Hey all,

I'm looking to add some LED strips to the footwells in my 2015 Rogue SV and can't figure out where to tap the wires to have them function with the doors. I bought a kit from BT Designs before for my Altima and it was a piece of cake to install but knowing where to tap was the hardest part. Anyone have any installed on their Rogue and know which wires to tap? I'd prefer not to tap from the map/door switch as I don't want to run wiring from the roof to the footwells. I've been reading around and the BCM seems to be a plausible place to tap but I can't make heads or tails of the wiring diagrams on the FSM. I've tried doing a search and some topics started before for the first gen Rogues but no clear answer there either. Sorry in advance if this was already answered. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, This should help you out.

Follow the pinout on page 16. You have your choice on how you want the lights to come on.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the reply outtolearn88!
If I'm reading the pinout correctly, white (IGN) would be constant +12v? which I would connect the positive wire of my lights to.
The negative wire of my lights I would connect to either yellow (rm lmp) or pink (batsvr)?
I'm not too sure which does what. I'm assuming yellow would be the one that controls all lamps when the doors are open? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks again for all the help!

No, The #12 is negative Ground. 1-11 are all positive taps (+). They each have a different functions. You can choose when you want your lights to come on.

I went with the #11 ACC. (Orange) so when accessories are on, the lights go on.

Hello I just installed the foot well lighting kit from Nissan last week and it only too 60 minutes and was vey easy to do. I just bought 2 of the accessory harness connectors from Nissan and followed the instructions the parts dept gave me. The install looks just like it was factory done and mine come on with the door opening. Ken

Hey everyone. Wife and I just bought a 2016 Rogue SL.

She wants footwell lights but doesn't want them on a switch. She wants them to come on when the doors open and when you turn on interior lights. I have a spare 12v led strip I can install.

Does anyone know where and what wire I can tap into to to make it work how she wants?

Thanks!!!!

Hope this helps. I did my own Footwell Lighting and Illuminated Kick Plates and looks great and just like a dealer install.)

Hey Ken. I also bought the accessory harness to install LEDs for the footwell also.

Which wire did you splice in order for the led to come on when the door opens?

That is how my wife wants it. Also wants them to come on when interior lights come on.

Thanks.

Hello Rogue516, Look at page 16 of the PDF file I listed at the start of this tread. You have the explanation of what each wire dose.

Hope your installation go's perfect. Share your final results.

Merged with existing thread.

Just to give an update. being that my wife wantes the led footwell lights to work with the interior lights I could not use the ACC wire on the accessory plug. The accessory plug kept the led strip on all the time.

I wound up pulling off the piece where the map lights, sunglasses holder is. I tapped into the plug for the light switch. It was the blue and pink wires I tapped into. Black from LED went to blue, red from LED went to pink. Ran a wire across top of windshield and down the pilar and spliced the led strip.

What a nice difference. My wife is so happy.

Wow that's bright! Does it interfere with your ability to see at night? Looks great and it's way brighter than the led's you get with the Nissan kit I installed.

Ken,

The picture does make it looks brighter then what it really is. Does make a huge difference.

The LEDs work along with the interior lights. Only comes one when doors are open and when you put the main interior light button.

I'll try to take a pic of where I tapped the wires. Forgot to do that after I snapped the piece back in. Lol

Nice job.

Ken

thx

Here is where I tapped into behind where the map lights are.

I want to install my own LEDs with the accessory connector but wasn’t able to find the answers I was looking for.

The thread helped but when I tap the wires as described but they stay on all the time.
I’ve tapped the black as ground and tried the orange wire as well as the grey with no luck.
Can anyone tell me which wires to tap so that the LEDs come on when I open the doors? Thanks!

Hate to bump this thread but can anyone help out?

If you tap the wires behind the map lights as I pictured above the lights should only come on when the doors open and when you turn on the interior lights. Pink and blue. Forgot which was the positive and negative. Will have to test before hand

Would prefer to use the accessory connectors but thanks for the info. Your link to the pic doesn’t work.

I'm pretty sure even with accessory connector there isn't a wire to work with the doors and interior lights.

Damn photobucket. Click here for pics.

That's the document I referred to when figuring out which wire to tap. It seems that the controller dictates when the lights come on/off and you can not just tap the wires directly.

I'm sorry, I guess I don't understand your question....
Can you please clarify what you mean ? What's it doing ? How did you connect de controller ?
