is my SLT prewired for map lights?

[diymirage]

i need to replace the passenger side sun visor on my 2017 SLT because the trim around the mirror is cracked
im sure the wife would love to have the map light or vanity light, but mine did not come with that...should i expect the wires to be there?

I would say the wires "should" be there,but you'll have to drop the front of the headliner to find them

How to Add Overhead Console

Finally installed the console in my Express. Here is a run down for all who are interested in this mod. I decided to keep it simple and cheap with just the basic console, map lights only. Your going to need the following parts: Console retainer: 55365119AC Overhead Console: 1PQ03BD1AA 3...

I installed the OEM overhead console, just lights, in my 2018 2500 Tradesman. Fairly straightforward, but you will need a wiring harness and Mike at M²Mods can supply it and the technical help to get it all wired up. I actually had to run a wire across my truck to get the lights working properly. More than likely the install will not be just a plug in activity but isn't difficult. Other than not having the anticipated door-switched wire where it should have been, it took me about 45 minutes to do it all. Good luck.

No kidding on the wiring

I added a push button dome light to the back of the truck, was a royal pain to hook up
(The point was to have the kids in the back seat be able to turn the light on or off on thier own)

First time I hooked it up (pulling a keyed hot from the front) something funny happened

If the switch was off, the light worked as expected, but when the dome light was off, and the kids pressed the switch BOTH dome light would come up

Great fun

It turned out the factory hot was acting as a ground when I turned my self ran hot on

Nothing a little one way resistor couldn't stop

I can't attest to other trucks but my SLT was a plug and play the wires were there and I have had no problems with it I did it when I changed my headliner to black
