Wires

[colport833]

I have been in the "Chrysler Wiring Diagrams" website...inputted my Vin..according to information a M11 YL-VT wire provides 12v to the Dome Light and two "optional" footwell" lights..uptrim levels have lighting under back seat as well using same color wires originating from Body Control Module C7/G. I am guessing YL=yellow and VT=Violet....if I was to tap this "Color"..I should in theory be able to run additional "Led" interior lights..?

I can't say for sure from experience. But might be careful. I've read a ton of threads where someone has tapped into a lighting source for something (bed light, led, etc) and the truck flipped out because the electrical system is that touchy. I'm sure someone will chime in that has done something similar though.

i need a little help, i just bought a ram 1500 and the guy did some radio wiring, now the radio blew out and the dome lights inside as well blew at the same time, they both come on at the same time and shut off and sometimes when they blow out my headlights go out as well, where would i even start to look to fix that problem?

All the aftermarket wiring that was installed. Sounds like maybe something is grounding out. Could be poor connection or wire could be up against some metal that has shaved the insulation off. I'd follow all the power and ground lines and check for connection issues or rubbing against metal.

There are multiple posts here on adding LED strips to the interior. I saw one where someone found an empty harness that was powered when the doors opened. This is probably the one you're referring to.
Lots of guys are tapping the wires in the side of the dash, by the driver door, but someone found a harness under the passenger side to plug in to.

Just run a search for interior led strips and I bet you'll find it.
