Pix: 07 Tahoe Front Doors' Flood Lights

[jz57]

Does any one know 07 Tahoe front doors' flood light should work or not? Or just a reflector lens?

My 07 Tahoe has that lens, but when door is open, there is no lighting. Since my 07 Tahoe is base model, so if you have high-end option, your Tahoe's, Suburban's, or Caddy's, .... flood light may working.

My 99 Tahoe has that light being on whenever the door is open.

See the picture:

It's just a lens. no light like the 06 and older...

It's a reflector on my LTZ but I know it's an actual light on the Esky's.

Here is the photo of the Esky door panel backside... you can see the wiring harness for the light:

OK, there is no light but a lens.

But, is there any light bulb socket or wire harness behind the door panel? If that the harness is there, th light bulb could ba added-on.

Like DIC switch or button on 07-Up Silverado and Tahoe PPV, some base model does not have that switch, but the wire harness is behind panel, you can add on a switch, just plug-in. See the picture, the switch is an added-on item by opening a rectangular hole on the panel:

I could be wrong but I don't see why you couldn't just order the socket/harness and bulb and hook it up. It only illuminates when the door is opened.

It's number 10 in the below image and 14 bucks each:

You are right, there is no issue to order it. But what is other end connect of Item 10? Wher to connect it? If there is no wire harness behind the door panel, how can be the Item 10 connected?

The wiring comes with the socket. I can't recall from when I had my door panel off but I think I recall seeing an empty socket on the window switch box where this may plug into or it may simply "tie" into the existing wiring. I'll dig around and see what I can find.

This picture shows the connector:



This picture shows the connector up near the switches:

I looked at doing this some time ago and it just fell off my radar. Honestly, even if there isn't a place to plug in the socket, it shouldn't be difficult to wire this in.

Good info! Thanks.

What is the color of Item 10 lens? Red or translucent?

BTW, do you have Item # 10 GM/Delco Part #? When I place order via GMPartsDirect.com, I will be handy if I have the part #.

Lens cover should be red.

I don't have the part number but I can navigate you to it for gmpartsdirect.com:
go to the catalog and select 2008 - CADILLAC - ESCALADE - ESV - BODY HARDWARE - FRONT DOOR - INTERIOR TRIM - Courtesy lamp

Once you get there you should see two items (as depicted in the picture on that page and referenced above)

left and right door courtesy lights. They are 13.49 each.
