There's a known issue that if someone tries putting one of the side seatbelts into the center seat seatbelt receiver the truck will give warnings until the truck is restarted. (The belt won't clip in, but it's enough to trip the sensor). Suspect this is the cause of your first issue. When I had...

Sorry, got to this too slow. I have the HF650M and went through the same process, but I didn't have much trouble because I did a bunch of research before buying from all the different brands and recognized the different install strategies. The BakFlip MX4 rails are identical short needing to...

Yeah, removing the 4dtech module did nothing to my battery drain issue. A full week of driving 25+ miles a day and ASS never once triggered, always due to "vehicle charging". Think I'm still going to leave it out until I take it in so Ford can't try to tell me that's the cause. Probably not...

Just pulled it. We'll see what happens! I'll note the lights weren't on on the 4DTech module when the truck was off, and they came on when I started the truck, so it seems like the module does power down. Seems unlikely that it'd be causing a power drain in that case, but we'll see... I do know...

Yeah, it's still possible I have a defective battery too... But we'll see what troubleshooting says. A defective battery on the '24s was apparently not an uncommon thing. I heard some people say they were recalled, but I don't think it was a publicly announced one if so. The dealer I took it to...

Something is in mine, I haven't identified what's causing it yet though. The only electrical accessories I have are the 4Dtech module, and the perimeter plus alarm, so one of those is likely the cause. I'm going to go unplug my 4Dtech right now and will report back next week if it's resolved my...

I did notice my battery level drops very quickly... Maybe you're onto something about the 4Dtech module. Leaving the truck stationary over the weekend leads to auto start/stop not working on Monday, and it takes the whole week of my commute (~25 miles a day) before it starts working again on...

Awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this. I think my next goal is going to be to figure out what those connectors are so that I don't have to cut them off. I know they'll never be compatible with my harness... but I just hate snipping them and killing the possibility of better integrating them...

Yeah, that is exactly where the one I had was "torn" as well. I drilled the root of the cracks because when I stood on the step you could see the root of the crack move. This means if the step is flapping from road vibrations (which is always going to be the case, on a micro scale) that crack is...

I think I at least figured out where the connector for the lighting is supposed to go, so solved that problem without needing to tear anything out at least. No more rattles! And looks like I can get to it later without needing to pull the dash again if I do decide to wire it up.

Cool! Sounds like I'll give it a little longer, though maybe I'll just duct tape down the connector at least. I can confirm if you leave it loose it rattles like crazy! The passenger side hasn't had that problem since it's clipped in, but the driver's side is loose. (It has a clip on it to mount...

Have it on my '24 XLT (assembled in May) too. Probably all 6th gens at that rate. Think the airbags are universal across both years/trims.

I took the truck in to Ford today for them to check the battery, but had to back out after they wanted to keep the truck the whole day for it... (The gal on the phone I made the appointment with said it'd be a 30-60 minute job tops... :sigh: ) The rep tried to tell me it was normal for auto...

Did you ever get any more info from your electrician? If not even some generic info might help. Are the lights integrated into the truck (e.g. come on when you open the door, or through zone lighting?) or are they on an external/separate switch? I left my LEDs in when I installed the glove box...

Does anyone know if there's a way to check the battery voltage from the Gauge cluster on a '24 XLT? I've been having off and on auto start-stop issues here too and am trying to diagnose. It'll not work for 5 days straight due to "vehicle charging", but then after a longer highway trip it'll...

Got my bumper plugs yesterday and installed them today! Much better than the drilled holes. Had to open the holes up to 9/32" for the plugs to fit, but I can still go back to the factory mount if I have to with a set of plate inserts. Magnetic Metallic (J7) was a perfect match! Was even able to...

Thanks for the idea @TMP Montana! I went ahead and did this on my rig as I couldn't stand the OEM front mount blocking a good portion of the front camera. This was a huge improvement (see pics below, and note that this was without even having a plate/frame on in the before pics... I still opted...

Yeah, mine was this way too, but it meant that the top bolt pattern was about 1/8th inch off too. I ground the one hole a little wider, but it still fought me. In the end I was limited by where they put the bend in the piece holding the round stud. I'm not super worried about the cracks...

To be fair, the factory trim pieces I took off were already fading, and those have only been on there 14 months. They did feel noticeably heavier than these too though... We'll see how they hold up.
