BullnoseLuvr Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 My truck is a base without the lighting package. I added footwell lights from an XLT and found places in the dash harness to plug them in but they get no power. Is there another harness required to make them work?

Gary Lewis Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Does your dome light work? It runs off the same fuse and wiring. In the diagram below you can see the left hand door jamb switch and Ckt 53 (Bk/LB) comes down to C125, which is presumably where you plugged your convenience lights in. And C125 is shown in this illustration. Is that the one you used? Did you get the lights grounded? They have to be to work. Have you put a meter on the Bk/LB wire to see if it has power?

The dome light works from both door switches, the lamps are grounded as I've screwed them onto the dash with the factory mounts, and I've checked the wire for voltage in the base of the sockets. Nada. I'm looking at the drawings to see If I can remember where they plugged in. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really nowhere else they could go that I know of. I think I'll dig into the dash to make sure. A side note: the dome light doesn't work from the headlight switch. Is this a common failure? Looking at the wiring diagrams the issues shouldn't be related. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
