I have given up for the time being. Hoping someone comes up with a module or some sort of sure fire work around. I may install the set I have and install a separate switch somewhere to access them… bu

I'm still waiting for my new truck to show up!   It's been on order for almost 4.5 months and still not here.  I've been researching.   Check the above posts from paauto and see if pin 3 of X3 works.

Thanks for your input, yes I have thought of a buck converter but think that would complicate the project and thoughts of heat issue would leave me restless. These new refresh models are so new I gues

I have not even attempted to delve further into it. Figured I would just get a truck that either already has em, or has easily installed upfitter switches. Was actually trying to trade up today to an HD AT4 today, dealer wanted me to take a $20,000 bath on the 1500 with 6,000 miles on it. Ridiculous. I have worked at 7 different car dealers myself, and that’s a big lowball.

I want to put some rock lights on my truck that only illuminate when the dome lights are on. Using the door sill instructions to trigger a relay, with power filter to cancel out the PWM, to power the lights might be the ticket.

Just keep in mind the door sill pin will be at a different location for your 2020. The 2022 refresh and up are on the Global B architect.

Correct. Looks like I need to update my bio information!!

I have 2023 gmc sierra elevation and I added footwell leds. You take the last black connector of the BCM towards firewall and slot 1 which is empty I put a paper clip in it and added a but connector to the end of the paper clip connected the wire and grounded the other wire, now my LED’s turn on and fade out with the dome lights and turn on when any door opens. I hope this helps anyone of you trying to put footwell lights on these expensive trucks that should come standard

I will have to give Cluemasters approach a try later. I too have a ton of different molex pins and connectors. If it works for a 2023, it SHOULD be the same on a refresh 2022. I’ll post my findings once I have something to report.

Ok, I went out and tested on my 2022 refresh Sierra Elevation in response to Cluemaster and Low Ufo's post from 2/15 that BCM (K9) connector X1 (black) pin 1 is not occupied, and is indeed where you want to wire into for footwell lighting. As Cluemaster noted, it will turn on and off with the interior lighting (including from the all on/off switch in the overhead lighting module). I tested it with just a small wire jammed in there for the time being and grounded it out to the nuts on the door jamb. Per the GM upfitters manual, the wiring to properly install this permanently would be GM part number 19370262. This is a 5 pack of pinned wires that will plug right in and be locked in place. Find a decent ground and you should be in business. I have only tested 2 of my four LED strips in it so far, as most of the parts from what I thought was a dead upgrade have been buried somewhere in parts bins, so I guess I will be finding all of those this weekend. Also, should be noted that the best pricing I could find on these wires (as of today 10/17/2023) was from eBay from Everett Chevy Buick GMC.

This is great news. Thanks for updating.  Now the trick is to find a small strip of LED lights that match the slightly blue tint and intensity of the stock OH LEDs.  Hopefully you find a good match with the sets you have stored.

I bought a Diode Dynamics footwell lighting kit specifically for this application. Unfortunately, the LED strips supplied are 4000K which is good, but not exactly matching to what I believe is more of a 6000K hue to the rest of the interior lighting. I’m going to stick with it for the time being, if it bugs me I’ll wire in new whiter/bluer weatherproof LED strips. I’m not sure how much that one little pin from the BCM can handle as far as output. While LEDs are low consumption, it’s quite a few LED’s to power 4 separate floor spots. Also worth noting is the wire leads I ordered from Everett Chevy Buick GMC they were selling as just single wires. While technically that is all I needed, I would rather have a couple back ups, so that order has been cancelled and am still on the hunt for the wiring.

I bought a set of 12v leds in Walmart, I cut off the 12v cigarette plug stripped the wires and it all came out great. The led comes with a remote multi colors and I can add any lighting effects to when I open or unlock my doors. Walmart price $9 name is MONSTER LED

Minmax I’m glad I was able to help and 100% confirm that in the black BCM plug in empty spot slot 1 is where you get the job done 👍🏽

Thanks for your contribution Clue.  Those Wmart LEDs are certainly an option, but I really don't want to deal with that coiled cable and control box, as I would never need infinite adjustability.  Ideally, I'd like to find a smaller say 4 to 6 LED strip that's 6000K and fairly dim to match to OEM. I'm waiting to see what Minmax reports back before pulling the trigger on a few options from Amazon to test.  Thx!

The strips I have are VERY nice (from diode dynamics), albeit, incorrect K value, so I am sticking with those for now. This item on Amazon would likely work well, although not as “weatherproof” as the ones I have, if water ever gets that high up in the vehicle, your footwell lighting will be the least of your worries. You can likely leave the potentiometer installed and make little strips for each footwell, all spliced off of a four way splitter to make each strip controlled by the potentiometer. Or snip after the potentiometer and let the truck give it full voltage. They big part is the four way pluggable splitter that came with the Diode Dynamics footwell kit I got.

      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?
