So i don’t know if anyone has installed these themselves but I am having the greatest issue with the steps not going up as soon as I was done installing them. The only thing from their instructions I had to change was splicing one of the purple wires into a white/blue wire because my connection adapter under my steering wheel does not have a solid blue wire that it states to tap into. Does anyone have any recommendations or maybe someone that has installed these can walk me through what I’m doing wrong?

I haven’t installed these but I know it’s the driver’s door (ajar ?) sensor that is the wire to tap into. Is this what the blue wire you have tapped labeled as ? It’s not the same wire that activates the dome lights b/c the steps would activate when the remote unlocked & lights up interior.

You know what I was too embarrassed to reply back after I made this post but I feel like you deserve it atleast for trying to help lol.

I realized after watching the install videos (for the 20th time) I wasn’t matching the wire colors at all. On the instructions that came with the kit it says white, blue and black. So I figured that was the colors…. I was completely wrong it was the adapter colors to the electric board that you use to match the colors on the wiring kit…. So now after a few hours of googling and YouTube videos I finally have working steps.
