Cargo Light wiring?

[Cvue]

I want to install cargo led light to bed of truck. Where do you wire the light to?

[pgamboa]

GM makes bed lighting to goes underneath the bed rails (just above the wheel jump). The wiring then goes underneath the bumper in between the bumper and the spare tire. Let me pull up the drawings for the specific wire and connector for the tap.

This might help. It's the X400 Connector underneath. Pin #1 is the Courtesy Lamp (Cargo Lamp) circuit # 1430. It is a White Wire with a Violet Stripe. Hope this helps. https://www.gmupfitter.com/files/media/photo/735/UI%20Bulletin%20_129b.pdf

Use the harness and wire your own led lights. So much better than GM ones.

Noticed that UI Bulletin #129b is for 2016 +
I have a 2015 (Z71) if that matters.

I recently had to rewire my connector. Because the body shop it went to, decided that they would only unclip 3 out of the 4 connectors and just yank. So instead of whining and scheduling a day to service I just did it myself. All works fine!

 

The wires were red and black for me. furthest passenger side clip.

I took pics if needed.

Hello Monkey Mouth,

I know this is an older post about the bed lights, I saw your comment from August 2017 and it appears that the same shop worked on my 2015 2500 HD.

Do you still have the pics that would show which positions the wires would need to go back into?

This would help a bunch..
