First off it’s nice to meet everyone. I look forward to gaining knowledge/sharing experiences with other ranger owners.
This is my first post after reading through as many threads as possible to find some direction.
I want to install a TBC and attempted to have the dealer install the red arc while they were doing some warranty work on a wheel balance issue I was experiencing from the day I purchased the vehicle.
knowing the issue with the lack of 4 wires in the XL models I explained this to the dealer but they were confident my truck would have the wires, turns out they were wrong as I suspected.
Preparing for this I have already purchased the Ford 7500lb hitch (I will be installing regardless of TBC install)
i also have the C harness (my truck does not have reverse sensors) and the OEM 7 pin/4pin connector available to me locally. (Unpaid for) as well as the red arc (unpaid for)
My question for those of you with experience or knowledge of installing a TBC on Rangers who did not have the supplied wires at the kick and how to do so.
Am I able to use the ford recommended red arc with self wiring? This route would utilize the rear oem C harness and plug.
Or do I have to install an aftermarket TBC, would I be able to wire this into the rear oem c harness and plug?
I believe I read a few responses of some members wiring themselves. If so I very much appreciate any advice.
