Okay, so I know this is for interior lighting, but does anyone know which wire leads to the puddle lights? I'm adding some lights outside as puddle lights and want to tap into that wire. Don't want them to come on with the domes cause cops around here are the worst

Honestly install them the way Nitro has in his video...Little more wiring running but way more room to work. I ended up cutting a wire in my harness trying to remove that ridiculous cloth tape (its all fixed). There is a nice gap that you can reach up in front of the e-brake (press it down to make more room) and dang near reach the opening in the corner of the dash where you feed the wires down.

Can the puddle light wire be found behind the pillar by any chance?

I haven't done it yet, but I know the existing puddle lights pop out very easily (found out when I had a mirror slap with another truck and the wires were the only thing holding it on). Anyway, you should be able to pop it out, look at the color of wires, then find the same wires in the bundle behind the hood release lever.

 

I had been holding off future electrical projects because I was waiting on service manuals, due to be released March 17th.... but then they delayed them AGAIN, this time until September! Grrrr

The puddle lights wire comes out of the BCM on connector 7 terminal 8. Gray wire w/ green stripe. Only ? 7 connectors on BCM so it is on one end. Should be LT Gray.

Connector colors as follows. 1 NAT 2 L BLU 3 GRN 4,BLK 5 BRN 6 L PU 7 LT GRY.

Did you find that out by testing the wire? Just curious.

Installed my interior LED's yesterday, like the light and the look. I found it to be a real pain getting in a good position with that upper connector. Unplugged it and cut one tie strap which gave me just enough room. Being twisted up under the dash and working is not as easy as it used to be.

Bought them on Ebay. Here is the thread discussing installing them. They are bright but not overpowering, looks like the camera amplifies the light some.

I LOVE that exterior lighting. Question: when they are off and in daylight, can you are the LED strip much or is it hidden ?

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
