I'm trying to install this: https://boostautoparts.com/products/2019-newer-gm-charging?options=&year=2019&make=GMC&model=Sierra 1500

 

And before I went ahead and made permanent mods to the trip pieces (drill holes) I decided to try charging my phone before I put it back together and it wouldn't work.  Further troubleshooting and neither of my accessory/cigarette lighters function, front or back.  All other USB outlets seem to function just fine.

 

This particular device plugs into the accessory/cigarette lighter wiring hardness in back, underneath the two cup holders.

 

Anyway, tried a meter and couldn't get any voltage at either so went hunting for the fuse(s).  Found this site (https://www.startmycar.com/us/gmc/sierra/info/fusebox/2019/gen-g5) which seems to explain it well and seems to match my manual but for the life of me, nothing I try works.

 

The manual and the website seem to indicate that F28 could be it, but what I have (passenger side/front/front) doesn't match what I find when I open it up.

It's close, but not the same, but still empty.

If I flip this around and look at the other side, there's 4 more that seem to match the diagram at least.

I don't have fuses/breakers in the bottom 2 slots there which seem to might be for 2021+, but the top 2 I pulled out, tested continuity, and they are fine.  Close up shot of them:

Am I even in the right ball park here?  Anyone else able to check their truck to see if I'm supposed to have the bottom 2 slots filled up?  I tried moving the breakers from the top 2 to the bottom 2 and it didn't change anything I could notice.

 

If I'm supposed to have something in F28 in my first picture, it's 3 prongs and doesn't look like what's in my manual.

Have you checked your owner's manual?  You can see it online at mygmc.com if you don't have the printed copy.

 

On page 359, it shows the fuse panel layout for F27/F28.  It is a 2 prong fuse that you shift left/right if you want RAP power or not. 

 

On page 360, it shows circuit breakers.  CB2 is for the cigarette lighter.

Yep, I have.  You hit the nail on the head of what I'm struggling with here. 

 

I guess I didn't consider it was a 2 prong fuse that shifted position.  It's absent in my first image though so I need to try and source that part, but I also don't know which cigarette lighter it's referring to as there's 2 of them.  One on the front dash, and one in the rear.  

 

What does RAP power stand for ?

 

EDIT: Retained Accessory Power, got it.  Does that mean "On" when in Accessory mode?

 

Trying to find the amperage and a model number of the fuse I need but struggling.

I checked my truck.  I have a 50 amp fuse for F27.  After some research, I found the part number is 22917200.

Thank you so much!  I saw 50 on an older truck for what I think it the same thing but just felt awfully high for what it's feeding so was worried I'd eventually damage something.  This makes me feel good about the choice.

 

Thanks again for the help!

    • Not sure about DFM tech but i know there's a stop/start deactivation button. 
    • I could be interested if they axed cylinder deactivation and at least have a button for stop start. I’m sure the HP numbers will be higher. I would want a longer warranty to help build confidence. I’m a less is more guy as I get older. A V-8 work truck model would be my choice. I know a few outfitters for custom additions I prefer. 
    • It's official. GMC pulled the covers off the next-gen 2027 Sierra 1500, and we got the first official look. Full breakdown here: https://www.gm-trucks.com/next-gen-2027-gmc-sierra-1500-v8-trim-changes/   The quick hits: SLE and SLT are dead. The new core retail trim is just called "Elevation". Two new V8s, a 5.7L and a 6.6L built with high-performance Corvette architecture roots. No horsepower or torque numbers yet. The 2.7 TurboMax finally ditches the old gearbox and gets the 10-speed automatic. AT4X moves to larger standard 35-inch tires with front and rear e-lockers, Multimatic DSSV dampers, and heavy-duty Jounce Control Dampers. Over 60 inches of combined display on Denali Ultimate and AT4X, complete with a motorized articulating center screen and an adaptive passenger screen. Seven simplified trims across the entire model line to clean up ordering confusion.   So let's get into it: New 5.7L and 6.6L gas V8s with custom active exhaust tuning and a Corvette connection. Is this the exact engine lineup half-ton traditionalists have been begging for? Purging the iconic SLE and SLT names after all these years to lean entirely on Elevation as the high-volume core. Bold move, or a mistake? That motorized articulating 16.3-inch screen that slides up to reveal a hidden dashboard vault. Awesome mechanical theater, or does it make you nervous about long-term durability? Physically lowering the headlamps in the front fascia to improve road courtesy and stop blinding oncoming traffic. Smart real-world engineering, or does it hurt the truck's aggressive stance? What trim are you putting your name down for on day one? Drop your first impressions below.  
    • My overnight hospital stay turned into five.  I developed a post operative fever and an erratic  heart rate.  A blood clot in the lungs was the culprit.  This is apparently a common post surgical complication and easily remedied.   I was the youngest in a four bed ward and a Doctor with a Geriatric specialization was in charge of my care.  All of the nurses were good and some were outstanding at dealing with old people.  It was very evident that my age triggered a different level of care!  My advice to any senior going for a hospital stay is to have a trusted family member advocate visible.  If not, you will still be well cared for, but you may discover that your voice  isn't as strong as it once was!
