2014 Sierra, Mounting Mag Light on Transmission Hump

[Zigsierra]

I'm considering mounting my Mag Light flashlight charger/ holder on the transmission hump on floor in my 2014 Sierra SLT. I have the folding console/seat.

 

I was able to see a wire loom or two underneath truck, but don't know if there are any wires run through a layer of the cab structure that I cannot see. I also don't know if the wires for the USB and other outlets in the console are run directly under the carpet in the hump.

 

I want to put sheet metal screws through the floor for the mount, but obviously don't want to nick a wire. Do any of you, especially those who've done the console conversion know if there are hidden wires? I mounted the light in my 2010 Silverado, but there was much less electronics in that truck, and the underside of the cab structure has changed a bit.

 

Thank you

I cant answer that but what if you mounted it to the front of the jumpseat(through the plastic) right next to the floor? You could always tap into the power thats in the seat? Just a suggestion...

Not any help here but consider these:

I switched to these about 4 yrs ago. Super bright and small. I keep several in my truck and around the home. Gets a little dim, just toss the single AA and in business.

 

Can find better prices but here is a place:

I may mount it to the plastic, however, I'm concerned that one of my passengers, who are always less careful than me, may kick the thing and shatter the plastic.

A passenger sitting in the jump seat?

Maybe, but I was thinking of clumsiness from the passenger seat.

A little off topic but where did you mount it on your 2010? I have an 08 and have been looking for a good place to mount mine other than stuffing it in the center consol (I have the LTZ/Tahoe console).

 

Picture would be nice if you have them too.

I mounted it right on the floor/ tranny hump, lens facing forward. I had the jump seat, but no electronics in the console. There were no wires underneath the truck in that area.. I just put a little rust reformer paint around the holes where the screws came through.

With the new LED lights, I found I just dont worry about it much. I carry at least two flashlights. The new 2 C cell lights that come in the 2 pack at Costco are the best lights I've had for general purpose.

I keep a Mag between my center console and the inboard seat track of the driver's seat. It stays put and is easy accessible.

I have my stream light mounted right behind the jack tools, and ran the rechargeable station wire up to the fuse panel. Clean, and easy to get to. And not in the way.
