Signal lights on running board LED strips

[tomsr12962]

I have a 2022 Ram 2500 6.7l Cummins. No snow plow package, aux switches, pick up box on. I have OPT7 rigid LED lights strips mounted to the pinch area below the cab doors. All the mounting is done, the light controller is mounted and powered. There are three wires, one for parking lights, one for left turn and one for right turn. The parking light wire is all taken care of. I don't want to wire-tap or scotch lock into existing factory wiring. I have researched all the upfitter schematics, VSIM, etc. The PDC (fuse box) under the hood has trailer RT/Stop and Trailer LT/Stop fuses that I can fuse tap into, but the OPT7 light will come on while braking since the trailer circuit includes "Stop".
Any idea of where I can pick up a right turn signal and a left turn signal to power the sequential LED OPT7 strip?

There is no "fuse" for those, they are powered from the BCM under your dash so you will have to wire tap into them somewhere.

I have 18 pages of upfitter schematics. What is a BCM?

It’s the body control module. Basically one of the computers that takes care of lighting and other features on the truck.

Why not hook them up to the trailer wiring plug?

Trailer plug has combination Right turn/ stop and left turn/ stop Same as PDC under hood

Like mentioned, it's the body control module which controls many functions of the vehicle, to include the lights. Word of caution tapping into to any of those, I would use a diode in the circuit if you do so you don't have any back current and cause any "light out" CEL's. Also be careful how much additional draw you put on those circuits. While LED's don't draw much you might want to consider putting a relay in there and driving the lights off that just to make sure.

I have this done, used trailer plug wire and a converter box to drop the brake signal out. I used truck lite dual bright ambers (little rectangle ones) on each side step bracket.
The strip lites will be a commanding look.

Yes all the lights could be ran by the trailer wiring with the Curt t harness no splicing of OEM wires
