Footwell lights?


Recommended Posts

Anybody added them?  I’m trying to find an easy way to tap into the o/h lighting circuit...
 

Any help would be appreciated!
 

ps- I went to the upfitter website and found the diagram but it made me even more confused. Ha!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

 

I worked on this little project today and it's done.  Can't wait to see the results tonight- you can see the light a bit during the day so I think it'll be perfect at night.  

 

The wire I tapped is in the O/H console. It's the grey wire from the passenger side plug- If you remove the plug and look into it, the wire is the very top right.    This allows perfect functionality for the new lights!  They dim, they turn on and off with the O/H switch, they work with every door.  In short, they work exactly like the factory O/H lights.

 

I ran the power wire across the front of the headliner next to the windshield.  Then I loosened the passenger grab handle and tucked the wire in there and down into the passenger fuse box,  Then I hooked up the passenger footwell light and ran the wire across the firewall to the drivers side footwell.  I picked up grounds under the dash.  

 

 

Hope this helps somebody out!

So I guess that will help me but I think I will try finding that down under the dash instead of coming from up top...
Are the interior lights dimmable now???

So I replaced the strip LED's with some better quality pod lights.  Brighter, and a more accurate color match to the original lights.

 

You can see just how dim the interior lights are (they are on in the pics too!)   I also added one on the back of the console.  Nice addition!

 Very nice!  Where did you purchase those lights?  Do you have a part number?

    • Thanks for posting, I'm sure it will help someone
    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
