I don’t have +12VDC on pin 4 (AUX 12 V Charging) on my new 2024 HD. I didn’t realize until I recently purchased a new cargo trailer with inside lighting. All other turn and brake lights work fine. Trailer works fine on a buddies older truck. Am I missing something?  I realize the truck is smart enough to not apply signals if no trailer is connected but everything works except I don’t seem to get power to run the inside lights. I found a fuse #84 for ‘TRLR BATT (30A)’ which seems fine. Ideas?  I have apt at dealer in a couple weeks but any earlier help appreciated.

What is your definition of "seems fine"?

Did you use a test light on both sides, ohm'ed it out, continuity test or replaced with know good fuse?

These trucks with advanced trailering will only send power if it recognizes that a trailer is attached.  

Are you referring to the 2024? My 21, 22 and 23 with advanced trailering, the 12v+ at the bumper 7way and in the bed are hot at all times.

This is a 2024 truck. I only continuity tested the fuse. Trailer is attached but the inside trailer lights that are not getting 12v. Have not tried to inspect the wiring harness.  Does anyone’s 2024 work?

I blew that fuse, I think due to a faulty Furrion trailer camera adapter at one point.  That was the only time I didn't have constant 12v to my 7 way.  Just checked again and I have power now.  Truck been parked for over an hour.  Have you verified this with a DMM?

Fixed. Embarrassing. I thought the fuse was good but it obviously was not.

 

Thanks for the update.

Same, my '21 is Hot at all times. I used this feed for a cargo light override switch.

Fix for 2024 Chevy/GM 3500 HD Diesel Trailer Braking Problems (w/5th Wheel)
 

Turn off the battery disconnect on your 5th Wheel Trailer to stop electrical backfeed from trailer. Braking should then work. It worked for us.

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

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      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?
