Interior lighting control (Dimmer)

[scottmoyer]

I had one dealer tell me they would do it for me for $150. Another dealer said they would look into it, then told me that they don't have the coding to configure it on my truck.

So, for less than $150, I'll just buy AlfaOBD or find someone with it to program this for me.

One thing that bothers me about my 2022 is there is no dome light or even a switch to light up the back seat it needed from the drivers seat. Was this removed due to the pano sunroof taking up so much space? Only in upper trim levels?

All I get with the single dial turned to the up position is super bright dash lights.

My Rebel has a switch to turn on all interior overhead lights. Up on the center roof console, there's a switch that shows the truck with an open door. The toggle switch is flat and lights turn on when the door is opened. If I toggle the switch to the left, it turns off the lights, even with the door open. Toggle the switch towards the passenger side and the interior dome lights come on.

Like an idiot I never tried that. Set them the day I picked up my truck for the lights to come on when I open the door. It was set from the factory with everything was off when opening the door. Haven’t touched them since. Bet mine is just like that. I’ll have to take a look.

On my Laramie it looks like this and the button circled is what turns on all the interior lights.

I'm not going to say that I didn't have to go look myself. I knew they had to have an interior dome light switch somewhere, I just never used it. Now I'll remember it's there.

What isn't working? All your Big Horn has is two small foot front well lights that will be controlled by the second wheel.

Did you bypass the sgw?

I’m doing this to my 23 ram lonestar wired my own ambient lights and tapped into front footwells. All work great just too bright can’t dim them.

I purchased a 2021 Ram 1500 BigHorn that came with this Dimmer switch

And I wanted to know how hard is it to switch to this control switch so I can control my Over head lighting with this one.

Would this require more wiring???
