Guys/Gals...for those who are about to tackle a new front bumper, winch bumper,or hidden winch mount install....something to consider if you have an ACC sensor module.
So, I did this in preparation for my 589Fab hidden winch mount and RC9500S winch install a few days ago.
I just want to share how I relocated my ACC sensor utilizing the original bracket.
(since I found out that the aftermarket one I ordered was on backorder).
Tested both around town and Highway. The Adaptive cruise control works as it should, with No error messages or issues.
If you find this helpful, please post your feedback. Thanks ?
Pros:
Use the original bracket and retain
the adjustability.
No issues after relocation, Adaptive cruise works as it should.
Cons:
some drilling required to factory plastic trim
and tray located behind the grille.
(see pics)
May need to add or lenghten the oem ACC wiring harness.
( the one on my Ranger was a bit short)
Need:
Disconnect negative battery cable as part of front bumper removal.
L -brackets, 2-3ā in length
trim tool, drill, Screws or bolts, lock washer, nuts
( your preference)
Optional- Add or lengthen the OEM ACC wires as needed:
