Here are the pics I promised of the wires at the fuse block for the fog lamp kit on the GMT900 Silverado

All pics are hosted on Photobucket, I am sorry if like me at work you cant view them. Get back to work!! LOl!!

 

Fuse block note the small gauge clean wire loom roing to the front of the cover. This is the power supply single wire for the foglamps

Pull the cove off and lift the gray handles like so. The fuse block will lift straight up revealing the wire junction connectors beneath

ChevFoglamps011x.jpg

 

This is the junction block connectors under the fuse block. The bottom left light gray connector is the one that needs pulled. The single purple wire is the power wire

ChevFoglamps012x.jpg

 

Another pic, same connector removed showing the purple wire again

ChevFoglamps013x.jpg

 

the point of my special GM pointing tool shows where the terminal goes with the connector in place. The red slides on the side of the connector need to be removed before you insert the terminal. they are the 'Position Assurance Locks' that keep all the terminal firmly seated. just slide them out the side of the connector with a small flat screwdriver or pick.

Once installed, they look and perform exactly like trucks that have them equipped from the factory. For color comparison, my low beams are PIAA bulbs now, the fogs have the stock bulb. Its not a normal bulb, it looks more like an Osram style bulb. It puts out quite a bit of light. focal pattern is good for stock lamps, you can see how close to the truck it lights up.

The power wire just needs to be run to the accessories and grounded. Once done, the fog lamp switch will automatically power the circuit, no programming required. As an added bonus, the fog lamp indicator on the dash will come on too. Let me know if anyone needs more pics or if I can answer any more questions!

I am thinking of installing a kit in my 09 Sierra. From what you write it doesn't sound like it's to big of a job. Did you purchase the GM kit, if so how much was it? Thans ahead of time for the info.

yes I purchased the GM kit, but since I work there I wont post the price.. I dont know how much the Sierra kit would run, or how much more or less it would be to install it. one piece bumper vs 1000 piece on the Chevy. What were they thinking!?!?

 

From what I can tell, on the Sierra, you already have the pockets for the lamps. I personally would find a nice set of projectors and fab up mounting in the existing holes, make a single wire power harness and get the foglamp ready headlamp switch and go to town.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I installed my fog light kit over the weekend on my '08 Silverado. Everything was going just fine, until the wiring. I couldn't get the power wire to snap in place on the block. I remembered your post, looked at it again. It was the red slider that I needed to remove. The GM instructions did not mention that. Thanks again

For my sierra, I bought the light switch (D1500J) from Amazon (AC-direct) for $41. The lights are available on ebay for about $35 each plus shipping, for both shipped it is $90. I ended up using a 5" aftermarked lights from foglightking on ebay because they are metal and better bulbs for about $60 and used the wiring from that kit to the fuse block. All I needed to know was where to hook up in the fuse block and Rolling provided that with the pictures. All works great. Thanks.

I am currently doing this mod on a 2009 GMC Sierra....when I lift the grey handles, all the block connectors remain attached to the fuse block....I can only lift it up 2". Any help will be appreciated....Thanks

HELP! 2010 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 4X4

First post. Just installed the "1 x Silverado 1500 Fog Lamps, Clear Lens, 24 Watt, Black (41U) (19170441)" kit from ShopChevyParts.com. I tested the entire circuit with a multimeter and everything seems fine, however when i turn on the fog lamp switch the marker lights and the green light in the cluster comes on but not the fog lamps. I called the dealer and they said the computer needs flashed. Any suggestions?

Nowhere in the instructions does it say to flash the module. I would guess there is a ground that needs some attention. Where did you attach the fog lamp harness to the frame?

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
