Tried tapping into my maps for the new foot well strips. It didn't work. There are 3 wires off the map harness~red black and purtle. The purple hit the red accidentally and now the maps don't come on when on the "door" switch part. it does push ad turn on but the other courtesy door-open doesn't work anymore. So when wires contacted-did it short the board? Checked all fuses and nothing. if anyone could help lmk thanks. Either that or I'll need to purchase a new map board. Thanks

 

Dang my bad think I posted in wrong section. Hard on my cell. mods correct if needed. Thanks

 

...

 

Bbbbbbb

 

OK. I tried another map light board assembly from another members z and does the same thing. It only turns on when I push the button on and I want it to light when i openthe door. any help appreciated. I tried a meter and the purple wire only reads ~6.2 ish volts. Idk was up or what happened when the 2 wires contacted and caused the tiny spark. I'd assumed popped a fuse but doesn't look like any are blown at all. this is driving me nuts.

 

Nobody prob has ever had this prob I Dont think.

 

Any help or ideas

 

I would try resetting the BCM before replacing it, Follow the following steps to reset the BCM,

- Open both doors.
- Disconnecting the neg battery terminal for 5 minutes.
- Re connect the battery.
- Close the doors.

 

Hmm. OK. will def try that after work. I disconnected batt last might and hooked back this morn= nothing on that part. But I will try your procedure. well appreciated.

 

Didn't work. guessing I'll be getting a new BC thanks

 

I'm going to try a new bcm eventually. but didn't know if anyone have any other ideas what else. just weird that push lights work and when door opes-that doesn't work. Wtf

 

I would double check ALL fuses; sometimes small things are controlled by random fuses that aren't labeled as such. Otherwise it could be a relay.

 

do u mean the light won't turn on when the sliding switch is on "Door" and either door is opened but u can still turn it on and off manually?
