I have a 2003 chevy silverado ss with a bose system and it lost all sound I just bought a new touch screen sound storm radio and I am wondering if I should buy the harness kit and run it through the amp and see if it works or bypass the amp and I was also trying to find out about a steering wheel controls adapter for the bose to a sound storm can you help? anyone know?
Steven, yes this is the correct stereo wiring. The 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 brake wire is located at the emergency brake. The 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 reverse wire is the light green wire and is pin F in the black plug at the BCM module. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 stereo installation.
I have a 2003 silverado 2500 hd is this used as the same diagram? Also I wired it using this diagram and I have 3 wires not used its a brake wire reverse wire and illuminate wire. What do I use those wires for? Or where would I hook them up too?
Brad, first double check ALL your fuses and make sure ALL your fuses are good. You can do this by using an Automotive Fuse Tester
and making sure all of your fuses are not blown. If all of your fuses are good, check your after market radio connections behind your head unit. If all your wire connections are good, take a look at your battery terminals wires. Sometimes when your 2004 GMC Sierra battery wire terminals are not in full contact with battery posts because of corrosion, your radio could cut in and out. Try removing your battery wire terminals from the battery, clean them with a battery terminal cleaner
and re-install. Hope this helps. Good luck with your 2004 GMC Sierra radio troubleshooting.
I installed a aftermarket cd player in my 2004 gmc sierra using the wiring harness with chimes. It turns on, but sometimes shuts off after truck ignition. Any ideas?? thanks
