    Finally Detailed new to me Tahoe

    No interior pics handy but nothing special in there other than the PO had Husky liners everywhere. I replaced the stock wheels with these, they were the 8 hole chrome clad 17" Silverado wheels. Just bought them off C-list, sanded and painted them black and installed the Bridgestones. With the...

    Finally Detailed new to me Tahoe

    Finally detailed my new Tahoe from December of last year. Sprayed down at a car wash and used Meguiars NXT along with some other basic products outside and inside. Made a big difference there was a lot of road grime. Anyuway, thought I'd share a pic. its very clean. Also replaced the shocks...

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    Well, it turned out once everything was connected, the switch needed to be wired opposite from its markings. The switch was not turning the power off but turning the power on to ground and blowing the in line fuse from the battery to the switch. So when I turned off the lights after testing them...

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    Yes thats it! I think its probably the ground for the lights themselves assuming everything is working correctly.

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    OK, so here'w what we have so far. The relay was not correctly wired and my main ground off the relay was weak. The ground for the lights and the switch were good. So, re wired the relay and established a better ground and it was great. While doing so, the inline fuse from the switch to the...

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    I just spoke with my electrical engineering friend. I'm taking it all to his house. He said the same thing about the grounding. I'll post a final update later this week.

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    Interesting. I have each light grounded to the light bar-I drilled a hole and put in a screw for each. Maybe too much paint around them? I will sandwich the connection in washers to be sure. The relay has a ground to a metal screw near the fuse box. I will be sure that metal to metal as well...

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    Well, now that you mention I just did! I did connect the light power wire to the positive terminal-lights did not turn on.

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    The relay has a digram on the side of it. I think I have those connections right. One of the issues mentioned in that diagram link is to not fuse together the 12v from the switch and the 12v from the relay. This is in effect what I have done as they are both in the + terminal and are in contact...

    Fog Light Frustration with wiring

    OK, so I bought the HF fog lights and a small light bar to mount them on, got those mounted and went to work on the wiring. I used a relay and bought a new three prong switch to use. OK, so I have the relay, from which goes one line to the positive battery, one goes to the lights, one goes to...

    Looking for Pics of White Tahoe 4dr

    I am looking for pictures of a white 4 dr Tahoe that are on this board, and the owner uses a great photo of it in his signature, but now that I'm looking for them I can't find them...Anyone know who it is? It is similar to the direction I'm going with the white Tahoe i just bought.

    New Unit-Keep CD Player?

    OK so I'm installing a new stereo in my Tahoe. I'm using the same one I put in my Sierra-its a Pioneer Bluetooth stereo with no CD player. My Tahoe has the CD player instead of the cubby space. I figured I would just remove the CD player and install the open cubby. Then I wondered, if the...

    My old truck and my new Tahoe

    I've been a member for a bot and have been lurking without commenting, as I have had a 96 GMC C1500 SCSB for a while. I recently picked up a 1999 Tahoe LT as well. High miles but very clean. I really wanted a 2 door, but those are few and far between and often times they are modded too much. I...

    New Member, 1996 GMC C1500 SBSC

    Greetings, new member. Just detailed my truck last weekend. I use a decent soap followed up with Meguairs NXT Tech Paste. Didn't clean the wheels and tires yet though. Anyway, I will be reading up on some threads. My truck is a '96 with the 5.0L. Bought in 2011 with 118K, now has 151K. In that...
