SCCM wiring diagram
Shifter wiring diagram

Thank You

I went ahead and ordered a wiring diagram manual.... (Admin, you can delete my post).

Thank You

If you’re adding paddle shifters how about a follow up ?

That's the plan, It looks like the ranger wheel has the mounts for the paddle switches. So hopefully it's straight forward. The F150 crowd run the UP/DOWN/SIG wires to the SCCM connector. I bought a Explorer wheel for the switches, and harness. The airbag is slightly different, and it lools like the wheel could be a complete swap (with airbag), buttons/wiring looks to be the same. I don't want to change the look if you know what I mean, so would rather mount the switches and cut the back plastic of the wheel for the buttons.

It's looking pretty promising...
The ranger has the UP/DN/SNS GND wiring at a connector at the center console.

And it there is unused pins at the clockspring (steering wheel). Just need to be sure they go through. The shifters need just 3 wires, UP, DOWN and SIGRTN (SNS GND)

Well the easiest way to simply test if its possible is just buy two momentary switches and wire them up as test paddle shifters. Don't worry about the steering wheel unless confirmed the buttons work.

That is the hard part. Something works then integrating it so it looks decent and not bubba'd up.

Good point. You already have the +/- buttons on the side of the shifter. It looks like that is where it wires to.

In the Explorer the paddles go to the same up/down/sigtrn in the Powertrain control module and we have them going to the +/- buttons in the Ranger.

I'll give you even more juice for the squeeze. If it works you don't even need to integrate the steering wheel clockspring at all.

Just fabricate a paddle system that connects to the column behind the wheel and simply run the wires normal.

Yeah I know that is how some of the supercars are, but I have a factory Explorer wheel and I wanted it to keep with a OEM look.

The clock spring appears to have 4 'not used' connections. Hopefully that is true (I just need 3 of them).

Sub'd.... I've been wanting to do this since day 1.

I hope it works....


Paddle shifters should have been a factory option.

This connector is located at the back of the shifter. It's just under the front of the cup holder. I haven't found a good way to access it. You can see it when you remove the top trim shifter piece. (Anyone know if the cup holder is removable?)

It looks like this

Which contains what we need:
Connector C3531
Pin 4 SNS GND
Pin 5 SHIFT UP (SST)
Pin 6 SHIFT DOWN (SST)

Also interesting note you can see the yellow black wiring in this example which is what goes to the PRDS illumination LED (Pics are from a 2019 model)

Do you need to route wires out of the console, vs inside the trim / framework leading up to the steering console?
Or, are you asking just for prototyping reasons?
If bringing them out for prototyping, i've run cables from the center console down and out from underneath the wide and tall vertical plastic trim on each side of the center console; this is the plastic that ends at the carpet. It's flexible enough to allow small cables through. Perhaps that could also work for you?

I believe they will run right out the front of the console, if I could get to this connector (without removing the entire center console). Like I said you can see the connector, but cup holders sit over the top of it.

Hmmm, i don't follow...? Are you trying to disconnect/reconnect several times without removing the trim?
If so, why? Why not run a cable from the connector out anywhere, and then connect/reconnect to that as needed?

Or, what's the background for what you're looking to do?

Yes I should have grabbed a picture. That connect is where I need to tap for the paddles. But that connect can be seen, but cannot access it. The cup holders literally sit ontop of it. So it looks like the console may have to be moved to access it. Argh
