No, the ford bedlight kit wires into the battery directly.

Dust cover...
oops forgot to add the option back to the listings.
It’s in the “size” option on the kits. There’s normal and molle panel options. Only for the advanced and split harnes
Just go done doing this install. Yes I off-road, as you can see from the various oops marks, and I’m pretty confident these lights will be fine for a while. Why did I do it? So I can have dimmable area lighting for camping and working on the truck, or airing down/up tires at night, etc. next is...
I was going to try that, and may still in the future, but my only two issues were: If the wires are laying on the frame bottom, that's a a chance for water too pool/not drain/sit there causing eventual damage (long long term mostly, but just my thoughts on it) and there are some routes i found...
if you were like me, and wanted to run some wiring along the frame, but can't find the correct "firr tree push mounts" for the holes (5/16, ~10mm) because they all are for 1/4 inch holes (at least when you search on amazon, etc). I've found the solution!
Panduit has a good selection, and you...
From what I've found.... That's really the only entry point big enough for anything to get in. And in that case, it's basically open behind the wheel liner, into that cowling area. There's the vents in the rear behind the seats, but I don't see anything easily getting in there. The cabin is...
For me, those are things I've already checked. I had a seat issue where the seatbelt sensor wasn't working and a re-seat of the connector fixed it. There were reports on these trucks of smashed/bent pins in connectors. So it's something I keep an eye out for. I can be really hard to know what...
Yeah, copied over the data that i backed up from the old GWM (I think it's just the VIN in this case).
1,2- Resetting connectors has fixed some things in the past, so doing that on this round with everything. Also checking for bent/damaged pins.
4- yeah, did the relocation to the upper part of...
I've been fighting what is either a wiring issue or a module (BCM) issue for ~20k miles. Random (mostly) resets of traction control, Oil Life, ACC (as a note I DID relocate the radar sensor but that didn't coincide with the other issues), Traffic Alert (the things that alerts if a car is next to...
There’s a “size” option the the kits with Molle panel as an option. Plus you can get a replacement plate in that size too (it’s an option for that listing as well).
It will be a couple of weeks for the full kit to be in stock. I've got more parts on order, but it's taking a while. You can sign up for a notification on the product page.
I had to re-tighten after the initial install as the clamps came a bit loose. But it's been on for most of the life of the truck, and no issues so far. nice and secure.
Just got the panel set in the mail today. Finally able to do a test fit on the actual thing and it fits great! I'll be installing them next week (I need to do an updated video anyway).
