mrkieran23 Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 Sorry if its already been discussed, a search only brings up 1 thread with no definitive answer. So it looks like the 350 doesn't have door lights, only a reflector SO... i need to find a feed from the door trigger. Can anybody tell me if the door trigger wiring is easy to get to? I read that i cannot wire it to the interior lights as they are connected to the BCM? tbf i think it easier option would be to take the feed from the trigger. Thoughts?

karlh Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 The door triggers themselves are also wired to the BCM, so you need to be careful you don't short something out and ruin the BCM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkieran23 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 i was hoping to take the live feed from the troigger but i dont fancy playing with the BCM i wonder if it would be easier to put a separate trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 i would. Add another Pin Switch for the light. Or maybe from the inside courtesy light but fuse it inline?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted May 13, 2015 Share Posted May 13, 2015 double check this as i did it a looooong time ago, I put footwell lighting in my 350, take off the A pillar cover on the passenger side and you will find a pink wire this can be used as a trigger, DO NOT overload this, use it as a trigger to switch a solenoid, this wire will work as the door opens Your other choice is to tap into the door switch itself, these are usually a switched earth, tap into a live and this to switch the lights on/off as the door is opened 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkieran23 Posted May 13, 2015 Author Share Posted May 13, 2015 well the 350 doesnt have an inside courtesy light, this is where i wanted to take the feed from but its only a reflector. Perhaps it may be safer to put another switch on, unless anybody knows if i would be safe with putting a fuse inline and connecting it to the trigger mmmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
