No. Something else...not sure what as 2 year olds aren't that good at explaining their woes.

Lucky you;) I wasn't about to spend $400 on the DVD (I tried a group buy with friends/family, but everyone said "It's a new truck, why would I need a FSM?"). Now, I just carry around 20lbs of paper with me everywhere I drive.

I prefer to have at least one set of lights available when the ignition is off - I hate the chimes and sometimes at night it's nice to have some serious light.

That said, you should be able to manually wire the relay from an open ACC/IGN position on the fusebox. I can't remember what # I used, but there are quite a few available switched spots - just run a (12+ gauge) wire from the fuse box to the power input on the relay (ignore the schematic) - the switch in the cab would work, but the relay would have no power unless the switch was on.

I am at home now and would have to look but I do know for a fact that roof mounted lights are on a "HOT" circuit but the Grille mounted lights are on a "Ign. on HOT" cicuit. I do not know why GM made one hot all the time and not the other or vis-versa but they did. If you want it to be keyed hot all you would have to do is switch the wire in the fuse box from the roof light terminal to the grille lights terminal..before you ask I do not have that info with me but can find out or someone esle on here might have it available..

Chris,

Are you sure the grille lights are not wired off the low beam headlights ie- the headlights have to be on to turn the grill lights on? Sometimes aux lights switch are fed this way.

Re: WARNING - H3 Off Road Lights - Possible Fire Hazard
 

Grille lights are controlled by the BCM, which in turn controls the RAP circuit. You could do some rewiring from the roof to the grille, but it would be more than one wire.
Roof has one wire coming out of the fuse box; whereas, the grille has two wires; not counting the BCM control circuit for the RAP relay.
It would be easier to do some cutting and butting of wires, than trying to rewire the roof lights to be the same as grille lights.

And we should close down the trails that are getting all torn up by 4 wheelers and bikers. Save the forest for our children! (unless they get all burnt up by leaving you light covers on and starting the city on fire) then we can keep the trails open :D

If I leave the stove on, a candle lit, or the Iron on, and it burns my house down, who can I blame? :rolleyes:

Really, thanks for the heads up! I always like it when I can learn from someone elses mistake. God knows I make enough of my own!:o
