I had that same issue a year ago. Had the Parts Manager run a search and there was one that showed up. I called and was able to get sent to my Dealer. Harness is easier to instal without the hitch and spare in the way. Did you order the FU5Z 14489 A receptacl? Makes for a clean instal that protects the plugs.FU5Z-14489-A was in stock at the dealer but wire harness KB3Z-15K86D8-D has been on back ordered. At least at the few dealers i have asked to order it for me. Been told to try back in June. So, after trying dealers ordered it through https://parts.ford.com/en.html recieved it to day.
recommend selecting a few different dealers to get the best price.
Want to get the new harness installed before adding a Curt hitch.
Dealer had one FU5Z 14489 A in stock so bought. Took me another two weeks to get the wire harness. Curt hitch has been in the garage for over a month waiting on wiring.Did you order the FU5Z 14489 A receptacl? Makes for a clean instal that protects the plugs.
I thought the xl without tow package, would be the same as xlt without tow package? Does XLT or L +tow package come with a facory trailer brake?Are you buying an XL, XLT or Lariat? If you are getting an XL without tow package you will need to be prepared for the added steps to add a trailer brake controller if you are intending to do any serious towing down the line. Some of us learned that the hard way

2 white are license plate lights, the other 4 are for the backup sensorsSo I bought the draw tite hitch from Amazon and the wiring and plug harness from Ford. My question....where do these little plugs plug in at? I saw a video on how to install the 4/7 pin wiring, but it didn’t mention these 4 little plugs. The truck on the video did not have backup sensors, so maybe has something to do with those?
I was reading somewhere a while ago that you are supposed to cut the bumper to fit with some kind of hot knife or whatever.Installed the OEM 7 Pin harness today, piece of cake. However getting the OEM 7 pin connector into the bumper seems near impossible; cannot for the life of me get it to snap into place. When I looked on the back part of the bumper it looked like it needed at least another 1/8th of an inch to engage. Now I have this ugly ass hole in the bumper. This has to be to simple to pay the stealership to put it in. Damn!
The hole is cut, the problem is that the clips won't engage.I was reading somewhere a while ago that you are supposed to cut the bumper to fit with some kind of hot knife or whatever.
Really there are a few different ways to accomplish this.The hole is cut, the problem is that the clips won't engage.
I was reading back through these posts to install the 7 pin on my 2019 Ranger. See you got your parts from Bates Ford. I worked there in sales for a year. My brother was GM then. Grew there in MJ back in 70-80’s.it has already been posted the wiring harness: KB3Z-15K868-D . You also need the connector that fits in the bumper with the spring loaded covers to protect the 4 pin or 7 pin connector.FU5Z 14489 A .
The harness plugs into the back of the connector as well as replaces the harness for the lights and sensors. By plugging the 7 pin plug into the back of the connector, you have both the 7 pin round and 4 pin flat connectors.
