I've been working with insurance and a body repair shop and a dealership for a good while trying to figure this out. Would really love if anyone here might have some insight or recommendations for me. Apologies for the AI-summarized timeline of events, but here's the situation: Initial...

Hey everyone, I was checking an engine code and noticed some extra wiring around the port that seems a little odd. There’s an extra pig tail connection coming off the back of the the normal OBD port and it has an aftermarket label. A small box labeled “GPS Tracker” mounted nearby. Another plug...

Hey y’all! Recently got with BLAZE OFF ROAD we came out with a garmin power switch kit. It’s available now on the website https://blazeoffroad.com/products/ford-ranger-garmin-powerswitch-kit We recommend pairing with the sdhq terminals to make the install seamless and as easy as possible. 2/10...

Hello, the other evening I was on a road trip when I first received an Airbag light on the dash followed by a "Restraints Indicator Lamp Warning" message in the FordPass app. Soon after, my climate control turned off, and no physical buttons can turn it back on. The Sync page still allows me to...

Ok, so I’m definitely not an electrician but have previously done some auto electrical work. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to wire the set up I’m wanting. I bought these lights (just prefer them over the strips) https://a.co/d/e2dqtpY and I also ordered this switch (didn’t like...

So a quick question for those more familiar with the electronics and battery maintenance (an apologies if it has been asked before) - How often is often enough to start and run my Ranger that would eliminate or greatly reduce the need for a battery minder? Typically, I am in my Ranger going...

I decided to try one of the gang switch setups for my lights. It is rated for 600 watts, 12v. I run 9 lights currently. I want to run them all at one time safely without overheating or lower output of the lights etc. I currently have 4 rigid d pro pods 30 watts each, 1 rigid d xl pro flood pod...

(Posting here as it has some Tremor-specific questions regarding the Aux switches, but can post in the Lighting subforum if more appropriate) My old man picked up a Tremor and I thought as a birthday gift I'd buy/install some bed lighting for it. He's got a rolltop tonneau cover so I assume...

I have searched the forums, but have not seen too much detail around the install of the SP9100 into the Rangers. If I missed it, please point me to the thread(s). Anyone have detailed memories of how you installed yours? What accessories did you connect and how was the process for tapping...

4 weeks ago I had a rapid flash crop up with my Driver's Side Turn Signal. Initially thought it was just a burned out bulb. But, about 10 minutes later my console died below the touch screen. All buttons, non-responsive - no heating/cooling, dash warnings about collision avoidance and airbags...

Hey has anyone seen this cubbie on the top of our dashboards removed and replaced with a switch box or panel yet or install a switch box onto it??? I went to pull it up n it looks like it just clicks in at the edges and center. Shouldn't be too hard to mount a switch box to it. Any ideas...

Just installed my SL1 low beams and they are definitely awesome! The installation was pretty much plug and play but a bit annoying to adjust the collars so the led chips were vertical facing. These things are super bright and the you can definitely see much further than the original headlights...

Whats the best way to get switched power for additional accessories? While I'm not totally opposed to cutting wires - I'd prefer to avoid it if possible.
