@TractorFixer @Hootbro @chino101 @RangerDangerStranger -
Just to confirm, you all have a Ranger with a BASIC Tow Package, correct?
Hey Y'all,
I been double checking my install to make sure I followed every step you have all suggested. I'm confident my install is correct.
If you're been...
The red wire from the controller goes through the harness and connects to the port under the dashboard. If I'm reading the diagrams in post #79 correctly, the red wire should be connected to #12, the brake on/off (BOO) connection. Yes, the engine was running also. The fact that the Redarc...
Ohh!!! Good catch sir! I just double checked and everything checks out.
BRAKE PRESSED = 3 LIGHTS on the Curt tester:
12-Volt (Constant)
Left Tail Light (Constant when braking, flash with turn signal)
Right Tail Light (Constant when braking, flash with turn signal)
TBC OUTPUT on the Curt...
Yes, the truck did recognize a trailer after connecting the tester. I thought that was pretty cool, at first. However, that's a whole other issue (possibly a new thread?) that I was going to post.
Seems if you set up the trailer profile with weight, length, height and so forth, the truck...
You're a rockstar! Thanks for the quick response. Of course I went right to truck to try the steps in the video. LOL
Unfortunately, I didn't have luck switching the Redarc to "User Controlled" mode as suggested in the video. The video is specific to the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite model. I have...
OK, I have an update regarding my TBC install on a 2024 Ranger XLT without a tow package. I feel like I'm 90% of the way there. Spoiler alert: I'm still unsure if the install was success. This might be due to my own ignorance. Let me try to explain. Sorry, this is long post too...

Oh right! I do recall your testing was very thorough and I remember the bush comment now that you mention it! LOL. And I think I'm going to start adding a disclaimer to my posts as well. Not a bad idea. All this stuff is dangerous and I'm certainly NOT a mechanic or electrician. :thumbsup:
Yes, thanks for sharing that link. I saw this option and considered it but I really don't want to rely on an app or Bluetooth connections, especially for the manual override feature. I know they have the wireless override button "add-on" but I much prefer the hardwire option.
Hey Jason,
I had a shop do the receiver install and harness wiring. To be honest, I'm not sure what they did but after the work was complete but I now have a 7- and 4-pin connector at the back of the truck. Hopefully its connected to something and not just for show! LOL I'll report back...
Hi All!
I'm new to the forum and this my first post! :like: I might be a little early posting this but I'm eager to share my experience of installing a receiver and brake controller on a 2024 Ranger XLT without the tow package. This thread has been a huge asset in the process so thank you...
