Overhead Console

[pgamboa]

Phil, have you seen if there are any differences if the truck has the Snow Plow Package.  I know there is a relay to run the beacon lighting on the Snow Plow Package up there.  I was in a 2015 Denali 3500 with the Snow Plow Package and noticed it did not have HomeLink or sliding rear window.  I've noticed newer snow plow trucks still don't have the sliding rear window but I haven't been able to verified if they have HomeLink or not.  The HomeLink only require power and ground correct unless they changed it over the years so it don't see why it'd be hard to add it anyways, even with the Snow Plow Package unless I am missing something.

Off hand, i don’t know. For the beacon lighting, how is that switched? I’ve come across a headlight switch that has an extra button for an “Up Light”. I presume this switch is for the lights that can be added to roll bars. I have ordered with plans to test the output and incorporate it for other uses.

this is basically it except i have the garage door openers and sliding back window on mine, robbed this pic off goggle

 

i took my overhead console stuff apart in my '14 when i 'blued' my interior lights/switches.

 

check out the pic below - it's not a great pic of the light you are referring to - but it will give you an idea (circled in the background)

That's cool as I have never seen that switch before.  I'm definitely curious on that so keep us posted. 

 

The beacon light on the overhead console and is a similar switch like the sliding rear window or sunroof switches.

Phil, I got to thinking, is that switch for vehicles with the automatic high-beams like the Escalades if not for the rollbar lights.

As a standard HomeLink is removed with snow plow prep option.  It has been a point I have been making with the local dealer as I want HomeLink and everything they order has snow plow prep.  The sales manage is too dense to realize that it matters to some people.

So you could change out that single bulb instead of buying a whole new piece? Any idea what size bulb it is?

if i remember correctly the bulb is soldered to a circuit board

 

i'm sure you could swap it out (i changed a whole bunch of surface mount LEDs in my dash) - i just don't have a clue as to where you'd find a new LED. 

 

i don't know what size the LED was but it was pretty small  (smaller than the surface mount LEDs in my dash)

This switch came out when roll bars came for 2016+. I’ll be on vacation next week, so I may not be able to test it until I return. But @Tinkering Fox is also testing this switch too and may get to it before I can.

Wow, that looks great.  I have been looking for a switch for a couple cube LEDs that I want to mount on my truck but could never find anything that looked "stock."  this looks perfect.  Once you test it let me know what you find.

Phil,

 

What is the p/n for this switch?  I will be adding some Putco Dayliners to the front of my truck and wanted to wire them to a switch like this.  I saw this switch in previous threads about the lights on the sport bar package but haven't been able to locate the part number.

 

Will be following this so I can see what else the switch can control!

I have a 2014 SLT and all the interior lights are LED including the over head console.

Not the little reading light in the overhead console
