Anybody know where I can find RAP (Retained Accessory Power) or the heated seat wire near the driver door, kick panel or door sill?
Color would be great, color and location would be best.
Need to run a wire to the driver seat.

 

RAP is primarily controlled by the door switches.

 

Thenks, I do know how the system works. I am looking for a power wire controlled by the RAP circuit in the location mentioned above.

 

I don't understand what the wire is intended for? You will lose the RAP after a door opens, and a voltage drop will also control the RAP.
Btw, power seat motors have continuous power.

 

Once again. I know how RAP works. That's exactly why I am looking for what I am looking for. If you don't have the answer, it's ok hummrz. You dont have to know all.

As stated I am looking for a powered circuit that is controlled by RAP in the location mentioned above.
It's intended use is inconsequential to the question.

 

This vehicle is equipped with a "Multiplex Ignition/Anti-theft system". The Rap has gray, and tan, wires back to the OG wire then to the white wire.
You can easily find your wire with

 

Come on guys........don’t stop now. It’s not often we get to see two in the glue trap at one time!

 

 

Let me help with that

 

FYI, Retained accessory power (RAP) is a power mode that permits the operation of some accessories for up to 10 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF. The RAP power mode is enabled by the body control module (BCM).

The BCM:

- Controls certain body functions.
- Sends out a class 2 message via the serial data link, which enables/disables other modules at the beginning/end of the RAP power mode.
Some BCM features, such as the interior courtesy lamps will function after the 10 minute RAP time limit has elapsed. This is normal, and does not mean the RAP power mode is malfunctioning. The BCM enables the following functions in the RAP Power Mode:

- The windshield wipers and washer through the RAP/adaptive cruise control (ACC) relay.
- The right and left power windows through the RAP/ACC relay.
- Any class 2 module that functions in RAP power mode and is not connected to the RAP/ACC relay, is controlled by the BCM via class 2 power mode messages. EXAMPLE: The radio works in RAP power mode because the BCM sends it a class 2 message telling it that the power mode is RAP.

RAP is disabled when:
- A door is opened.
- Low battery voltage is detected by the BCM.
- The ignition switch transitions from OFF to ON or ACC.
- 10 minutes have elapsed after the ignition was turned OFF.

The BCM monitors the ignition switch position, battery voltage and passenger compartment door status to determine whether RAP power mode should be enabled. If the ignition switch transitions from ON to OFF, the battery voltage is within the acceptable range, and the passenger compartment doors are closed, the BCM enables RAP power mode. After 10 minutes have elapsed, the BCM sends a class 2 message to the serial data network. This message commands the other modules that are power moded by the BCM to stop functioning.

RAP/ACC Relay
The BCM controls the RAP/ACC relay coil circuit using low side drive. The output of the relay is used to supply battery voltage to the windshield wipers and power windows. The RAP/ACC relay also provides voltage to the windshield wipers and power windows when the Accessory and Run power modes are selected.
