The tap harness for these is just an extra unnecessary harness - especially if you're tapping a control module like this with 30+ wires on it. It's much easier to tap two wires - takes 5 minutes of your time.

Picture of the BCM and the plug you need to remove, is below. It's outlined in the red box. Remove this plug and remove/pull back the black shield covering the wires. Expose the wires. Locate the sky blue wire and the mint (light) green.

(NOTE: You are looking for the mint "light" green, NOT the thicker dark green wire)

Proceed to tap the following wires:

• WHITE (SILL HARNESS) connects to > SKY BLUE (BCM HARNESS)
• RED (SILL HARNESS) connects to > MINT GREEN (BCM HARNESS)

DISREGARD WHERE THE RED WIRE WIRE IS PLUGGED INTO.
TAP THE CONNECTOR HARNESS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE RED BOX AND USE THE WIRES MENTIONED ABOVE.

 

Thanks so much...YES that's the harness I was looking at.

Wild question...why is the red wire connecting to the other harness?

 

I knew someone would ask about this LOL. That is just a 12v source. I will now make a reference in my post above to disregard where the red wire is plugged into.

 

I see it now...big red and bold! You da man for snapping the pic

Now I can put my car back together again LOL!

 

They sure do look nice. Can't turn them down for $99 + free shipping

Please pardon the terrible iPhone pics. I'll need to snap some photos with my Nikon

 

connoisseur,

thanks for the amazing and detailed DIY write up. It was awesome and very detailed. Couldn't have done it without you. Thank you very much.

I also see what you mean about dremeling out that a piece of the drivers side since its a tight fit for the wire.

 

It's more of an OCD thing for me. The way I see it, when that wire has it's own slot to fit into, it ensures there won't be any chaffing or pressure crimping the wires.

I'd recommend it to everyone if you have a dremel or a grinder. Doesn't need to be done - you could alternatively put a piece of the provided foam tape down, wrap the shielded wire itself with some foam tape and call it a day. It's not really in a spot where pressure would typically be applied but you never know.

 

Conner, if you have the time (and desire) could you put that great info together in a new DIY thread, I'll even "sticky" it for you.

 

I'd be glad to do that.

 

Full DIY posted in the link below. I still need to add a blurb and pictures for how I secured my wires - I will get around to that this week. Hope this can help you all out.

Got my sills installed today thanks to Connor! His DIY was a great help. For the guys worried about tapping wires, it's not bad at all. It was my first time doing something like this and it was very easy.

 

wow, when will this deal happen again! I've been searching for it but dang its pricey from the dealer
