Adding Footwell Lighting

[Mike67]

I've been looking for the front footwell lighting plugs I've heard existed, but can't seem to locate them. Truck is a 2020 Tradesman 2500 Crew Cab. Anyone have any luck locating them on the 2020's and if so where did you find them? Thanks in advance.

Good question, I need more light in my cab, the lights seem very dim.

Anybody figure this one out? I found a thread for 4th gen and a 4th gen kit......

maybe @Jimmy07 will pop in and give some input.

Something else I didn't know I needed, but now I do.

 

[elephantrider]

yah I'd definitely do that mod if it's not too difficult.

I haven’t heard of anyone reporting if they are there on any trim level, but if they are, these are the locations. I imagine them being taped back with foam on the connectors.

Looks like it’ll be trickier adapting aftermarket LEDs to the connector because it’s using two separate circuits to drive them-

those diagrams cannot be beat.

Went searching this morning on the passenger side. Don't believe either of the two I found are for the footwell lights, remotely the black one maybe. There's a green plug as well, not sure what it does. Both were on the "door" side area, the green one was further back. I was able to pull the black one out enough to take a rudimentary photo. Got tired of the Christmas tree plug for the bottom, carpeted panel and replaced all three with push pins. At least it will be easier to access when I go searching again.

Take a look and let me know, or at least what the green and also the black plugs are for.

Thanks.

The black plug is for the mirror jumper harness that would go the the rear view mirror and cab lights. If it’s not plugged into anything, I’m assuming you don’t have cab lights, and you have the base rear view mirror with no auto dim.
The green connector is the canbus c junction block.

I don't have a power rear view mirror so that explains it. Appreciate the explaination, I'll keep searching for that elusive footwell light pigtail.

On my 4th gen they were right where they were supposed to be and it was a 2 minute install. I'm guessing there aren't any on the 4.5 gens because I searched everywhere and couldn't find anything.

I spent quite a bit of time myself looking for the connections with zero luck, I've come to the same conclusion that the 4.5's must not have them. Was thinking about running a wire from the connector under the rear seat.

I’ve been searching for the elusive plug myself. I did find a small black plug in the correct areas just a few inches away…..but it does not fit the footwell lamp I bought.

I did this to my 2018 Ram and used a different light. I wonder if the harness is for this light but has all the dash stuff for the other PN.

I don’t have a clue but would like to plug these dang things up and get some light on the floor!

None of the 2019+ HD Rams come with the footwell light connectors that aren’t equipped from the factory.

Dang that’s a bummer! Is it possible to add it? I have the lights, just nothing to plug them up

I’m sure I can come up with something. I’ll have to see if connector parts are available.
