XLT trucks with push button start cup holder/ambient lighting

[JHForman812]

Ok guys I am here to help. This ONLY APPLIES to PTS trucks. I am working on something for the key guys too. Im gonna tag in some people here @Puffy929 and @PFXLT so with that said lets dive in!! Ok if you are one of the lucky ones ths firs section will apply to you! Some XLT PTS trucks have the connectors for the footwell ambient lights the drivers side will gray and it will be an open connector on the bracket above your feet like this




ML3Z-1513562-CB full cup holder assembly
ML3Z-14A318-C Media bin light
ML3Z-14A411-C Glove box light

OEM footwell lamp part numbers
ML3Z-14A318-J(front)
ML3Z-14A411-B(front)
ML3Z-14A318-B(rear)
ML3Z-14A318-A (rear)

on the passenger side youll have a black one it will be in a holder

so if you have these adding ambient lights to the foot wells is pretty easy along with adding the cup holder you will have to install a wire that runs from pin 4 on the BCM connector C2280C. this will run to connector C212 pin 30(white connector)

after you add this wire the foot well ambient light connectors will be active. you have to turn on ambient lights in the APIM using forscan.
heres the wire that will be added. I will include it with the cup holder harness if youre an XLT truck.

Ok now for the XLT PTS guys that arent lucky enough to have the connectors. I Have come up with a solution for you too. you must still add the BCM connection. the connection not labeled on here is for a media bin light. the BCM connection is going to be connector C2280E pin 38 and BCM C2280C pin 4

Ok guys, I have redesigned my non connector truck ones. heres the updated version. the 2 connectors that are circled will connect together. the rest go where they are labeled. when you get the harness(or build your own) you have to add 2 connections to the bcm the white wire is C2280E and the red wire is C2280C the black wire is self explanatory its a ground ring terminal. theres a ground post directly beside the BCM.

You’re a legend! I’m PTS XLT but don’t have the connectors. I definitly want to do this ASAP. Does the passenger footwell light just clip into that felt cover thing? I didn’t see a solid metal bracket like on the driver side. Also is it possible to do the door lights now too or way more than it’s worth?

yeah it just clips into the felt liner. Door lights I haven’t looked into too much but it’s probably not that easy

yup

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

now for the Forscan changes, HUGE shoutout to @Jesse-Infotainment for the changes I was missing. I worked with @ralphtejada he installed the wire from c2280c to c212 and installed my cup holder harness. we made all the forscan changes, and now his truck has ambient footwell and cup holder lights. if you do this you have to make these changes in order to get the ambient lights to turn on.

726-49-01 01xx-xxxx-xxxx
726-45-01 xxxx-xx03-xxxx
7D0-01-02 xxxx-x0xx-0xxx (these need to be adjusted to whatever your vehicle has option wise) on the XLT I just helped with he went from xxxx-x2xx-1xxx to xxxx-x6xx-xxxx(only 1 change was needed here)
7D0-01-03 0xxx-xxxx-xxxx(again adjust to vehicle options) his was a 5 so we left it as a 5

you can look all these up in @Livnitup spreadsheet to see what you should set them as.

Beautiful, We were talking back in May about this before my surgery. I had to go look at my Wife's truck and think we have the plugs. My single cab only has a turn-key so didn't bother to look.

You got what you need to do the footwell lights and the cup holders.

I bought the cup holder last yr when I first spoke to you about it lol.

Another successful PTS XLT here. I went a little further and also added the rear footwell lights. The harnesses @JHForman812 makes are spot on and made very well.

Can someone please provide prices for parts? Mine is a PTS XLT with the connectors. I already have Forscan. Thanks for this thread!!

Thanks for the write-up! This is great! I rode in a Lariat the other day and it had the ambient lighting in the footwells and doors, got to say, I liked the look. Are the ambient lights dimmable?

Also, where is the plug under the driver's seat located for driver's rear passenger seat the ambient light? Seems like my truck has 3 out of the 4 footwell light plugs.

Here's my truck's configuration:
1. Driver's front seat footwell - found
2. Passenger's front seat footwell - found
3. Rear passenger's seat footwell (under passenger seat) - found
4. Rear driver's seat footwell (under driver's seat) - missing...?

Is PTS push to start?

I'll more than likely be looking into this for my XLT. I do miss the ambient lighting from my last few vehicles.

Thank you for the write up!
