The grey plug will be included with the harness you get from M2 Mods. Your Tradesman will not come with the wiring harness that plugs into the driver side seat. The gray plug has 5 wires that go from it to the passenger seat two wires that go to the heated steering wheel connection under your column and two more wires that hook up to your CAN connection under the driver side kick panel. This it's similar to what your truck will look like after you install the M2 mods harness. The gray plug will be included with it.Okay, got my seats installed last night and ran a temp power wire (RED) to adjust the seat until I get the harness. I am a little confused on the wiring under the driver seat. My tradesman seat had Two grey plugs and a gray cell phone charger looking connection under the seat that were all just daisy chained together with the other ends going under the carpet to the center console (assuming to the center console and passenger seat). My new seat had a yellow plug and a grey plug but after plugging everything back in I am not sure what gets plugged into the Grey plug that was attached to the seat. The Tradesman seat only had one yellow plug to begin with attached on the underside where these two plugs are at under the driver seat.
When I originally converted my truck I did it a little bit differently then the factory way to get power to my seats. There were connectors that were not present in my PCM( power distribution center, also known as a,fuse box) so I just ran a relay from the battery. When M2 mods came out with her harness I felt as much better option so I bought one. This is a picture of the actual harness I received. You can see the gray plug in it. I have worked with both of these guys and I can assure you when you get your harness you will be blown away by how well it's made and the attention to detail. Every single wire will be marked where it goes you just need to pay attention to the schematics and instructions and make sure you plug in everything in the correct pin.
Now I have to see about getting another one shipped! I am going to at least get everything wired up without the clockspring and not have the heated wheel for a little bit the seats should still work from what I have read? Hey all, quick update my harness from Deere (Thank you) will be here today so I will try and get this all installed over the weekend. I got my Steering Wheel put on and was waiting on the clockspring and USPS lost the package and put it in someone else's parcel locker and cannot find it
Also, when I did my 8.4 swap I had a bunch of apps on my screen including the "controls" icon and now they all went missing. Anyone know why this happened and how I get the controls button back on the screen? When I got mine I noticed from XM radio that it was out of a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee so not sure if that has something to with it.
super cheap compared to everything else I was finding. I will try and get some pictures up today of the seats and everything working. Thank you everyone for their help in getting another one done and in the books.
Congradulations glad to hear you got it done. I definitely enjoy using my auto start and having it nice and warm when I get in. As far as your controls button goes I'm not quite sure what would cause it to dissappear if it was there for the backup cam before. I am sure Deer Guy had you do all the proper resets to try to get it back. One suggestion I might recommend is if you know anybody else with a 13 to 16 Ram install the radio in their truck and enter the security code. Once it activates in their truck remove it and install it back in your truck and activate the security code again. When you do that the truck will read your options and hopefully pick up on control button. I have used that trick in the past to get my voice texting working again. When and if you ever add the actual seat codes it will definitely bring up the control screen button again on your radio and hopefully the backup cam would be in it again. Good luck.cpotts, I found mine on car-part.com out of a wrecker close to me for $150
Just a update all with freezing fog and 16 degrees this morning I installed the harness from Deere last night (Everything I was expecting and heard from other members very High quality and labeled very well thanks again Deere) The install took 3.5 hours by myself very simple plug and play. I had no codes installed from the dealer or AE tool and everything works. My seats and wheel were out of a 2015 Ram 1500.
I spoke with Deere regarding the 8.4 missing the "controls" soft key and we have tried the basic stuff ie factory reset checked software version 17.11.07 and all that seems correct. Pre seat install the only thing I had installed from the factory that would have shown up on the screen is the backup camera and I know that to get the seats to show up I will need to have the code added for the seats and wheel. Anyone have any other ideas about the controls soft key simply missing? Regardless, the Heated wheel and seats was well worth the $ the limited wheel wood on top gets way warmer than the full leather
I'm sorry I thought your truck was a 16. I can't see your profile on my phone. You are correct if your truck is a 15 or older you will not have the control screen button for the backup camera.
Unfortunately from what I'm understanding after talking to 00/RT unless I'm mistaken the option is not in our body control modules at all so there is nothing to flag it on the radio.
Just an very minor inconvenience.
