2019 1500 Missing Theft Fuses?

[ecutti]

I purchased a one owner 2019 Sierra 1500 crew cab back in May, so far so good zero issues out of the thing. I just got a dash cam and was checking out the cabin fuse panels to decide where I wanted to pull power for the thing from and upon removing the driver side cover panel I’ve noticed I am missing both the K7 Relay (THEFT) and the F8 Fuse (RSE/THEFT DTRNT). The cover panel is missing one of its clips so I can safely assume someone’s been in here before. Why might the previous owner or someone who’s serviced the truck in the past remove these components?

if you look at the fuse panel, there is no connector in the k7, so i dont think you are missing anything

Intentionally missing.  The boxes are typically set up for all possible configurations of these and for other countries as well so there are provisions for options and features that are there but aren't used.

 

There aren't any pins in either of those relay spots, and the theft schematics verify that those relays aren't used.

Just noticed the lack of pins myself when I went to look at it again.

 

Just confused me why it was labeled but not present, while the other fuse locations which lack pins are labeled as "NOT USED"

 

Thanks for the info!
