Floor lighting to ambient lighting?

[Dj0mladen]

@ DJ --- nice job on the lighting... looks bright... I know you added some interior lighting but can't tell from post or pics if you have the factory ambient lighting. The factory ambient are under the front driver and pass front foot well, under drivers and pass seat.... there are also two located drivers side dash and one by the glove box -- these three I am passing on for now due to the cost. Each door has 4 leds, two of which occupy each side of the lower map pocket connected by an acrylic tube--still waiting on parts delivery to complete my doors... I live in Salem - The Witch City -- but I have a second home up in Freedom NH by Ossipee lake, so if you need and extra hand or two just give me a yell out...

Lets definetley connect at some point. I am in Raymond, NH so 101/95. You probably take 495 to 95 than 16 to get up to Ossipee.
I have the oem led under driver and passenger footwell. I did not see anything under the seats and will have to check that out. What I did is hijacked the yellow with green stripe wire and ground and carried it over under back seat where i wires 2 les modules. They come on when you unlock the car and than go away and than they come back on when you turn the headlights on. I used the yellow with green stripe and carried that out of car where i wires puddle lights as they come on when you unlock and enter the car. What I am scared is the load right at what point will I overload it.

The next project was to start taking off one door at the time and connect led strips in the places of ambient lighting.

If you are referencing the plug behind the head light switch and dimmer, I believe all wires are present-- you leave as is.... Look at the BCM and locate C6 and see if the wire is present... If it is, I think if you change the switch to one that has a dimmer/ambient knobs and make the proper setting change with Alfa, your over head led would be working.... What part of the world are you from... if you are local I would be happy to assist you; I am in MA .... Again these vehicles use 1 wire to do multiple commands, the days of adding power or ground to a circuit are nearly over, DATA is the new game....

C6 = large white plug w/gray lock

I am from PA - wish i was close! I guess i will have to invest in getting the alfaOBD as well.

I will check today and see if i have it, I am betting i do as well. I was talking about a black plug that is on the side of the dash when you open the driver side door there is a panel. It has the white green on female side of the plug but not coming out from the male side. It is in the same group of wires that go to headlight switch and probably run back to that c6 plug. That is where I figure i could add a pin and wire and should be able to get to everything i need?

Update: Found the plug on Mopar Site - XY370A. Per the wiring diagram I am missing 12A, 20A, and 21A on the male side. All 3 wires are present on the female side.


I assume that feeds ambient lighting somewhere in the truck because another thread showed this plug and said that it was a place you could tap into. Here is a pic that was posted in that thread, as you see above i don't have the white/green and black as shown coming out.

you will see 4 listed, the key is look for overhead cupholder lamp... that lamp is controlled by the ambient dimmer switch....
So your truck doesn't have the 2 side by side dimmer wheels ???

FM-45 Looking at headlight switch options I believe this is what I would need (link below) - I have LED light package w/ auto and fogs. Going to get a parts list together and then will be asking for assistance to help to fill in the blanks. Especially on the pins needed for the plugs, want to make this as "like factory" as possible.

Here is a pic from the rear side of mine, .... (ending in) 1AC ---- I am sure the part you posted just superseeded mine, so essentially they are the same and should work as described.. you do have to make the change in the BCM so that the truck recognizes the new device. Alpha can do everything for ya, do you run Android or Win base pc, if so you are good to go... If i can be of any help just let me know; my real job I run into burning buildings but for fun I have been in the electronic business for the past 30 yrs...

This helps, thanks! I run a windows pc so I will need to buy the OBD connector and software, was looking at the alfaOBD online.

So went back and looked and I found the same as yours with 1AD at the end and it states superseded the 1AC version as you pictured. These light switches are so confusing as they all list the same things and makes it hard to know which to get.

I am confused as where does this part go 68367033AA ? I looked under the driver and passenger seat and can't figure out where it would go? I did go ahead and placed the order of the switch you guys listed above.

 

[FM45]

DJ--- If you look under each seat, center rear location, you'll notice a piece of white flat plastic with two holes in it --- one hole is for mounting the other keeps the assembly square....

[Dj0mladen]

I found it perfect. Where does it plug into?

 

[FM45]

--- in your pic, if you notice the large yellow plug... the new light assembly will be wired to that... I can give you the pin outs to each side once you get the parts.. You will only need to re-pin two cavities but three will be used... the common ground will be re-used...

-=FM45=-

 

[Dj0mladen]

That is perfect. Have you figure-out part numbers for inside the door panels?

 

[FM45]

@ DJ--- I already have the led assemblies and most wiring for each door... I am adding passive entry at the same time so I only want to open the doors once... Covid has delayed some of my parts. There is one part which is not available from factory, the acrylic tube for bottom map holder.... I got that covered, I made a jig, purchased my own tubing, heated it into the shape that it follows the contour of the door... alot of work but I want the factory look... If you want those part numbers, Let me know and I will post them up..

[Travman32]

FM45 - What gauge wire did you use to make your wiring harness? (20, 22?). Also I have been trying to figure out the male and female pins i would need for each connector.

Looks like the main plug for the lights from mouser would be a 2.8?
410A and 420A connector looks like a 1.2 for signals and the ground is a 6.3.
370A connector where i would pull the ambient signal from looks to be a 1.2 as well maybe?

Any input on the pins you used? Thanks!

 

[FM45]

@Trav--- I have not had a chance to look thru my toolbox but those pins look correct... the ground is already in both 410/420 plugs, you'll just have to tie into that wire... as far for the 370A, I did not use that for my signal.... connector C6 on the BCM has the wire that I used for the ambient signal... wht/grn ---- I am not working this weekend, I will post-up and try to clear up some of your questions... sorry for the delay..

[Colton94]

I am interested in this as well. I do have led package already and have led lights in foot well. I did hijack the connection from them and added led lights under back seat as well and didnt have issue so far. I am in NH. Where in MA are you?

Can you post pictures of where you mounted the lights under the rear seat?

 

[FM45]

Colton---
Look at post #28 by Dj... you'll see a white piece of plastic with two holes... that plastic is were the light assembly mounts...

Yeah that is under the driver and passenger seat, I’m looking for how he mounted the lights under the back seat. There’s nothing like that under my back seat.

Under front and passenger seat.

Could you verify the pins needed in the TE connector for the under seat LEDs and the pins for the yellow connector under each seat? Putting in an order from Mouser and want to make sure I'm ordering all the right stuff. Thanks for your help!
