Installed the Ford approved Redarc / Lumen TBC in my truck the other day. Some of the clips were a royal pain in the butt. The kit itself is very nice. The instructions could have provided a little more explanations in my opinion. Ford, I might have paid extra for a little longer wiring to...
I have been using AsBuiltExplorer and AsbuiltTool / FordAsBuiltTool to compare the files. Is there a better program to be using?
Not gotten the chance to compare what my two tools are showing as to what Forscan is showing. Would be nice if these programs were more searchable.
Thanks @WhiteLightning19, the second set of VIN numbers have data in them. The first set did not for me and I wondered if it was a bad connection between myself and the motorcraft site.
@t4thfavor, or others working on TC, have you seen this thread before? https://www.ranger5g.com/forum/threads/adding-cruise-control-using-forscan.3310/
Possibly old news to you but thought I would toss it out there in case it stirred any ideas.
He gets cruise control activated on a non...
This is great. Am really glad that you were able to activate cruise control on your vehicle. I wonder if part of this can help us figure out how to get Trail Control to work on a non-FX4. Believe it uses cruise control in some manner.
Hopefully they can help us get this sorted. I registered there and will try to help how I can. Let me know if my asbuilt and another similar FX4 to mine asbuilt will help. I have sifted through them to find the differences. Still trying to figure out what they mean.
You seem pretty active...
@RoadBoss when I was looking to order the switches through Ford Parts . com and entered my zip code it showed me the nearest dealers that had them in stock. Then you have the option of ordering it by mail or local pickup. You may be lucky and find one not far from you.
I was not able to...
Here's a thought guys... maybe instead of looking at as builts for fully loaded up optioned trucks such as Lariats, for example. It might be easier to compare more basic trim level as builts with less options that do and do not have Trail Control. That way there would be less variables to...
I got the switches installed. The Terrain Management setup was a breeze. As well as setting up the off road screen.
Can confirm the Trail Control is a bit more of a challenge. My ABS for 760-03-01 was 0005 70 as well. TC did not want to work as 0007 72 as tried by another. When trying to...
Thanks @t4thfavor for posting your asbuilt data.
I should be able to mess about with this in the afternoon and over the weekend. I did a test run with Forscan to get used to it by setting the fogs to activate when corning and some other things.
@H2Ocooled did you also try the part listed...
FYI on possible part # change for the TC switch for those with locking rear diff. I used both of these part numbers from a previous poster when ordering - (@Michael Crowe post # 18, thanks!) Thankfully the website also has a picture to verify what the part looks like.
Here is what they sent...
Do you have access to some detachable trailer lights or a friend with a trailer? Even a utility trailer or boat trailer, something besides your tester that you could hook up to. Just to check things out and verify your P3 is working correctly.
Ordered up the parts just now to make this happen. Adapter for laptop should be in by the weekend or early next week. The switch parts are only about an hour away. Debating whether to have them shipped or make a road trip. Will buy the FORScan license once the parts get here.
Looking...
Sorry to hear this happened to you. I can't help but wonder why they took the cap off in the first place. At 15k you should not be low on coolant. Not even for a top up. The plastic tank is semi see through so there is no need to remove cap to check the level.
I believe others have mentioned it appears our US Ranger manual has some cut and paste issues from other manuals. Both the US and International versions.
It would have been nice to have had a factory brake controller as an option. The only other midsize truck I know of with it from the...
