Cargo Lights on with Reverse Lights


Recommended Posts

The link is for the tapatalk app?

Would be easier to understand with pics and links to part.

 

Here it is. I was trying to find a more simple diode trick.

Did the mod to add reverse lights with cargo switch using the 1N4004 diode on my 16 and my dad's 17. Worked great.

I did this on my 2015 and worked great! just got a 2017 Crew and can't get it to work. Different terminals? Canadian vehicle? Z71? I'm at a loss.

Try and turn your cargo light on at night while in reverse

I've looked at the BCM detail for 2017 and they are the same. You check to make sure:

 

- the orientation of the diode is correct?

- each end is making good contact with the terminal?

 

Here is a close up detail. Connection is between the brown and pink plugs.

Did mine up a few weeks ago.

 

 

Never read anything, heard anything, nor noticed since doing this mod, that when you put your truck into reverse, the cargo light indicator lights up.

What is the indicator light? I have a 2014 and there is not a light.

Thanks for responding to his question.

Yeah, like I said, was a little surprised.

 

Went to dinner with my son last night, he noticed it and started to freak out about it.
