UPDATE: Seats are working again. Further exploring revealed a fuse for the o/d cancel switch. I checked it and it was fine. Mystery continues. Guess I am going to have to figure out how to get the switch out to check it. Either that or see if it might be covered under warranty somehow.

I haven't posted on here in quite a while mostly due to the fact that everything on my 08 Limited has been working quite well until recently. A couple of weeks ago I noticed on a drive that the o/d selector switch doesn't turn the overdrive off. Somewhere around the same time I noticed that the easy entry for the memory seats doesn't work. I have reprogrammed the settings for the seat, but no change. If I hit 2 ( for me ) after my wife has been in the car, the seat and mirror will move to the correct position. I don't think that anything is actually broken with either problem, but I do think that I just need to "re-boot the computer". I unplugged the battery for a few hours, but it still remembered everything !! Should I overnight this ? Are there any fuses that I could remove that would accomplish the same thing ? Anything else I could look at ?

Towing stability.

Sorry for taking so long to catch back up with this thread. Between moving and having my computer blow up ... It is the higher load capacity I am after. I would have to double check, but I believe the LT classification starts at tires with either 4 or 6 ply's. I have found LT's that will physically mount onto the rims, but I have serious doubts that it will clear the rear wheel well liner. There seems to be around 1" of clearance in two spots. There is a little part of me that wishes that I had 17" rims because the selection of tires goes up. The Toyo's mentioned above are most likely what I'll end up with if I can't find what I want.

Odd. I was just at their website and there is nothing indicating its an LT tire ( at least if you look at the stock tire size ).

I am starting to think that such an animal does not exist, but I am trying to find LT tires that will fit the stock 18" rims. If anyone knows of a tire that is close to the 245/60/18 that's on my Limited, please let me know. Keep in mind that I am also north of the border. Thanks.

A relay tied to a circuit that is live while running would be simple enough to do. In my case I wish there was a simple way to disable them. I don't want to use the headlights as DRL's as there are much prettier options out there that are easier on the headlight bulbs.

I was following one the other day and I am sure it would fit. I kind of like the amber turn signals. Wiring should be relatively easy. The hard part is that the 11's use a seperate bulb for turn signal. A simple 4 wire trailer wiring module should be able to take care of that. My guess is we might have to do something about the bulb out indicator ( fast flashing ).

Could you not tap into the fuse for the reverse lights ? It could save a pile of wire ( and hiding it ). I haven't looked into whether something else shares the fuse or not though ...

I haven't done this yet, but I do have a 7 pin round ( and a 4 flat ) in one connector. I do plan on wiring up the rest of the 7 pin. My first thought for the back-up lights would be to use that wire as a trigger for a relay. Then you could run a much larger wire to the battery. That should be more than enough I would think.

First, as far as the wiring goes, I ran it pretty much the way Lex did. So, I will no bore you guys again with those details. The wires from the monitor go down towards the kick panel. Remove the door seal near the hinge and you will see it is easy to get behind the plastic to hide wires. There is a good ground near the floor there and power for the monitor comes from fuse 15 ( climate control ). Here are some pics: What you will need to do to the trim panel to get it to fit. Rotary file on a drill or a Dremmel tool works great. Camera installed on trim panel. Another view mounted on trim panel. Camera and panel installed ( I know, it needs a bath ...) Monitor install. Monitor active in reverse ( Crappy pic, sorry )

Mission accomplished ! Will have pics up soon. Kinda neat to wire it up and it works the first time. The only thing I don't like is the picture seems to be overexposed in really bright sunlight. I might try to make a sun shield for the camera to see if that helps or not. Works well at night. Backup lights are more than enough light to make the camera work.

Was any special wiring required for the steering wheel controls ? ( it was on the 08 to 08 swap ). Or was it program, plug and pray ??

I will as soon as its actually installed. I have the dash monitor mounted and the video cable run all the way to where it needs to be. I am in process of figuring out how to mount the camera itself. Hopefully that won't take too long !!

I got the wiring sorted out. Camera works great. I'll be sure to document everything.
