I went out to my Jeep and probed the connector to the passenger footwell light and it behaves exactly as @culdbbi describes. I measured 6.1V when the alarm is unlocked and the doors closed. Then it goes to 12V when a door is opened. If you turn on the courtesy lights from the dashboard switch...

I looked at them on Amazon and they do not specify how much current they draw. The black control box that power goes to should have some marking that specify how many watts it is rated for. Amps=watts/12v.

Interesting setup. This has both inputs driving the relay. That would work. My diagram didn't show the Aux input. I was assuming it would just run to the other input on the isolating diode as the OP has it currently wired. Since the diode can handle 85 amps that should work too. I would...

The diode's purpose is isolate the two power sources. If the relay gets stuck closed, then you would want it where I have it in the diagram. Besides, the diode is rated to 85 amps so it can handle the amperage

I ran across them while browsing. If I remember correctly, some people claimed it eventually clogged the washer jets.

Once the courtesy light wire input is verified and it is only 6v at key fob unlock, then here would be a diagram for incorporating a relay. Since you have the Aux switch option there is a 10 amp 12V source under the glove box. Check your owner's manual.

The Yellow/Blue wire at the dome light is for reading lamps so it is likely just a constant 12v source that will turn the light on when the user pushes the lamp on. If/when you verify the yellow/violet striped wire is the courtesy circuit that turns on and off with the courtesy light actions...

Other posts in the forum have noted problems with Rain-X windshield washer fluid. You might check those inputs first to see if there is something to that.

I was looking at an Oracle Lighting Starliner YT video and they tap into the Yellow/blue wire for power. The wiring diagram shows that wire going to the dome lamp as well as the Yellow/violet wire. Maybe that is the one to tap into? Now it might just be a constant 12V source to power the...

The Interior lighting wiring diagram shows a wht/brn wire is the CAN bus. You don't want to tap into that. I wonder how accurate these diagrams are. I think I'll go pull my dome light and make some measurements.

If you measured the 6V without any load then I question whether it is really the source for courtesy lights. Those light up when the doors are unlocked but don't get brighter once a door is open. Make sure nothing is connected to that line when you measure the voltage.

I hope you make progress. The failure hypotheses I have are: diode pack does not work, or as @sharpsicle says the sources may be the wrong ones or the positap isn't making good contact. You should verify the sources can actually produce 12V open circuit (nothing hooked up to them). Measure...

The 6V measurement is strange and could be a red herring. There is a wire that is violet wire with a yellow stripe that is the rear right door ajar sensor. Its color coding is the opposite of the courtesy lamp line. If that is tapped into and the doors are closed then that should read a...

The 6V measurement is very odd. It sounds like an unwanted voltage divider network. Anyway, here are some trouble shooting ideas: Is the blinking at a constant rate and keeps going until the door is opened? Does the blinking only blink once like the parking lights do when the key fob unlocks...

The courtesy light source is a yellow wire with a violet stripe according to the wiring diagrams I'm looking at. Here is a link to the diagrams:https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/gladiator-wiring-diagrams-shared-with-jl.34896/ I'm looking at the Interior Lighting pdf file

I understand that you are trying to have the rock lights come on when the Jeep is unlocked and the interior dome light is powered. It's a cool/safety feature. Also, you want to power them on with the Aux switch and not have the dome light come on. If I get rock lights I would do the same...

This looks like it has multiple diodes in the assembly isolating both input power sources from each other. I was thinking you were using a single diode. In short, it sounds like you wired it correctly. You measured the voltage at the output of the diode and read 6V until the door was...

It's sounds like you wired both 12V sources (courtesy and aux) to the input side of the diode. Did I understand that correctly? Only one source should be wired to the input side (courtesy). The Aux input should be on the output side of the diode. Also, where are you measuring the voltage when...

I'm liking those color choices. Black contrasting on the Earl and then the grey seats lighten up the interior. Looks great!

There's nothing within 250 miles of La La land either. You'd think Californians would go for the vibrant colors. You're going to have more luck finding her a diamond necklace. Maybe that's your way out of the doghouse...
