Sorry.... I just realized you posted that before. Been a long week!
 
I not sure where to look for the BCM connector, can you help me out?
White connector under your dash. Driver's side.

It's where the green wire is going into.

1 row of pins. 3 Over. It's one of the two gray wires in this connector.

I installed some RGB footwell lights this weekend (picture forthcoming) and part of the project involved locating a switched power source and preferably one with retained accessory power.  In the righ

Yes There is only one slot that is switched. It's the spade to the left of the 50 amp circuit breaker. Top right of this picture. You have to use a spade connection to grab it and split it off

Hooked mine up last night. Wired them into the dome lights. Thanks Smoothbassman!

 Has anyone had the issue of this power source cutting off and back on when the truck cranks from auto stop start ??????

I am, I was wondering why my dash cam was cutting on and off, it doesn't happen every time though.

Hoping you might be able to help.  
 

I have the same Opt 7 kit as you.  I have a spade powering it and connected to the open prong next to the 50.  That works fine.


I ran the aux wire from the Opt7 control box to the grey wire in the BCM and T tapped into it as I want the lights to power on and off with dome.  
 

I have everything connected and grounded properly, but can’t get the dome feature to power on and off with this kit. 
 

what am I missing?  Do I need a different power source since this one is switched.  Super frustrated.

You mentioned  adding relays for your footwell leds. Is it really necessary with such low current draw? 

I still can’t get them to come on and off with the door.  I’ve tried everything.   I have to manually switch them off as they come on every time when I open the door.

I just bought the Opt7 kit. Did you ever figure out how to get it on/off with the domes? I definitely want it coming on when I open the doors but don’t want them on all the time while driving

I still can’t figured it out.  Mine stay on and I use the remote to turn off.

I'm lost. I have the Opt7 kit fully wired in. Connected the accessory wire to the grey wire (dome light) on the driver side. I tried every spade connector on the passenger fuse box. There's one that's RAP and a few others that are always hot. I want the lights to come on when I open the door or the dome light comes on. With the RAP power, it only comes on if the vehicle is on. With the always hot connections, the lights stay on constantly. There has to be a spot in the fuse box that's door/dome activated... I love the lights but I need a way for them to come on with the dome/door without running all of the power off of that 24 gauge grey wire on the plug...

Yes i have as well, only with my Roof mounted dvd player i installed. my radar detector doesnt shut of thou, so its probably just a drop in voltage causeing the shut off. not a full discharge of power. I just got the Autostop Eliminator and will hope this will just cut the problem out all together as i dont want that feature anyways. save on gas milage my ...

Thank you for taking the time to post your suggestion.  My 2015 Silverado did not have the panel on the passenger side  so I was unaware it even existed. My dash cam now works as it should.

Hey guys not sure if your still trying to figure this out but I have the same kit as you. If you want he lights only to come on with dome lights you just connect the power wire to the pin for the domes on the bcm. If you want it to come on when you enter and exit but also want it on while your driving you run the power wire through the grommet to the engine bay and wire it to the purple wire on your headlight harness. That is the parking lights wire. Then run the accessory wire to the dome light wire in the bcm. This is the way I have mine set up. It took me a while to figure it out. For some reason when you try hooking your power wire to the bcm headlight wire it doesn’t do anything. So if anyone is still looking to do this and want it to work this way. This is the way to do it. No relays needed as this kit has a control box. If anyone needs help just message me.

I haven’t messed with mine since the original install, but I really want mine to come on during door open/close and while driving. That setup sounds like exactly what I want. Do you have pictures of where on the BCM it connects? I’m sure I can find the purple headlight wire but I’ve had a hell of a time finding the dome wire, especially since online diagrams are sparse. It would be awesome if you did a short writeup based on the wires you tapped. Thank you for the update, you’ve re-piqued my interest!

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
