Who remembers how to link the 3rd brake light to the reverse lights

[alyons]

Tried it again tonight and I'm still not getting the camera with the cargo light switch. Mines a 15, so the wires are a different color. Can anyone else with a 15 confirm these are the right places and that it works?

Does anyone remember what the diode on the far left does? I cant find the original post.

I had a 15.  I had the diode jumper on the same connections.  With the wire, like above, your cargos will come on with reverse, AND your reverse will come on with your cargos.

@Viktorrocks15, I got him.  @bwlaqua, if you're referring to the one in the grey connector?  I had the same 3 on my 15, before it got totaled.  Grey01 - Grey08.  It allows your mirror puddle lights to come on with the interiors, so when you unlock/open any of your doors OR turn your interior lights (ALL) switch on - your puddle lights come on.

I thought it was something to do with that. I just wasnt 100% sure.

I tried it as well with my 15 3500 and had the same results. No camera but all three lights come on in reverse and with cargo button. Coastal Flash has an option for rear camera in motion programming but i only see it as an add on to their HMI programming.

I just tried doing this with some wire jumpers and it didnt work. The jumpers are probably just under .5" long. Im thinking they weren't long enough. Can anyone tell me what they used to get this to work? 

 

This is what I used, FWIW. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EV47GI4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Does anyone know the minimum wire gauge that's needed for jumpers in this application?  I'm guessing there's very low amperage involved, but I'd want to be sure.

It's for the puddle lamp on the side mirror to come on when you first unlock your truck.
