Maruzo, the headlight level adjustment will not work either so I would continue looking for the one amancuso and I got.

Great to have come across this thread.

Thanks for all the hard work from everyone on this.

I'll begin a search to locate my LCM.

Also, I have asked the iBus app developer if they could add the coding option noted in this thread to activate the rear fog.

Alternatively, I may employ the #3 pin to engage mine.

I have the TCM module installed and the factory trailer harness installed in the rear connector so I can go with the #3 Pin option or the #10 + #12 Pin options.

If you use pin #3 on the TCM there is no coding needed. Only if you use pins #10 and #12. Since pins #10 and #12 are occupied with wires from the main harness, you will need to tap into those where pin #3 is unoccupied and a simple wire with terminal can be placed in that spot. It just makes for a cleaner install without tapping or cutting wires.

You will of course have to run a wire from pin #3 or pins #10 and #12 of the TCM into tailgate lights and provide bulb holders as they are not there in US models so the code to turn those on in the IBus app really won't get it done in the end.

There is also the small wire from the rear fog enabled LCM switch (pin #8) to the LCM itself (pin #45) that needs to be wired in to trigger the LCM to light the rear fog(s).

Just saw you were doing this. Everything Overboost says is right.

Roger that!

I'm waiting for my switch, connectors and bulb holders to arrive.

Already have the LED bulbs.

Just have to figure out how to pull the LCM panel without damage.

Got my connector bits from Pelican the other day so I started the tailgate work for the rear fogs.

I had a pair of 26 watt 1156 bulbs (yeah I know spec is 21 watts) but after a few minutes of testing the outer lenses were getting warm so I resorted to my trusty LED specimens and similar brightness but sooooo much cooler and so much lower amp draw.

Here's my path for the tailgate wiring with my trusty coat hangar fishing tool





Awaiting my Euro switch from Latvia and then the cross cabin wiring to the LCM.

Done!



Thanks for the guidance folks!

Mike
