NEXT.....

I'm doing my high idle mod and am not getting any juice from my Blue/white wire per a muli-meter ?

Any idea which fuse feeds that wire or where the other end is so I can do a continuity test ?

Thanks guys !

i haven't done this mod yet but i found this
SEIC or BCP Wire?

You can hook the switch to either of these wires to achieve high idle. However, they each have slightly different behaviors. If you're doing this mod to help keep the AC cold or the heater hot, or keep the revs up when jumpstarting somebody, then you probably want to use the BCP (Battery Charge Protect) wire. If you're doing this mod to use the PTO (Power Take-Off on your transmission), then you probably want to use the SEIC (Stationary Elevated Idle Control) wire.
If you want to hook up to the BCP wire, find the purple wire with the light green stripe in the bundle just near the top of the emergency brake pedal. Note: don't be fooled into using the light green wire with the purple stripe. That's the output wire for a BCP indicator lamp.
If you want to hook up to the PTO wire, find the solid orange wire in that same bundle (near the e-brake).

i don't know what wire you have, what year is yours /this is for the 05-06

Heck, I did this sometime ago. When you posted the question I went on a search for the answer and took me all over the place! Then I went to the high idle link to see if I was using the correct wording. Ding! Well, that was fun.

Are you doing a LED switch?

Well I finally got a few minutes to wrap this mod up so i figured Id wrap up the thread for the next guy.... Not reinvinting the wheel here but figure maybe something I say or did may be that little bit that makes the light go off for someone else

I didnt use any butt-connectors just good old fashioned solder and heat shrink joints,some of the spots were a little tight with my torch but ive got a thin piece of thin aluminum i use in tight quarters so I dont burn mt dash up

Anyway heres the finished product.... WORKS GREAT





And BOOM no maore wetstacking

Sounds like you did a real quality job; butt connectors end up being pains in the butt down the road.
