So went to the salvage yard and pulled out the GM option Power Adjustable Pedals;

I got everything I think I"ll need:

Both pedals w/motors
Bracket that bolts to firewall
All wiring UNCUT w/ORANGE BCM plug
Little Icon button that mounts center dash



Im thinking I can unhook my current harness under the defrost vent in the upper dash, replace it with this new harness and plug this directly into the BCM and maybe it will work like that?

The dealer said they didn't know if they could reprogram the BCM is it was needed.

If not I could just bypass all the truck wiring and wire it independent, but how would I go about this?

Just wire it with a button or toggle to a 12V. Screw the BCM and all that jazz.

That's dangerous thinking there, guy. Next thing you know he'll be pulling the kind of shit I do...

LOL wut

LOL wut

Go to youtube and search for The Red Green Show. That's pretty much how I do stuff.

Today I modified a toolbox to fit between my rails. It was too wide for my TracRac rails. I cut it then used vise grips and a claw hammer to bend stuff into place, then screwed it together. Tomorrow I'll spraypaint it, silicone around the screws, and be done.

I've also been known to run wires around the firewall instead of through it...

 

[08RCSB]

Oh okay you got me thinking what in the world would be wrong with a 12V switched?!

 

[Javage]

Ya it would probably be simpler/easier to wire into the factory switch, but how would I wire the relays(if needed) and what-not?

Also I was wondering since I have the complete harness if it would be plug-n-play like the DIC/Mirror mods some guys are doing?

 

[08RCSB]

Isint the switch supposed to go under the radio where that cubby hole is?

 

[Jameson]

Damn I never thought about this :hmm: ..But I really dont need midget pedals

 

[Javage]

Heres a pic to help:

One guy at the salvage yard said the pedals move back ~3" further than stock in his 09 Duramax, dealer tech said they move forward. . .?

I have the factory switch too.

 

[08RCSB]

Okay, I say nevermind my idea it looks like OEM would be best. I thought you just had a few wires coming out and were going to have to solder them, but you have the whole plug and switch.

Fo sho, its easy to pull the entire harness out of a truck that you can tear up. And it only cost me $50.


But will my BCM accept all this?

Dealer couldn't give me a certain answer, don't wanna fry anything trying.

 

[Jameson]

what kinda truck did you pull these from?

 

[Javage]

08 Sierra (LTZ equivalent)

 

[08RCSB]

Only way to find out is do it. I would think a switch like that wouldn't need programming but hey if it does do my first suggestion.

 

[theholycow]

Would it be expensive to get the BCM from the donor truck?

I'd try plugging everything in without mounting it, and see if it operates. That will tell you with a minimal investment of effort.

Its not just a switch. . . its a entire new option, I might call some out of state dealers tomorrow and see if they can help.

And as obvious as that statement sounds, I never thought about that- I was going to mount everything then worry about wiring:drunk:

BCM would probably run me 50-75 if I had to guess, and that truck doesn't have the same options as mine- sunroof, power rear glass, homelink, etc. . .so Im not sure that would work.

 

[08RCSB]

Exactly why I was thinking simple toggle or button.

^If it comes down to that the stock pedal switch is a rocker style, how would it need to be wired?
