Door Sill Plates -Wiring for Illuminated Plates

[surprisinguy]

I've searched and as far as I can determine this hasnt been answered?
Does the 2015 3.8 have the wiring for the aftermarket OEM illuminated door sill plates - so they can just be plugged in?

Sadly, no. Doesn’t make much sense, considering that the first gen had plug and play wiring. It took me 30 minutes to install my OEM LED sill plates on my ‘12 Premium Package 3.8. They look great!

The good news is that you can wire them yourself, or any auto shop can easily do it for you.

Don’t pout. Just get an auto/audio shop to do it for you. Don’t bother with rear LED sill plates. Just install the fronts.

My son in law installed mine on our 2016 Ultimate,and the do look really nice,though beware the tend to be rather difficult to see because of the interior lights will wash them out somewhat.

You can but them with harness and that also comes with instructions and shows you step by step on how to remove all plastic covers and then how to wire up new plates. I installed mine on a lunch break at work. And yes, it is hard to see them lit up when your dome lights are on.

I found the instructions. If anyone needs it, let me know and I will take pics and share.

I don't have any wiring diagrams so won't be able to help you with this. I got mine with harness so I didn't really have to figure anything out. You can still tap into the same wires as in the instructions. You can run your own wire.

Thank you. That helps. Appreciate you as always.

You are welcome. If you want to connect them to the BCM like you would do with OEM harness, you would have to route the new cables to the passengers side glove compartment area where the BCM with 3 connectors is located. Then splice both + and - from both sills together so then you will only splice one + and one - into BCM:


And below you will find an info on which wires from BCM to tap into:
