2023 High Idle Mod
I believe the resistor gets wired up between pin 3 and 4, and I wire the upfitter to pin 7.
I'm including the new SEIC/PTO diagram for reference.
One point of warning - there are two green with white stripe (GN-WH) wires! The one you identify is the correct one. There is another GNWH in the bottom row Pins 18-25.
I was alerted to the 2 wires of the same color by a YouTube that someone on the forum posted. I cannot find that post now- he had 3 superduty’s taken apart showing how to access upfitters and the SEIC-PTO bundles. He called the correct pins 7, 9, and 10, which was not what my 23 is. Mine is pretty close to what you indicate. I say pretty close because I did not photograph, and the connector end that I took out of the truck did not have all of the pins numbered.
However, YouTube also said the second GN-WH wire was pin 18 which was dead giveaway as to which GN-WH to use.
Have fun pulling out that wire bundle. My leads were so short I had to pull the box and decouple all of the connections to get to this bundled SEIC/PTO connector. Once I decoupled the SEIC/PTO and had the wire leads out of the truck, there was about a mile of electrical tape holding the wire tips together. 3-inch longer leads would have saved a lot of time and effort, but you would still have to “see” the bottom row wires to solve the two GN-WH wire issue.
PS, I could not find the pass-through wires at either end!
Good luck.
Did you do the mod yet? I'm 99% sure the pins above were correct, and I have some 20k resistors left over from doing this mod on my 2018. I just haven't had time to actually wire in the resistor and wire the upfitter.
Mysticbus, yes it does. Wire connections are the same. I see that the SEIC/PTO connector bundle VTechie provided says no wire on the gas, but it is there and it works with whatever resistor (speed) you want. Since there is no stacking/sooting in a gasser, I think gas does not need the 1400 rpm’s a diesel needs. 30k resistor puts me just under 1,000 rpm’s. I used 20k resistors and had one on hand for the 2022 Platinum diesel Fird never built. 1,000 is plenty for a gasser to keep alternator pumping out without overheating. Remember parking brake must be on and in park before you hit the upfitter switch or it will not work. Touch brake pedal or shift out of bark, back to base idle.

it’s actually made for other years super duty but I just came here and got help figuring out how to translate the wire colors and make it work.
been happy with it as well. It’ll go from like 900-3000rpm
im usually around 1000-1200rpm when I use it
all the wiring you’ll need to do is right inside the passenger footwell but it’s tucked back against the outer wall/surface and pinned in. Was a bitch to get to.

The grey liner is on at the top of photo. Looking at the liner. Put your hand on the right side just on top.
The only partial view of the connector I had was looking through the middle of the passenger door jam -- after removing the molding and the right side of the dash end cap. I saw nothing from looking up through the footwell or peaking through the removed glovebox area. The video linked below is for installing the BD Diesel high idle kit on a 2023, but it was EXTREMELY helpful. The author mentions at one point he unpins a harness behind the glovebox which is pinned to the passenger dash end-wall to get access to the SEIC connector. He was spot on and I could have never figured this part out without the help offered here:
I only removed the pieces he removed and I found that using a long thin screwdriver and a push pin removal tool at the same time was the only way I could push/pry to detach the connector from it's push pin mount. About 40 minutes of fun!
PS: Go slow and easy removing all plastic dash parts if you are doing this in very cold temps in your garage.
