/Special Equipment option Retained Accessory Power) 10-amp was the only fuse switched. It also uses the 3 prong fuse however the fuse harness I got on Amazon didn't fit. I had to use a file to shave down the edges all around to fit in the fuse slot. Once I did that it work.

 

Hopefully this will help anyone else with a 2024 Silverado.

Not sure if your 2024 will have different fuse locations. But I used F3 for constant power and F20 for keyed power, from the passenger side interior fuse panel.

 

Here is my install video for a Blackvue DR900X-plus. Hope it helps...

The 2022 (refresh) + trucks are different than the pre-refresh trucks. There are 2 post above showing which fuse locations for the refresh trucks.

With your key off use test light to find B+ on both side of a fuse this will be your power all the time. Next up your test light to find B+ when you turn the power on. This fuse will have power on one side but not the other side, until you turn on the key . Then it will have power on both sides of the fuse. Your ground will be to any good metal surface that is under your dash or around the fuse box. And the you ready to go. I would use a add a circuit to both B+ use the same amp fuse that was originally in that spot

Did you not read the thread? It’s already been resolved. 

 

Also F3 and F20 are dead on the new Silverados.

No I didn’t read it all, still good info for someone. Thanks

Can you provide a picture of the fuse box with the taps? Also, you said f26 was your constant. I thought that was the switched.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
