Hey guys,

 

wondering if anyone might be able to tell me where the BCM is located in our trucks. 

 

Much appreciated!

Is that what is called the K9 BCM?  Is there only one BCM on our trucks(mine is a 2018 1500 single cab WT)

 

The reason I ask is because after wiring in running board light suddenly my cargo lights and cab mounted brake lights no longer work.  This of course makes me believe something I did caused this and now I need to troubleshoot this problem.  :/

 

Oh lordy lordy , well I was at least right, I did do something to cause this.  First, the brake light lamp which I replaced with an LED, was in backwards.  There is the first problem solved.  Next I went to the passenger side cabin fuse box and found that fuse number 10 which feeds the cargo lamps was......drum roll...........missing.  What???  Ok I must be wrong so I recheck the diagram but everything is in proper place except this 15A fuse in position #10.  I think this qualifies as a genuine "senior moment".  I do not remember pulling that fuse and I'm pretty sure the cargo lights worked before I started the running board light project and replacing the incandescent bulbs of cargo/upper brake light lamps with LEDs.  Ok, I guess I'll have to accept that as a senior moment and move on but wait......there is one more thing bothering me, 15 amps for cargo lights????  Well I put in a 5A fuse.  15 amps is getting up there and the size of these wires make me uncomfortable.  Per diagrams I've found the cargo lamps are all that on this circuit and I'll sleep better know the 5A fuse is ready to open circuit at the slightest problem.  

 

Well I just had to report what I found even though it makes me look a little dumb especially for someone who was one an electronics tech.  I just wanted to report the truth so nothing in my previous post causes someone else to take a wrong turn.  :)

      3.59 Kroger’s in Montgomery Tx. 20 cents higher than most around here. Very unusual. Saturday they were 3.49.

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Starting at 17 running parts for my father’s construction business to haul our equipment. Eventually doing shows, sales and training after purchase. I drove a minimum of 50K miles a year. Half hauling something. After retiring 30K miles a year to the last 2 years 15K miles a year. 2/3rds highway driving. The major contribution to fatigue for me is from anticipation and awareness. I just don’t relax. Too many idiots on the road. There’s two kinds. The group that never leave the left lane tied together afraid to let anyone in doing 80. They’re mostly on weekends. Then the left lane sleepers usually next to a tractor trailer not advancing. Eventually the tractor trailer will drift over the sleeper will wake up. The train moves and the tailgaters who are usually mad as hell. You definitely don’t want to mix with them. The tail wagging bumper puller’s with under powered trucks are holding the tractor trailer up. That bunch are dangerous. I usually pace ahead all that. Unless there’s a gap when I can chill and let the speeders pass. I tried all different types of driving. I stay to the right except to pass, it’s the law that’s getting in forced more now because of road rage. I was so happy when my wife didn’t want to do the camping life. I had enough of pulling for work. The family has a bus and fifth wheel. I haven’t driven either one since retiring. No thanks.

      Yesterday a suggested youtube video thumbnail caught my attention so I watched through it and it was a bunch of short clips someone gathered together of people pulling trailers, a lot of them were bumper pull holiday trailers and a pickup or suv pulling it. a few fifth wheels as well, some motorhome crashes also. The tail wagging the dog theme was quite evident in numerous self inflicted accidents that took out vehicles around them sometimes in the process as the unit finally swung around and flipped over in the middle of the highway. Or the other classic which literally could be called "I forgot the trailer was back there" in passing another vehicle on a multi lane one way freeway and then cutting back in line before the back of the rv trailer had passed the front of the passed vehicle and often in front of a tractor trailer and that never ended well. Or the wide kick out swing of the rear of a long travel trailer as they have so much overhang behind the axles and the trailer smashes into the side of vehicles in the next lane over ( typically sharp turns in city driving ). It makes one leery for good reason to be near an RV trailer after watching a video like that and be it on the highway, in town, or at a gas station where that rear end comes swinging around due to the fuel station being so cramped and not intended for larger trailers. I wonder how many officers have heard those words though "I forgot it was back there" as they investigate the accident LOL.

      Just because a person can buy a travel trailer or a motorhome doesn't mean they can drive it properly. My observation during my RVing years.
