Hello,

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 w/the bosse system. Im in the proses of installing my system and bypassing the bosse. I got my nav installed and working but i cant seem to find the Speed sensor wire the nav will work with out it but its nice to have hooked up. So my question is there a wire in the main radio plug & if so what is the color of the wire. Also does any one know were i can find a wire for the reverse lites.

 

 

 

Thanks for any help

 

Mike

do you have onstar? you did say bose right? and what about xm? anyhow. behind your radio you should have two harnesses. a large one which feeds power and what not to your HU, then a small one which is genereally your onstar, xm, and stuff. if you have this harness look at it from the back from where the wires go into the harness and you should see 4 letters on each corner. one will say F i believe. and in the E position of this harness should be your VSS! now if you happen to not have a vss there then you will have to get it at either the gauge cluster or at the BCM which is going to be a box in front of the drivers side headlight. and if your trucks wiring is like mine an 03, then the color you should be looking for is a green with white stripe. are you installing a factory nav or an aftermarket? i get so many people doing the factory nav i forget people are doind aftermarket too. now the reverse wire on your should be beneath the steering column. you will have to take off the cover below the steering column, you should see mabe 4 or 5 harnesses there different colors. i think the one you need will be in the balck harness, and i think its the light blue wire. but not 100% positive. but it is in the black harness. just test them and youll find it. its not hard. umm. does that about cover it? alright good luck then!

hello

 

I dont have onstar or XM :) so i'll have to get it from the Cluster when i pull out the cluster and look at the connector there are 3 green/white wires there you dont happen to know the pin loc. Im Installing an after market Alpine IVA-W200 & NVE-N872A system from my old truck

 

 

Thanks

It is pin A4(4th from the end), green/white at the cluster...

 

 

 

 

When you say at the cluster, are you refering to the gauge cluster wiring harness?

 

Stupid question I know but I am new to GM trucks...

Another related topis here----

I have installed the lux-NAV into my 05 Sierra Denali and after a while -figgured out that I HAVE NO VSS WIRE....

 

OK- so i find on here the schematics for an xl denali showing the nav but funny the sierra deanli does not show it at all...

 

I know that I am looking for a drk green with with white stripe and that I may need to pick up on it from cluster or somewhere else.

 

I need a schematic of the instrument cluster connector and/or more details on the VSS splice. Also, what and /or where do i need to do about back-up and wiring

 

 

2nd note---my direction/heading "circle/arrow" on Nav always points 1 direction. does fixing VSS issue fix this too?

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
