You could always measure the voltage on the power lead / ground leg with a multi-meter. If not, it is a 20 amp fuse at location 48 in the engine bay. Ask me how I know this.

I'm curious, looking at trading in my '13 on a '16, and I wonder if I could upcycle my substage from my '13 with a new box & the wpt1212 harness.

Lucas,

When does this remote turn on? With accessory or with doors open? I wired my amp to fuse 23 which is accessory, but I need it to turn on when I open doors.

Any idea? Many thanks!

And anytime the ACM activates: open the door, unlock the truck with the remote, etc.. I had to wire a separate remote turn on.

Can you please explain that? I ran a remote to fuse 23, and I'll be moving it to that point on the harness. Did you run a separate (meaning second) remote?

Anyone in the STL, MO area? That has Forscan and can activate this connector for the Sub for me?


Dealer with id's can do this to?

The turn on wire that is built into the factory harness goes live (with +6V) whenever the ACM turns on, which is frequently before the radio, causing a pop.

So I ran my own turn on wire and didn't use the one in the harness.
