What have you done to your K2 today?


Recommended Posts

Finally got around to finishing the wiring install for my under hood lights. It was just hokey before, I pulled the heat mat down and used zip tie bases to route it under there and covered the exposed part with plastic wrap crap, then ran it behind hinge.

looks good , stay out of car washes ( wheel brushes will damage the finish) - touch less or hand wash

ok, i hate to have to ask this/bring it up again, BUT:

 

Ive just spent the last hour looking thru this thread and others in the 2500 forums and havent found an exact answer. Seem those that did this mod to their trucks its been so long ago, their photobucket account pics cant be displayed anymore, so here are my 2 questions about running board lights:

 

1. Drivers side i came thru the boot where the e-brake comes into the cab to get the wire under the truck, on the passenger side, where the heck did you guys come thru to get it into the cab?

 

2. Which wire is it that i'm supposed to tap into that allows those lights to come on when the door is opened, when the unlock button is pressed on remote, and i'm assuming come on whenever the dome lite comes on?

 

Sorry for bringing this back up, but this 2017 is so different from my 2003 i just sold to get this one, i'm stumped.

I just did mine about a month ago...

 

1- on the passenger at the same location as the boot on the driver's side, there is a plastic grommet. Drill a small hole just barely big enough to fit your wire through and dab some caulk on it in the end if u want. I didn't. Nothing's gonna get in and I didn't have any handy at the time

 

2- I used one of the grey wires in the black box in the driver's footwell. Look through posts and you should find the wire. It'll be on the dome circuit and they'll work with unlock, open, and flipping the dome rocker to "On". However, if they don't light up, check your ground connection. It took me so long guessing and retapping the grey wire in all the different spots. I used a multimeter and found out the bolt I was using for the ground was a did. Moved it one over and good to go.

 

Once my a.c. guy leaves I can take some pics for you if you need them

Completed product- might relocate them to bottom side of the running boars because I don't really like seeing them from certain angles- just ran wiring to add some under hitch

Do the door sills just snap up? I tried the get them up to gain access to the underside of the carpet, and swore it was going to break if I pulled any harder, but I saw no screws holding them in place

Yeah just pull up a little bit and it'll unsnap a couple of them and then you'll pull away from the front to unsnap the front ones on the vertical part. It's easy. Nothing to worry about after you've done it once
