XLT trucks with push button start cup holder/ambient lighting

heres the connectors guys, youll be installing a wire from c2280c pin 4 to c212 pin 30 if you have the connectors in the footwell. if you dont youll be adding just the c2280c connection with the harness. Ive added the connector view for C2280E

For those who are doing this don’t make the rookie mistake I did when installing the jumper wire. Make sure you remove the green clip from the white harness and the red one from the black before inserting the pins. I had to learn the hard way.

What does PTS stand for?

Push to Start.

I will have pictures of my install tonight. I have the Push to Start without the connectors present. Working with JHForman812 made this job easy to do. We are both on off shifts at our normal jobs so contact is easy for us. I had a couple hiccups along the way but they were worked through pretty quickly. I will be adding the under seat lights at a different time so I will be contacting him for a jumper harness to go from the cup holder lights down to the bottom of the seats. I believe it should be fairly easy. I do hope the pictures help the guys that are having a difficult time trying to visualize how the harness is ran and hooked up to the lights.

Huge shout out to JHForman812 for all the help with this one.

I have a PTS 302A and am ready to tackle this upgrade. I have the connector on the driver's side, but don't think I do on the passenger side, right? What's next please?

EDIT: Oops "it'll be in a holder"... let me look again

Driver's side

Passenger side

If you have the drivers you definitely have the passenger.

Perfect, thank you. I'll tear the other cover(s) off once I get there then. PM you to order the harness and then order the OEM parts next, yes?

Sounds good

Last question: I didn't see mention of adding the media bin light in this thread. Is that a separate process/harness and, obviously, additional OEM parts?

 

[Texas2022XLT]

Take the glovebox out and you'll see the one on the passenger side, it'll have a little yellow tape plugged into a holder. See the picture below. As for the media bin yes you'll need the harness from John and the media bin light.

Friendly reminder to @Puffy929 and @Texas2022XLT to please post any pics/instructions to aid the install, thanks guys!
