Have a 2019 Ram 1500 Express Classic. Ordered my kit via my VIN through Benny at AllMoparParts. The kit that showed up included the two lights, switch, and harness.
Got everything installed fairly easily all the way up to terminating the pins. F that under dash area FUUUUUUUU! Scratched my hands and arms all to hell.
Instructions call for terminating one pin into C6 pin 26 and C1 pin 5. Well I finally got the C6 connector out and it looked like there was already a wire terminated in 26??
At that point I was already getting sore and tired and sweating like a pig all over the floor (thanks Texas) so I said F it and pulled the wires to the side and buttoned everything back up. Might just take it to the dealer and say finish it. Plus then they can flash the sales code for the switch so that will be functional.
For a moment I thought about doing what Boosted Motorsports did in his YT video and tapping the other wires, but I wasn’t sure how that would affect the functionality of the switch.
After I re-connected the battery I found that opening my front door no longer triggered the interior lights or my amp research steps (rear doors still do). Turning the truck on, I have codes for parking, brake, reverse, and marker lights out (all are LED now and had been set to LED via alphaOBD), my radio display doesn’t come on, annnnnnnd AC button does nothing...lol
I’m guessing I didn’t seat that C6 connector correctly or accidentally gorilla’d something else loose.
That or, the directions called for disconnecting the negative battery terminal and also unplugging a connector right there by the negative terminal as well. I’ve never disconnected that previously. Wonder if that had anything to do with me loosing my LED settings.
EDIT: Took everything apart again this morning. Confirmed I do have a wire already termintated in pin 26 on the C6 connector. Didn't even bother trying to get my hand up to the C1 connector lol. Buttoned everything back up, made sure I plugged in the C6 connector in firmly and locked it in as well as connecting the plug next to the battery prior to re-attaching the negative battery connections. Powered up the truck and all features are back to working as they should. Though I may still need to check AlfaOBD to ensure all my LED changes are still present.
