MESO Puddle Light build

Off....

 

Mine is wired in to the door switch. I’m out of spots in my switch pro. But I think I’m going to have to add a switch somewhere.

 

Doesn’t work on mine. I checked that first. I always have mine in the off position.

 

I gotcha.

I just use Meso’s puddle switch and I can leave it on auto, or turn it off when I’m cleaning or working on the truck.

 

I think I’m going to try this. I thought maybe I was missing something because they’ve turned off before with the door open. But it’s been an hour or so and then are still on.

 

Temp solution, cab fuse box...

pull it...

 

Good call. I’ll do that next time.

However after an hour and a half or so they turned off.

For placing the/your switch in the overhead console...


15 is fused power to the Puddles...T harness may be from Video T of Brian @ https://www.anytimebackupcamera.com/

 

Per @MESO on their website a “You must have OUR V2 puddle light kit already installed on your truck to use this switch. To check if you have the V2 puddle kit look at your #1 A-Pillar T-Harness and if the 4 pin connector wires are color you have V2, if they are black you have V1.”

I have the V1 all black harness . Is there any reason why the switch wouldn’t work ?

 

I have the original all black harness . Follow this guide for the puddle switch. I opted to use option 2 and cut / modified the puddle switch.

I tapped into the 5A panel fuse under the dash for the switch illumination.

 

Finally got em installed! Took about 4 hours taking my time. Way easier to remove the boot on driver and passenger doors. Pass stock harnesses through and you’ll have way more room to work. That was the hardest part of the install!

 

Also be very careful not to lose the white clips for the interior triangle shaped trim pieces that cover the bolts to the side view mirrors...I lost 3

 

Be interesting to find that part number...I attempted the install but it got too hot. Lost one myself

Holy most expensive piece of plastic ever! Of course the stealership would charge 6 bucks a piece I lost one of these pieces too

thank you for this

 

I saw your post too late...but good looks for other members

 

So as I was removing my door badge, I noticed the LED lens is cracked and condensation is also building up.

Seems to work fine, wouldn't have noticed it otherwise. Just worried about long term use.
