Center console conversion?

[Rotornut]

I made a step by step how to with part number and prices for converting from a jump seat to center console. I noticed some of the earlier posts or pics were removed or I couldn't find so I made this guide with information I wanted to know before I started on this swap. Let me know if this helps

I'm also looking for an answer to this question. It seems like everybody uses usb extension cables for the left and center connectors, but no mention is ever made of what happens to the larger grey/red plug. Is it just abandoned in the dash?

I just abandoned it in the dash, there is a power connector on the harness that is on the center console and that one is powered as well

 

[Rotornut]

Do you have the list of past needed to swap to a center console still by chance?

I made a parts list and prices for my conversion with links, the attachment is in this post

Center console conversion?

Yes I am, I have limited hopingnits and easy swap Need to figure out the rear vent buttons Can anyone tell me the part # for a wiring harness for a center console with wireless charger? Dealer not helpful. The closest he could find was the armrest only wiring harness (68349111AD), but neither...

Quick question. I don’t currently have the 110 power outlet but want to have one. Other then getting console with the plug there. What else would I need if you would know?

Thank you

I'm not sure what all variations the wire harness will have, but the connector that powers the outlet look like the attached images. It should be on the harness that is in the dash and/or on the harness that goes on the center console. If they don't have that connector then the easiest thing would be to get a harness that has them on it and you can get a power outlet from the websites I used to get the hardware, there is one listed here

Take a look at this presentation, I have a 2019 Laramie as well and did the same swap. What I did for the harness is laid out in there, but I ended up getting some USB extensions. I have links to everything I used in there as well

Hey there! I just purchased 2020 Limited with center console and looking to swap my console to bench seat. It’s a brand new condition with 12 miles on it all black. I’m looking for a good condition bench seat if you have just purchased your truck it’s even better but used is fine too as long as it’s pet and smoke free truck. I’m located in Portland, OR area but we can ship to each other, just let me know who is interested of swapping with me, thx

This is very well done.

Do you happen to have the part numbers for the original jump seat components. I went the other way and am having trouble finding the lower storage components that fit correctly in my 2022 Bighorn.

I'm working on this project and I have questions. I picked up a console off ebay, wiring harness was already inside. removed the jump seat, moved the connector down and over, I was able to get the front USBs connected and working. the one inside the console lid works too. The 2 in the rear however are not lit up, nor are they charging.

Under the dash, There was a grey plug and a black plug, I currently have the grey plug from under the dash plugged into the usb plug on the harness, and the H plug connected. The black plug is not connected at all, nor the audio plug from under the dash, plugged in the one from the console harness.
This seems to be doing everything I want, didn't try to play music from AA, but it was connected and showing maps, Will test farther.
My truck did not have rear usbs to begin with. so my questions are the following.
1. What do I need to do to get the ones in the back to light up and work? harness is clearly providing power as the one in the console lid works, I saw where someone had connected the front and rear hubs with a USB cable in the middle slot, Is this what I am missing?
Removed the back of the console today, USB cable is not what I need, the rear hub I am installing only has a single plug with 4 pins (Red, Orange/Grey, Pink/Yellow, Black) All of these appear to exist on the truck side of the harness. I have Fused B+ in #2, but nothing in #3. I am going to try and multimeter this plug tomorrow. If this is the cause, can I tap pin 3 into pin2 at the truck side of the harness? or tap into the console usb to power the rear hub

2. What is the black USB from under the dash for? I plugged it in, I had it connected and disconnected to the front media hub and did not see any real differences.

The plugs in question from the above post

I have tested the two 4 pin plugs in the rear of the console. usb hub does not work with either of them, console lid usb works with both. power in the wiring does not appear to be an issue. my current assumption is the USB hub from the swap in console was bad.

I have received a new rear usb hub.. still no luck getting it to work. apparently the wiring to power the hub and the wiring to power the console lid are not the same. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this hub powered?

I was able to get everything working. My issue was that the console I purchased was out a 22, and my truck is a 20. In the harness I have the rear usb gets acc/ignition power on wire 17 that on previous models was for the cd player.. Once I tapped that to pull from 4, I was ok..
E12 seems to not be feeding power to illuminate the plugs, but my gut says that has more to do with the ambient lighting being missing. It charges which was the important step

Just swapped my bench out for a center console, lkq screwed me and swapped the one I bought for a slightly different one without the rear usb. Not wanting to deal with the hassle I just added a 12v usb charger in the console and tapped the 12v lighter plug from the center stack.

Overall super happy with the conversion, the jumpseat was the biggest thing I didn’t like about this truck when I bought it.

Now I have jumpseat on my hands anyone want to buy it
