I use this tape for all outdoor weatherproof connections for security camera installs.

If you don't want to solder, these would work. i'd still use the silicone tape as well.

How did you wire them on the passenger side? I did not see the small connector on the passenger side like there is on the driver side.

My 2018 F350 Platinum has power running boards and these connectors. I will be using the connectors to add undercab lights to my truck.

Anybody know what the molex part number is for a more oem connector? After having this installed for a couple years the metra connector is starting to come loose because it doesn’t use the locking tab on the factory connector.

thanks

For those who did this and wanted to run another led off that circuit, the following part numbers marry up to the speaker wire kit 72-5600. I am going to splice two female plugs like the one coming from the truck to 1 male connector so I can use the same circuit for my existing running board lights and my new led light up door sill.
