Cadillac LED Handles on 2015 Yukon?

[char316]

The guy who was going to install mine says that there isnt a wire for the LED to light up. Has anyone done this? Can you tell me how or point me to a video or something that will show me?

if there is no wire then you would need to run one thru the rubber boot and into the door from the interior lights which can be accessed from the drivers left floor panel junction box

I believe if you look at the Escalade mirror thread an individual on there also put Esky door handles on. I think he picked up the puddle lamp circuit already in the door?

Would this help?

Found a video of Escalade door handles being installed on a Silverado, hope this helps .

That’s me and my white Yukon. You can either swap out with Esky door harnesses or add the wire. You’ll get the signal from the puddle lamp circuit in the door harness.

Will the esky door harnesses work on a 2015 tahoe all plug in play?

Yes with the exception of one connector that goes to the led light in the rear interior door handle cavity. The Esky has a 6 pin connector (only 4 pins used) because it has an additional speaker in front of the door handle. The Tahoe/Yukon only has a 2 pin connector for the led light.

The Tahoe/Yukon connector is the black one on the left. The Esky is the gray connector on the right.

The connectors use different terminals. I had to crimp on the correct ones to fit my Yukon connector. I could easily make a pigtail to convert the Esky connector.

Does that include the harnesses for the rear doors as well ? there all plug and play except for that one connector ? would you be willing to make pigtails for all for and ill $$ you

The front door harnesses are plug and play. However, for the rear doors, a puddle lamp circuit needs to be tapped into and a wire ran to the body side of the rear door connector. If you already have mirrors with puddle lamps, the wire will be in the run along the door sill.

You can see where I added the gray/green wire to position 14 of the body side door connector for the rear door.

I’m happy to make the pigtails. I need to make sure I can source the mating connector. I’ll report back.

Good news...looks like I can source the connectors, terminals and wire. I’ll place an order and build a prototype. Stand by...

I’m definitely interested

It might be nice if you could have these as dual function. Working with puddle lights and then as night illumination while driving too.

So the supplies came in to build the pigtails that address the different X705 & X805 connector on the left & right Escalade door harness and they work great.

There were two main issues to solve.

First, the Escalade rear door harnesses both include a gray 6 pin connector that has four wires going to it vs. the black 2 pin connector on the Tahoe/Yukon that supplies the LED courtesy light in the interior door handle cavity. The other 2 wires in the esky connector would feed a tweeter located on the interior door panel.

It’s the gray connector on this esky harness.

Second, this section of the esky harness is physically too short to reach the LED connector on the Tahoe/Yukon door panel. This is due to the esky interior door panels having a different design and wiring layout.

Notice how the gray retainer doesn’t go up to the tab on the door panel. Also, the connector lands to its mate just to the top out of frame. This pic also shows my first attempt at solving the connector problem.

So I decided to make a pigtail to address both issues.

As you can see, I moved the gray retainer farther out on the harness so it would reach the tab. I made the pigtail so it loops around the panel connector. This gives enough play to ensure the gray connectors don’t prevent the door panel from sitting flush.
