2009 WK Door ajar sensor wiring location and coloring
tl:dr - I am trying to physically locate the 4 'door ajar' sensor wires in my 2009 WK Jeep Grand Cherokee to trigger my powersteps deployment when the doors open.
There isn't a kit for the WK, so i choose a 4 door wrangler step kit to adapt. I have the step brackets attached to the WK, step motors installed and the main power wiring connected. When connected the brackets fully retracted as expected. I have the 4 trigger wires thru the firewall and into the cab. I have removed the Driver and Passenger door sill trim and located the 2 bunches of wires. I located This wiring diagram (INTERIOR LIGHTS – Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 2009 – SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS – Wiring diagrams for cars) which (supposedly) describes colored wires for the corresponding door ajar sensors in the 2009 WK, but the colors don't match to what i am seeing on my jeep.
Any knowledge of the location and color of the door ajar wires for DF//PF//PR on a 2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7L Overland is appreciated. Other information I am installing a powerstep kit designed for the 4 door Wrangler ('07-'18 JK AMP part# 75122-10A) powerstep kit instructions (https://www.4wheelparts.com/sku/AMP-...JK4DR_2007.pdf). Some light welding to create holders for the stock powerstep brackets allowed me to mount to the pinch weld and a small angle bracket welded to the frame allowed me to brace the step mounts. I trimmed the aluminum extruded steps by 2 inches to fit between my 35's and some extensions for the battery wires were the only mods required. That makes it sound easy, but i also had to teach myself to weld and honestly it is not 100% complete yet, so . . . . I couldn't find any relevant search results on this forum, I found this jeepgarage post Illuminated Door Sill Guards which had the following installation guide providing power from the under-dash light. Any door open would drive motors on both sides and lower both steps. Not the ideal outcome for any tight parking situations. I continue to search. thanks for any help. Chris |
I spent some additional time under the driver side dash looking at wires, trying to narrow things down. Took the following approach:
After that i think i go into the big branch of wire flowing in the sill. I am not excited to dig deeper behind the dash for another bunch of wires. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.che...bafd626dfb.jpg 2009 WK Drivers Front wires |
