Did your t harness look like this? It doesn't fit mine.

Interesting, no mine is was different. The OBD port stayed put and a plug behind it came out.

I got it off but tharness doesn't fit
Was yours the same size?

Mine is a 2019 but I thought they were they same size, it's been a while since I took it out. I was going to use a different ODB power cord for my dash cam and that one you needed to remove the whole piece. The one I went with just plugs in from the front.

Now that I think of it mine was the same, I don't remember it coming apart like that one. I wonder if they had to use a different one because of parts constraints?

Yeah that's what I was thinking about ford using different parts. I'll contact support and if there's no solution I'll return it.

Connectors definitely don't look right
For one thing too many pins. OBD port only has 16 pins.

Tech support just replied and said this. Which is really weird.

Only reason I think it may be like that is the dealer had put elo gps on it. I looked behind there and has other things plugged in to the back of the original obd.

It should be very obvious if the OEM connecter were tucked up there. I know it's a tight spot but shine a flashlight up there and you should be able to see it. If not the wires should be tied together (not factory) and untie them and see. Hopefully this is all it is and easy to fix.

Didn't see this as I was posting. Just unplug theirs and connect yours and you should be good to go.

Is that on the other end of the aftermarket ODB port? If so yes you should be able to disconnect it there then plug in your new harness.

Yes. Will do it tomorrow when I can see better

That was similar to the ODB power cable I was looking at for my dash cam. You unhooked the OEM one, connected it to the aftermarket one then plugged the aftermarket one back into the original spot. Having a tune and occasionally changing them I was afraid it might not work with my tunes ODB and would rather have the stock one sticking out. Hopefully this works out for you tomorrow. ?

It worked. It was tough getting the cable off. I had to get my neighbor to help. What kind of tune do you use? Might be in my future buy list.
