Thank you. Just got in a 23 Colorado for a water utility customer wanting warning lights and he requested them to be on this button. I could not find where the single button cut wire was located. Now I can finish this truck to his liking.
@Max-kn9yi what do you mean I didn't connect it? The white wire I pulled through the grommet was connected the the blunt cut blue wire I showed you under the dash. Watch the video all the way through without skipping. That way you won't miss anything.
Do you think I could wire it to turn on the cargo light that is already over the truck bed? I believe the only way to turn that on is through the touchscreen menu.
@@tdmcgill I haven't yet. I'm sure you could t tap that to the cargo light wire. You'll just have to add a relay like in this video. I will have mine set to the switch panel soon. I'll have the bed lights and step lights on that same switch.
OK that was funny. "If you do feel the need to hit the dislike button, make sure you do it twice so I'm doubly aware" HAHAHAHAHAHA I hit the like button twice because that was funny!
I have the power distribution box already installed. I assume they hooked this switch up to that. I can't find much of anything how to attach my ditch lights to that..I don't know much
Can you explain what you mean by "immediately ground off the other side of the light"? If its possible a simple like ms paint wiring diagram would really help.
Planning on retrofitting a garage door opener to the switch. I park outside and have valuables in garage so I'm need a discrete way of opening and closing garage only when car is on
I believe some have been able to get homelink to work. I have my garage door set up on a smart switch and I can literally just tell my phone to open or close the door. Doesn't work with the truck mic but I have a button on my home screen too. Might still be a way to make it work via the button.
Great video! Question: so is it two wires coming off the 87 post? (One for each light) Or is it a single wire off 87 to the passenger side light, and then to the driver side light? With both lights individually grounded.
The latter is true. Your mileage may vary but running a single power wire to the first plus and then continuing to the second plug reduces the amount of wires needed. Just make sure the first run can handle the draw for both lights. Great question.
My ZR2 came with the dealer installed 3 auxiliary buttons installed in the cab under the trailer brake controller. Stupid thing is that option is the buttons only as a part that doesn't include the accessorie power distribution box that goes under the hood to control the auxiliary buttons. That is only another 1000 doller option plus the dealerships install fee. This is a much less expensive option for ditch lights. I'll just ignore the other 3 usless buttons for now. Lol
I just got my Colorado, and found your channel. You’ve been a great help, given me ideas of what I want to do with my truck, how to do some things to my truck. Question did you ever get the leveling kit you were talking about developing, worked out? I’d be very interested in what you had in mind, because I’m not really all that thrilled with most of the leveling kits on the market.z. Thanks and I look forward to your future canyon/Colorado projects.
Congratulations and welcome. Yes. I have more components here on the shelf waiting for my truck to get back from the dealer and then I'll be able to shoot a video. It'll consist of a leveling and lifting heights to accommodate what you guys want to do.
I share the wiring diagram at 2.40. The 86 pin gets connected to the blunt cut wire under the fuse panel. The wire at 6.30 you'll simply splice to the wire off the relay.
@@BadlandIndustriesi saw the fuse integrated fuse in the relay, i just dont understand how it connects to the aux switch 😂(sorry i am a noob) where is the connector for the aux switch
@@JBB212 the aux switch is grounded after the switch. I would assume you would need to fuse the supply. The way I have it wired in the video, currently is still working flawlessly.
They're always powered. If you have the factory ones you just touch the lens if memory serves. These aftermarket LEDs are way brighter than the factory option.
I just wish you could assign a function to the AUX button. Like fog lights, or camera, etc. Something already on the truck so I don't have to go to two or three menus to get to it.
Does it make if I have 2 set of light that I wire both their white trigger wires spliced into that 1 aux ground trigger? That way the aux turns on all 4. Would two relays be needed still? What is the simplest way to go about it?
To clarify. The door sill pops up when using a plastic pry tool and the kick plate panel gets pulled backwards towards the seat to remove? I don’t want to bust clips as it feels like I might with the amount of force I’m putting on them. Thanks for any help man!
So are you using a fuse tap for these lights or are you getting power directly from the blue wire. Because I was under the impression that I needed to pull fuse 41 and install a fuse tap.
My light bar came with it’s own switch. But the switch game with 3 wires. How do I connect the wires to use the trucks aux button instead, if the truck only has 1 wire to connect too?!?
you wont be able to use the new switch and this aux switch. youll need to have a remedial knowledge of how a relay works and you should be able to figure out what the wires do and how they will interact with the circuit i drew on the whiteboard.
@@BadlandIndustries My current Rigid ditch lights have a 3 wire combo to the switch that they provide,.. any idea how I would go ahead with connect these 3 to the one option under the dash?
So, I am a little confused. After watching several times. The inside switch functions as an on off ground,? I run the ground wire to that factory aux switch, power with an inline fuse to my light ? Is the relay needed? Also what wire and where did you connect under the dash to make the aux switch work.
It is only a trigger wire and not intended to handle the entire load of whatever light you install. If you watched it several times and missed the little wire, you may want to watch the video without skipping around. At 6.40 I show you the exact wire to splice to. It's just a little wire oddly sticking out of the loom with a rubber cover on it. You'll have to look around to find it.
@@BadlandIndustriesI’ll need a relay then? And I saw the blue wire, I thought that was something else you had going on Power to the 2 relay points, Run power to lights, ground lights separate, run ground from relay to ground switch in truck, should make lights work
@@chadm6805 that blue wire is the ground. If you build the relay how I have it in the whiteboard diagram it'll work perfectly. This way there's no load on that blue wire and the relay is handling the light.
I’m wiring this up today to some rock lights with no luck. Everything wired how you have it but doesn’t seem like I’m getting a signal to the device through the red wire.
What rock lights did you get? Double check your relay pin numbers with the way you have it wired. Disregard the wire colors. 85 and 86 should be touching the positive to the battery and the wire under the dash. 30 should also be on the positive battery and your 87 goes to the positive of your rock lights. Then you simply need to ground the wire off your rock lights.
Yeah I had it wired that way. My issue may be that these are RGB rock lights with a control board. The wiring came plug n play not with open wire ends. I have a single wire with 4pin lead to the device. I wanted to splice into it but I want to be 100% sure I needed to and how to wire it before I do so. Any suggestions with the 4 pin plug wire?
I have the same thing with my mictunung rock lights. those turn on and off with the button but i can use an app to change them. in order to help you I need to understand what kit you're running.
Hey man quick question, I noticed you took wire 86 and wired that to the ground trigger wire (to the switch) in the foot well. However, according to the relay's diagram on Amazon, it says wire 85 should go to the ground trigger source. They then have 86 going to battery, so I guess you swapped 86 and 85. Does this matter? I am also not very knowledgeable in wiring and all that, just wanted to see if you could shed some light.
85 and 86 are the opposite sides of the coil. If you energize one side you have to ground the other. Doesn't matter which. Energize one side off the battery and connect the other side to the blue wire. When you hit the aux switch it grounds out making connection inside the relay.
The aux beam video was uploaded after this one. I used this aux button to be able to turn on and off the panel so that I didn't have the blue power light on all the time. Since this aux button is not ignition dependent I can turn on all of my lights whether or not the truck is on or off now. For those who only want one set of lights this is a great solution.
I don't have that issue. The cowls on these trucks were definitely installed poorly. Theres metal clips you can replace the plastic ones to keep the cowl wings attached.
So I wired it all up like you, but the switch will not power my light bar. I connected the other switch that came with the harness and it works fine. The light bar draws 16 amps, any chance that switch couldn’t handle it and that’s why it won’t work? I don’t have any real electrical knowledge, I just followed the video. Thanks!
I was just going to take my Colorado to get my 40 inch light bar from GM and have them do it and apparently “it needs a code through GM” to access that aux button.
Maybe I'm not getting it..... I need to see the wire (ground) that the "AUX" switch has to run to the negative side of the relay ? Am I missing it in your video?
So I have the Desert Boss with the winch, power distribution box, and 3 button separate aux panel… problem here is Chevy and my dealer refuse to switch the buttons around to my liking… winch is on aux 1 and light bars are on the massive aux flip switch under the main infotainment screen. How easy would it be for me to move these? Winch to large aux flip switch and my light bars to aux 1?
One more thing, while adding additional lights to the power distribution box, do I need to be adding a in line fuse and new relay (relay / fuse box better idea) for each additional lighting upgrade?
I cant find them anymore. Also my driver side is noticeably dimmer than the passenger. I need to find some leds to mod the other cubes so I don't strobe white/red and get in trouble.
Im getting an earlier model ZR2 sports bar that has KC lights on it. I plan on using this switch to power those. Just hope the brake light plug is compatible to the new model.
@@BadlandIndustries that's what was confusing me... I saw the white board and saw you plug the white cord to the blue cord under the dash but after that I was lost on what got plugged up where... I was waiting for you to go over it again... 🤣 It will probably make sense and sink it after I watch the video a couple more times, I'm more of a visual learner and have to watch someone actually doing something to get it to sink in... Those schematics and someone telling me pin numbers and all that just confuses me unless I watch it back 5 or 6 times 😂 in the end you did a good job on the video! You're actually the first person I've seen who actually SHOWS how to connect that button up... Everyone else just tells you that it's a button that GM put in and you can only use it by buying a GM factory harness and getting them to put it on at the dealership lol
@styxx0500 you really need a basic understanding of 12v to tackle something like this. I wanted to explain the why or how vs saying hook the blue wire to the white wire since I'm sure someones only going to have pink wire then just get further confused lol. We're simply sending power to the coil of the relay 85/86 and then off the the blue wire under the dash. The coil doesn't care which side is the battery or which side is the ground/negative. This is just the simplest way I can wire something like this up. Maybe I should cut this up to make a short and really cut out all the other stuff in the video.
@@BadlandIndustries I figured, however you should start with that, video comes across like it’s just so you are able to flip between the colour of lights, you should have made the video from scratch in my opinion. Really do appreciate the content just seems a little unclear!
@MrPetyz I see that. The point of the video is you can use that one switch (and certain lights) to increase the functionality without needing to install the $500 gm upfitter relay box or even the auxbeam switch panel to control multiple lights. 1 switch, one light multiple modes gives you the cheapest install with the most functionality
@BadlandIndustries no i hit LIKE brother. It just made me laugh because it would remove the dislike hitting it twice... lol I liked the video because it gave me an is about what I want to put on my AUX button. So ty 🙏
I love diy’ers. All those wires hanging everywhere, not routing wires clean, poking holes with knives, buying anything on Amazon to save a dollar on Chinese garbage, so sloppy. 😂

The Auxiliary switch is for the light bar from the factory on the Desert Boss.
They likely hooked it up just like this.
I have the power distribution box already installed. I assume they hooked this switch up to that. I can't find much of anything how to attach my ditch lights to that..I don't know much
You will have to add pins to the connector on the side of the upfitter distribution box.
Can you explain what you mean by "immediately ground off the other side of the light"? If its possible a simple like ms paint wiring diagram would really help.
Ground it as close to the light as your can. No sense adding unnecessary wiring.

The bed plug is powered when the vehicle is on. The aux button is seperate of that system.
Blue wire with heat shrink was there from factory?
Yessir. It's called out in the factory wire diagrams.
Mine worked well. Then after a day or so it cut out. Where is the fuse for this?
Did you use the blue wire under the dash to send the load of the lights? It's meant only for the trigger wire.

@adamstafford6801 and you powered both the leg side and coil side of the relay. Take a look again at the white board wiring diagram.

Light bar is great for straight on and the ditch are great for local light off to the sides. Just depends on what you need the light for.

Just like a few of these A$$ Hat companies want $200-$400 for a $70 pair of rubber mud flaps!
Yea you just gotta be a little wary these days.

It’s called the poverty button because, you’ll pay enough to GM for the use of this button to send you into poverty!😅😂😂🤣🤣
Yep. I figured it out on the cheap.
I love diy’ers. All those wires hanging everywhere, not routing wires clean, poking holes with knives, buying anything on Amazon to save a dollar on Chinese garbage, so sloppy. 😂
