2002 Full Time DRLs

Posted by admin

Taken from from - CAFCNA - 2002 Full Time DRLs

Author is chadf2w.

1. To play it safe, disconnect the Black Ground cable from the battery.

2. Standing on the driver’s side of the truck, Remove the black curved bracket that connects the fender to the body.

3. Remove the Electrical Center Plastic housing. First the top, then look at the sides of the housing and find the tabs which hold it down. Angle the housing and unhook it from the tabs, and lift it off. This should reveal the naked fuse box which is the contents of the Electrical Center.

4. On the fender side of the fuse box is a locking latch. Push this tab towards the fender and this should unlock the fuse box. Then unhook the tabs at either ends of the side facing the engine. The fuse box is now loose and ready to be turned over.

5. There are different colored sections on the underside of the fuse box; we’ll be operating in the green area. It is bolted into the box and it must be unscrewed. Loosen and remove the green connection block. Remove the two blue locking clips on both sides of the green block.

6. On the far right row, there are several wires, locate the double royal blue wire. Remove this wire from its current position and drop it down one (1) hole. Now the right side should have a double green wire at the top, followed by a single red, a single blue, a double purple, then the space just vacated and the newly relocated double blue wires.

7. Relock the green block using the blue locks. Screw in the green block back into the fuse box.

8. Test to see if the mod works. Reattach the Black Ground cable to the battery, and turn the key to the on position. (You don’t have to start the truck. The DRLs should come on when the truck is in Park.

9. When everything works as you like it, lock in the fuse box, replace the cover and the top. Reattach the black curved bracket.

10. Sit back and enjoy the sense of accomplishment. Use these pictures to aid in the modification. The first pic is of steps 1-4. The second pic shows the location of the double blue wires in the green connection block. This picture shows a red wire in the slot where we have placed the blue wires. The red wire is XRover’s switch mod.

AVS Rear Window Decal

Posted by admin

We are excited to offer our members and general truck enthusiasts an AVS Rear Window Decal! This 30″ banner decal looks great on any Avalanche. Custom colors are available upon request. When paying online, please note color choice in Comments section of transaction. We will try to match your requested color as best we can. There is no guarantee of a perfect match. Show your pride and spread the word!

It’s only $10 for your very own AVS decal!

Application instructions:

1. Clean glass
2. Decide at what area of the glass you are going to put decal, e.g. upper part of window, middle, lower, etc.
3. Measure the ends of the decal paper to the frame of the window. Mine was about 9 1/2 inches from edge of decal to frame of window on both sides.
4. The decal measures 30″ in length
5. Mark the edge of the decal with a piece of tape so you know where you are going to start. Might want to put some sort of carpenter’s tape as a guide lengthwise before proceeding. You could also use the defroster lines as a guide.
6. I recommend not taking the paper backing off yet. Start with the side of the decal that has the extra paper as a helper
7. Unpeel one side of the paper adhesive and place the edge down unto the glass
8. Make sure that the angle that it is going to go down is relatively straight.
9. Unpeel the decal and the paper backing across the window with some sort of squeege
10. Firmly rub the adhesive paper making sure the spaces in-between the letters and corners and without bubbles.
