Indeed! That location makes it look factory and more technically advanced than the squeeze paddles. I cursed through the entire install, but after I was finished I looked it over and thought "Yeah, it was worth it!"
Interesting take, I think you are correct but we will probably never know. Ford is also very touchy around the fuse block having lost millions on a recall of them years ago. One has to wonder why they didn't just integrate the RedArc system along with the trailer package. They may have thought...
Yep. It has been fascinating to me how Ford still has yet to include this controller as an option (my Ranger is a '19). After being one of the 'early adopters' and having installed the thing myself, I am not surprised that dealers shy away from the install. ...and after all this, the TBC is just...
First just let me say thank you for answering my original post after the flurry of idiotic comments that preceded it. As a vet and a pilot, I'll also be thinking of that design concept when I get in and out of my truck because after seeing your install I am decided.
The only real issue with...
Go read the thread (@DirkM started it) on the adapter plate, you can buy the plate from him and the thread has the links to the wireless CP dongle and the charger.
You plug the dongle in and pair it to your phone and it makes it look like the phone is plugged into the Ranger. Whenever you...
LOL. I finally did the Raptor grille upgrade along with demon lights (see post above with video) and thought that maybe a 67 YO should 1) not be driving a truck like this and 2) not installing a vanity mod. To add insult to injury, the two Youtube vids that I used to do it both featured 20...
A very hot wire can produce a yellow glow. Where exactly are you seeing this?
If immediately behind the CHMSL and 'through' the headliner, it is probably a light bleed from the CHMSL lamps. Could be normal, but if unique to you then the dealer screwed something up during the install.
I can't remember what I paid for the kit (I did mail order), but if I could have had it installed for $100 I would have done it--it was a colossal PITA. That said, in retrospect it was quite character building and I learned a lot about the whole system. Also, my control button is mounted in the...
