110 Ac Outlet

Philcriv · June 7, 2019

What's up all. First time poster here and first time Silverado owner.

Just picked up my 19 Silverado RST and I'm loving it.

Unfortunatly it did not come with the auxillary 110 outlet in the front dash and I desperately need one for my laptop. Turns out I was able to find the plug online and it's installed with the factory wiring that was there, however as expected it's not working. I figured it wasn't that simple. As far as I can see, there are fuses present for everything labeled auxillary AC power.

Any one have any idea what the next step might be? Do I need to buy a stock invertor also?

Or is it just mission impossible? I asked my dealer and they made it sound like it was only possible as a factory installed option.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yes you'll need the fuses for that circuit and an inverter to convert the power to AC.

Where'd you buy the oem plug? I was thinking about doing this as well.

It's part number 22854091. Got mine off ebay.

Any leads on the invertor part #? Or even a how to?

You could just do something like this
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=dc+to+ac+inverter&crid=3LABDMDLNA48C&sprefix=DC+to+AC+%2Caps%2C218&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_4_9

Would be a lot cheaper I'm sure.

Would be a lot cheaper I'm sure.

Then, run a small feed line from this inverter to your factory outlet if you want the built in look. Switching should be done carefully as you only want inverter running when the engine is on to avoid draining truck battery.

It would just be easier to get a power supply that plugs into the cigarette lighter that powers your laptop. And I would think would be more efficient.

I have a switch that turns my plug active. (setup from the factory. I did not add this myself)

Any luck with this? I want to add the power adapter as well.

Doubt it'll be something easy to do since you also need that special button on the dash to turn them on. But if anyone knows... I'd be interested as well hahah
