1st thing I did was make a wiring harness. I wanted to put a waterproof connector on the end to tap into the running lights on the headlamps but was out. I would recommend doing this if you decide to do this to make your life easier for future grille removal. Here is the harness before install:
Here is what I used for each bulb. The kit I order were Anzo branded and can with 4 bulbs and have nothing but a light and bolt. I added a rubber grommet and a metal washer to each to make them fit snug.
This is how I mounted the bulbs. I placed one dead center above A, then counted out 4 to 5 holes each way. The bulb fits fairly secure on its own from the front but wanted to ensure no "wiggle" or possibility of slippage when tightened from the back so looking at it from the front this is how I inserted them from the front. On the backside I slipped on the metal washer and then bolted them down.
After it was all tightened down I actually soldered the harness onto the back. Small breakaway connectors would work to. Your choice! Here is the back of the grill. Ran them to the passenger side as running them to the driver side would have required cutting into the back of the grille. All the loom is secrured with zip ties and lies behind the RAM logo as this to not be not I able from the front of the grille through the vent holes. (work smarter not harder!)
Okay, here is where I should have made connections that were removeable. I'll fix this myself in the future. Actually already got more connectors in just don't want to rip it all back apart. I turned on my running lights and used a VOM to find the power and ground. For me it ended up being ground on pin #9 (one of two solid black wires on the harness) and positive was on pin #2 which was a white wire with orange stripes. Fyi one side of pin is odd numbered other is even. In this pic the positive is at the top and the ground is the bla k one in the middle.
I don't really have anything very clear from here to give you since I didn't do anything other then solder the harness of which wasn't fun. You'll just have to decide how you want to tap in if you want to go this route. You can always wire them to a toggle if you want too. I just don't want a ton of toggle switches in my can. Here is the final product after it was all put back together. Any questions let me know!
After towing my camper for the first time I noticed I didn't have a trailer brake (I know too late to notice that). Has anyone installed the Mopar brake controller?
I did some searching but not finding much. Can the pedals be manually adjusted? I have a 2018 which doesn’t have the adjustable pedal option. That’s fine but ever since I got it the gas pedal position just isn’t comfortable. Seems like I should be able to make it closer to the floor if I want...
I just recently purched and 2016 an want to install an amplifier and aftermarket subwoofer since mine didn’t come with it.
My question is:
Are there RCA and remote wire on the back of the factory stereo? If not what other parts do I need other then a basic amp wiring kit.
Thank you for what...
