Need a diode to have your cargo lights follow the reverse lights.

Since the dl3 mirrors have those 4 reverse facing white LED's that follow what the cargo light switch does i assume the diode would also turn them on? 

Is there any way to have the reverse lights NOT come on at night when hitting unlock with the fob?

Reason i ask is i want the mirror lights to come on when in reverse but rather not have the reverse lights coming on when hitting unlock...

Left diode is for puddle lamp (on DL3 Mirrors) to follow interior dome lamps. This is a requirement for 2014 trucks that upgrade from DL8 Mirrors to DL3 Mirrors. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That explains why I didn't see it in the engine bay. Thanks

DL3 mirrors are not tow mirrors.  You might be referring to DPN and DQS mirrors which are.  The reverse light coming on at night when you unlock the truck via key fob is a factory intended operation.  I believe there is a setting in your radio with how your exterior lights behave and might be able to turn that off specifically when unlocking.

whoops yes my mistake. I just did the diode thing and yes reverse lights on mirror lights and cargo lights now on as well. (probably means bed lights as well but i didnt look)

So just wondering, this will turn on the cargo lamps when unlocking, will it turn them on when reversing? What about when you turn on the cargo lights manually?

Turns cargos on with reverse.  Turn the diode around and it will turn the reverse lights on with the cargos.   If you want both to happen, use a wire instead of the diode.

Hi! Is this pretty simple? I am dumber than a plank when it comes to anything with wires.

Depends on which "this" you're referring to.  Diode/wire jumper?  It's fairly easy.  Found it easier with a set of jeweler's screwdrivers.  Used either the awl or smallest tip philips to work an opening in a corner for the diodes that I've installed.  If you use a wire jumper, get a 18-20 gauge SOLID wire to make the jump.

Dear members, 

 

I followed this thread but i running for some issue. 

 

I realize when i am unlocking the doors the revers light does not come on. is this normal or my car has middle east spec non USA? 

 

 

 

 


I have the same issue, also in the Middle East. Did you find how to get the reverse light running when unlocking the doors ?

I know this is an old thread but I am wondering if anyone can help with something? I have a buddy that gave me some diodes but they are different than what people are suggesting to use. I see most people get the 1N4004 that are 1A 400V. The ones I got are 1N5819 that are 1A 40V. Will these work the same for the bed lights with reverse mod?

Get an AutoSync from BTDiesel, you can enable all lights on when unlocking. Rear reverse light, cargo light, etc...
Also, all rear lights will come on when reversing. Backup light, bed light (cargo) and lights on tow mirrors.
Unfortunately, my current mod downloads are showing a 500 error meaning their servers are in a bit of a tizzy, or something. :(

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
