Project Running Board Lights Is A Success

[Grjfer]

Project I have been working on. Just had to figure out the refresh BCM. The black BCM module closest to the firewall has pin #1 open for adding accessory lights. I used a set of 60" MICTUNING cargo led strips.

 

The black connector is a pain to get out. It is in close quarters to the firewall and hard to see. There is a locking tab that must be released first then you push in on the release tab. I used a factory molex connector (shout out to @64BAwagon) in pin #1 and tied it to the hot side of the led light strips after cutting out the supplied switch. By hooking these up in this the lights fade on and off with the interior lights.

Where did you route the wiring from that connector to the lights?

I used the parking brake cable under the drivers side carpet grommet.

Thanks! And was that a nano or micro molex connector?
