The above wire is located behind the Driver's Side kick panel, and is yellow. To get to it you will need to open the door, and remove the panel that covers the fuse box. Then you will see that there is a little blue tab that holds the kick panel in place, push it up to unlock it and the rest is just held in with plastic pop pins. If you need me to post pics of the location i will!
Also, the lights now come on when you open the drivers side door, and turn off the same way the dome light does (theater dimming). They also turn on whenever the headlights are on!! I wired up a rocker switch, which i hid in the glove box to have the ability to turn them off completely, on all the time, or on with the rest of the ABL. |
The yellow wire is actually the instrument panel lighting circuit. The only difference between it and the ambient lighting is that you can't turn off your lighting completely. If you dim the lights, the ambient lighting will be off but the rest of the IP lighting will be on at the dimest level.
Another good location is the traction control switch.
