Help with cab marker lights
Hello everyone,
I decided to install led cab markers, I did it last year to my 02 and looks/works great, my diesel it's an 06 and my problem is the connector on the passenger's kick panel section, my 02 has a convenient plug that i used and done, my 06 has a 12 pin grey plug that none of the needles test 12volt when i turn my lights on, in the same area there are other plugs being used and connected to their respective harnesses.
I didn't test any of the other plugs because when your truck doesn't have factory marker lights, they still run the wires but leave a vacant plug that has 12v and ground for later use.
Any one has an idea?

I had the same problem with mine. I have an 04 i put lights on, the wiring harness is in the roof and I tried to find the plug in on the passenger side kick panel. I didn't find anything that I could directly plug into. I wound up having to wire into the headlight switch itself, I ran from all 5 lights and down the channel on the driver side of the truck and behind the dash straight to the light switch. you don't have to splice it, you can buy a connector that basically adds the wire you ran to the wire in the switch. This is what I did and have had no problems.

I think i know the type of connectors you're talking about, they have like a small blade that when you press down with pliers it makes contact with the two wires put side by side, I'll pick some up tomorrow and do it like that, i was afraid to cause any power overdraw and start blowing fuses, on the other hand LED's don't pull much amps that will harm the system, don't think.
Thanks
