Does anyone know if any of the body or side mirror cameras use the same type of wire connection as the accessory trailer camera?

I found out the grille camera is way different so before I take any more of the truck apart, I thought I would ask.

I checked continuity of the trailer camera harness and it has proper continuity so I want to plug the trailer camera into a similar plug on the truck and see if the camera has puked before I spend money on a replacement.

All of the truck cameras use FAKRA connectors. The trailer camera connection is different, but I don’t know what that connector type is called.

Digging into this further, the trailer accessory camera replacement PN shows that it is used in both side mirrors and the rear view camera in the tailgate.  I accessed the camera in the tailgate and it does use the same connection as the trailer camera.  A quick substitution of cameras and the trailer camera I have works fine.  So now, I'm left with either the trailer harness is broken or something with the trailer app in the infotainment center.  I'm thinking the harness is intermittently opening up.  Does any GM parts guys know if the trailer camera harness is available as a separate PN?

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
