I'm wanting to add some footwell lighting to my '07. I'll wire some leds to the overhead light circuit so I get light when the doors open and fade out with KO. However I also want a low constant light. I don't have a wiring diagram, so, does anyone know of a KO hot under the dash? I truly dislike probing wires upside down in the cramped footwell.

Kinya hep a brother out? TIA

Id say grab an add-a-fuse and hook into something like the stereo fuse. All you need is a test light to verify and no splicing.

My '09 had LED's in the center console cup holders and in the rear passenger area that were always on unless you cycled through the different colors to the off position. Why don't you tap into that wire?

I don't have the lighted console

I believe there may be an unused harness in the console for auto trans, it’s been years since I looked.

Otherwise Add a Fuse to the passenger footwell box is easiest.

There is a passenger footwell fuse box. That's where I wired my dash cam from. Can't remember which one is a KO, source though, sorry.
