I have search back a few months and see lots of threads about footboard/interior lighting and those are helpful for finding the dome light (unless you have a 2022+ or 2023 Silverado/Seirra like me lol).  

 

My concern is finding the other wires required to connect these.  I'm not clueless on how to connect the wires, just want to be more cautious on doing it on my brand new truck, and make sure I have the right wires.  

 

According to their diagrams they need:

12v+ Door assist - I assume this turns on the white light when doors open

12v+ Parking Lights - no idea what these would do?

12v+ Turn signal - flashes with turn signal

Ground

 

My main question is are all of these available in the A pillar? if so, anyone happen to know which wires or have a diagram/picture?

Lots of great information here. Have enjoyed reading other threads!

 

Thank you so much in advance

You ever get an answer or were you able to figure this out? I have OPT7 lights pairing with powered running boards on a 25 Silverado. Curious what to hook the door assist light with.

I am hoping to get a set of these myself. From what I have seen I am planning on running all the wiring to the rear of the truck and tap into the turn signal wires used by the tailgate light bar and the door assist into the truck bed lights.

I’m pretty sure the turn signals and brake lights are tied together so when you hit the brakes you’ll light up as well. I was going to do that but decided to just run the wires to the headlights and tap the wires there. Works great and it’s basically just as difficult as running them to the rear of the vehicle.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
