    I kinda wish the button was the same blue, but I really think it should say “on” on top and “off” on the button and have the neutral position be “auto.” First world problems, but it’s weird that it has to be pushed In the down position the whole time.

    No need. Already had a spare from the order to update the T-harness and pod plastics. All wired up and together already.

    Seems to be acting as intended. No more charging system alert and dims with interior domes.

    Crossing the wire in the Splitter was feeding a constant hot 12V into the wiring which seemed to be causing the issue.

    Good to know it's working now. We're actually updating the kit for the next batch so it's easier to see if the wires are crossed.

    I can’t find a place to attach the ground to? I’m mounting the switch next to rear sliding window switch.

    I used the 10mm bolt left of the lower air bag. Circled red in the pic below. I have a 2017 and my rear slider is in the left cubby.

    Sorry I have a 2018 and the rear sliding switch is under the HU. On the left side I have the “auto high beams” switch.

    @Tacospike can help.

    Where did you ground your switch again?

    you think this would suffice?

    I grounded my switch that way and it’s been working fine for the last week or so.

    Sorry for the late response. I used the radio to ground but where you have it should be fine. :)

    so you need a small slot space for the switch. I would say if you can move the auto light to a tall switch slot above it. You will need to get a tall switch for this and check the back first to make sure the pin harness is the same. I found out the hard way on the bed outlet switch that it’s not the same pin harness as after market, anyways. That way you can use that auto light spot for the puddle switch
