Speed Turtle

I hope this is in the right spot, if not please move....................

I have a 2016 Silverado that we installed a 2.0 module on. Thing worked great. So we needed a beacon on top of the truck so we decided to use the 2.0 pushbutton to activate the beacon. Pulled the switch apart found that there is 3 wires, black ground, red power and yellow signal wire. Tapped the yellow wire to activate the positive side of a standard relay. Direct power to the beacon from the battery and breaking ground with the relay. Everything worked great, so decided to use the obd2 extension cable to relocate the 2.0 module, now there is no power to the push button switch, module lights illuminate but does not activate the truck lights. Unplugged the extension cable and still the same.

Has anyone else done this and had this issue? If so what was the fix? Does anyone have the pinout for the voltage harness by chance?

I cannot answer your question, but I would guess by your explanation that a chip or something in the module overloaded and/or fried.

FWIW I would contact the place you bought it from or speed turtle directly. Those modules are generally frowned upon by a lot of installers (myself included) due to modules sometimes frying body control modules. It will certainly void any warranty you may have left on a 2016 Silverado.

My guess is that something internal has been damaged as well. I did contact Speedturtle direct and no response yet.

Is there an inexpensive way to add front and rear flashing lights. Small surveying firm with just a couple of trucks. We have to have lights that flash and all that jazz.

Most HLFs and TLFs are very affordable, easy to install and won't fry your BCM...

Don't forget those new hella lights, you'll find them in another post.

Speed Turtles are garbage and are known for cooking vehicle electronics. Can you say "warranty void"? I would chuck that thing and get real lights.
