Aux. cargo light

[1astrsk]

Hey guys I have a 95 yuk and as most of us know the cargo area is poorly illuminated. I have a simple led strip with a 12v in and a ground wire. Question is how can I hook this up to come on withe the rest of the lights when a door is opened? Anybody else done this? Thx

link it to the dome light circuitry.

Like Sunlit said, link it to the dome lights. Ground it to nearest ground-able point and run positive up to dome lights.

I need to test a bit more but it's like a reverse ground or switched ground.. Kinda has me in a loop right now. I'm hopin some one has done this before and can help reduce the geadaches :/

ground switched by white wire.

Just splice in power from the dome light circuit. I have a 42" strip in mine.

Ok thx guys. Hopefully get done today.

Haven't had anytime do finish this but for those who have done it, how did you splice the wiring? Power side to the orange wire and ground to black wire?

 

[SunlitComet]

about that. in OBS orange wires are the positive energy supply wiring.

Yeah I noticed. The white wire goes hot when the doors and hatch are closed and black is obviously ground. My busy ran off with the test light so I'm shooting from the hip a bit. So orange and black wire then? I do appreciate all the info
