2024 Mojave X Add Bed 115v outlet

[Chapol]

Benny from AMP said that the 24s were all the same part numbers so mine should be there also. My problem is that my headlight wire goes through a small area at about 6-8" and I can't get back there without taking more parts off.

The Reddit write up didn't show the same layout as mine.

I think I've found the right tool to get behind the plastic plate.

I'll post the results after I get out of the ER tomorrow .

You have to remove speaker pod. You can’t reach it through where the light harness is.

Upgrade speakers? Got it! Wilco!

Thanks, I'll do that.

That looks exactly like mine.
Over to the left you can work above the speaker pod and trace the harness into the dash. I loosened the speaker pod and looked up in there with a flashlight and saw the tape.

It’s not too late to switch to a 12v socket back there’re instead. Just saying. Kinda wish I had done that now as I run a fridge off it and it’s not as effecient going from DC to AC and then the fridge has to convert it back to DC. That said, I don’t know what you’re planning on running soooooo………

Anyway, your picture is exactly what mine looked like. I removed the purple connector and the associated small box it plugs into. That gave slightly better visibility to the wire running thru the little slit. My connector was taped up about 3” behind that slit. I was able to get long needle nose pliers in the slit and work the tape loose and grab it.

I thought my 2022 didn't have the harness even though I have the inverter. After gathering up the courage, I started taking my dash apart. It was way back and taped to the harness. Glad I decided to dig deeper. Once you are finished you look back and say that wasn't so bad.

Still debating whether or not to attempt this. We are in full summer mode with the requisite humidity here in the Jacksonville, FL area, so It will be October or November before I feel like getting into this again. Really curious about the @bill61 technique just loosening the speaker pod. How much disassembly was involved? I have looked at that video many times, and I am still not sure I want to go there. I have a 2024 JTRX.

I did this. It looks way harder than it is.

One thing I didn't see mentioned was turning the option on with a Tazer.

You will need to turn this option on.

Thanks! I'm going to try that first. If I still can't get to it I'll pull the speaker. It's more of a quest now.

With the TAZER mini, you loose the option when you unmarry. JSCAN will make the setting permanent.
Here is a link that shows JSCAN options. Starts around 16:55.

Yes NullPointer, I was not going to pull that speaker out!
I followed the video in post 84. I’m so glad that the ‘24 doesn’t require you to take the top of the dash apart. I removed the cover by the door and then removed the 7 or so screws that were under it.
I then removed the panel under the steering wheel.
Next I just started pulling screws that held the lower part of the headlight / future bed 110V switch panel.
After I got those two separated I removed the lower panel and then I removed the screws holding the speaker in.
Then I used a flashlight to see where the headlight harness was going in behind that hole and could see about 4” or 5” in the dash there was tape around the harness. I figured that Had to be the connector harness I was searching for.
EUREKA, I found the G spot! I picked at that electrical tape for about 5 or 10 minutes with a small flathead screwdriver until it was loose at both ends. Then I used a pair of needle nose pliers to pull it out.
At that point I was able to pull the harness towards the face of the dash. When I saw that flat connector I knew I was good to go. I wanted to pull it through the same small hole as the headlight harness but I couldn’t get it up there with the tools I have so I ran it just above the speaker pod.
I reassembled everything and gathered the tools I needed to install the receptacle in the bed and its new harness.

How far back was it??

Are you saying you can get to the connector just by unplugging that purple connector and removing that black thing the connector plugs into?

I was saying that. Worked for me.
