DIY 5.0 to 8.4 Navigation upgrade

[R.L.K.]

Where can I buy the harness for a 7 speed fan? I've pm'd curly but haven't gotten an answer. Harness-connections.us has been down for days.

P.M. getupkid here on the forum, he use to make them for people .

J142 I have looked at the writeup ctpwing did. (Thanks ctpwing) but i am still a little confused. Maybe when i finish modifying the Harness 68048906AA (Thanks Loveracing1988) & open it up behind the glovebox, it will make more sense to me. Mpgrimm2, I will try & take some pictures & post them when i am done if any of them will truly add to what cptwing has posted. The harness I got from " The Harness Connection" appears to be made to install the Control Module 68105017AE underneath the Radio. cptwing's installs in the proper location on the passenger side. I am sure this will all make sense once i tear everything apart.

I've had a few people ask me to make them a harness the past few days. I have a few parts but not enough for all the people who have asked. I will put in another order if there are a few other people interested. I could order parts today and get a few shipped out this weekend. If you have a 2013 with the 4 speed blower, I have had some issues the past few weeks getting the oem harnesses in from moparonlineparts, I will need to know upfront if you need that harness as well and it usually takes a week or two to get them in. It sounds like the harness connection is out of town for a while, otherwise I would just recommend you to him. PM me if your interested.

To all , I have one of getupkid's 2014 7 speed blower harnesses.

I aquired new from a member here Idaram I believe , can't remember what I paid for it .
I would let it go if someone is in absolute need , I plan on doing the RA4AN Upgrade in the future just not now ! I am aquiring bits and pieces here and there . I'm not out to make a profit , just enogh to cover a replacement + shipping .

@ getupkid what do you charge for the 2014 7 speed fan harness sir ? And please confirm my picture below of what I believe to be one of your 2014 7 speed blower harnesses.

I have bought two of Kid's harnesses and they were both completely white. They were very well made and worked perfectly. Nothing like buying a harness from one of the guys who actually invented it!

 

[getupkid]

Thanks Rick! Yeah, mine at all white, that looks like culvertechs

R.L.K. unless you are trying to free up some funds for another project I would hold on to that harness. The harness is the only part of the conversion that you have to have custom made. It seems like it is feast or famin with those things. You can look for one for months with no luck and then three members will be selling them at once. If you have the harness you already have the most important piece.

My bad ! The guy I bought it from said he "thought" it was yours ..

 

[R.L.K.]

To all I believe I'll just hold on to mine ..

That isn't mine... All of mine are multicolor and the 8 pin lead comes off the harness about 1 1/2" down from the connector at a 90° angle like pictured

To to ease my mind, using bezel's and RA4's from 2500's and 3500's are all the same right?

Ok so I've ordered the harness, 911 error plug and the heater control module. Going to be ordering the bezel and RA4 today hopefully. I just want to get a picture of the bezel before to make sure it's what I want. Does that sound like all I'll need? Is this all really just plug and play once I get the old radio out and start connecting the new one? I'll get some double sided tape to mount the heater module on the radio.

I know what the end result is(hope that didn't sound condescending, didn't mean it that way). I just want to make sure I'm not having to do any saudering or anything, b/c that's not my thing I haven't seen anyone say that, but I'm just trying to re-check everything as I'm starting to buy everything I need now.

on a side note, do they even make a AC bezel non dual zone WITHOUT rear defrost? I could only find one with rear defrost, so I just got it anyways.

The rear defrost button is also to activate the heating elements in your side view mirrors, that switch is necessary to turn them on and off. I do not believe, but could be wrong that the side mirrors come non heated. My truck is the lowest of the low in trim (ST Tradesman) and mine are heated, but they are also tow mirrors. If your side mirrors have a icon etched on the mirror glass that resembles the image on the rear defrost button then yours are heated as well.

Also the 8.4 equipped trucks may not have a rear defrost, a lower equipped bighorn for instance, but I would bet they all have heated side mirrors.

 

[R.L.K.]

For what it's worth : My 1500 is an ST and I have heated mirrors. ..
