Alright, so dumb question... I spliced into the yellow wire with white runner and connected a ground wire. My plan being I could put quick connects on the ends of the wires and cleanly attach some floor LEDs. My LEDs don't light.
Any suggestions on how to test the wire I spliced into the yellow/white and my ground? How can I verify they work assuming my led strip is bad?

Try connecting the LED's to a different power source like a 9v/12v battery and test them that way. Thats what i did with my LED switches before i connected them

Electrical is not my friend... It lights on a 9volt battery. I switched the wires around. I took note of which was +/-. Still nothing. I put a vampire clip on the yellow wire with white stripe. I grounded to the post next to the wire cluster where all the blacks are grounded. I am debating just cutting the wire to see if it kills my dome, and to verify it is indeed the proper wire.

You do know that yellow wire only has power on when the doors are open or the dome light switch is activated, right? Not being a smartass, just wanted to double check.
