I know i have seen it here, someone did it and i can't find it for the life of me...even tried the Google site:www.yotatech.com search...and nothing , zero...oh i get results, but not the thread im looking for.

So if you would be so grateful as to point me to the thread i would greatly appreciate it....and then i will delete this post...not sure what else to do but ask for help.

thanks,
RB

 

Which one are you looking for? The one where you mod the switch so you can run the window up and down without the ignition on?

Or the one where you mount a switch in the back so you can roll the window down from inside the cargo area?

I have them bookmarked at home and will send you the link.

Shoot if you find them, post them up. More places they show up in the search the better. I might be in the market as well.

 

Actually niether. Guess I wasn't clear.
I'm looking for the one where you mount a door switch so when you open the tailgate the courtesy lights come on. I found the other two you mentioned above.

Thanks
RB

 

ID like to see those first 2 mentioned links if you dont mind.

Thanks,
Caleb

 

Me too

 

4crawler's cheap tricks has the afore mentioned threads. I am on my phone, so sorry, you aren't getting links out of me right now.

I would like to see the courtesy light write as well, though.

 

I would like to see all the above

 

I would also like to see these links

 

relay modification so you don't need power on for window operation.

Additional interior switch

 

I posted this in the cheap mods thread before i realized i had a thread here.

If you want to open(unlock) the tailgate and have the courtesy lights illuminate, here is what i did(there is probably another way to wire into the harness)
Open the tailgate so you have access to the 3 pin connector that hangs off the driver side latch mechanism. FSM reference 'Door Lock Detection Switch'
Trace the center(pin 2 Green/Red stripe) to a desired location to tap into. (i tapped it in the tailgate and ran a wire form the connector to the driver courtesy switch, i have the entire interior out of the truck) You could trace the wire down the harness and closer to the driver side courtesy switch in the kick panel and connect(tap/splice) to the red/white stripe wire form the switch., drink a beer you are done. well maybe put stuff back together.
I installed a second courtesy light by the wiper housing, i simply ran two wires to the 'A' pillar driver side where the original courtesy connects to the wire harness. I also ran a ground wire from the light to the wiper motor to act a a ground since i installed the light into plastic. This allows the 'ON' setting to work.
BTW, i replaced all my interior lights with LEDs...two courtesy, two deck-lights, two map lights, two door lights.

enjoy
