Is there a chance the dome lighting wire or another lighting wire could be located in bundle of wires under the kick panel cover on the drivers side. Thanks.

Yes. It's down there. It's easier to access honestly on the A Pillar. 5 minute job to remove that panel and tap in sitting in the seat versus contorting on the floor trying to hook everything up.

When I did mine I tapped the interior dome lighting at the wiring harness on the drivers side under the dash. Now I am running hid so I turned my other exterior lighting off so I don't wear out my ballasts prematurely. So the only exterior lighting I have is my step bar lights. They alone put out plenty of light. 20160515_205908_zps2o4uuydc.jpg

Can you tell me more about where the dome light harness is and what color the wire is.

Well, just got my lights installed today. Total cost of 40 bucks plus labor. They come on automatically with the key fob or when you open the door. They fade out when they turn off.

 

Can't wait to check them out tonight.

If you want to use the parking light as the feed that's easy. Just tap into the parking light.

Yes that I know I was just wondering if there was a feed somewhere closer. Instead of running a wire front or back.

For led running board lighting i would assume you would not want to use the parking lighting as they would be on anytime your headlights are on and i believe most states have laws against underglow while driving.

I'm very interested in doing this to my 2015 cc. Can you send me a link to where you bought the leds? Also, how did you run the wires into the cab? How did you tap into the gray wire....just peeled it back or used a connector? Thanks

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 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!
