Standard method is to use a Faraday cage- all that means is a fully enclosed conductive surface. like, say - a metal case! Helps if it's grounded to the vehicle, and since the +wire will act as an antenna, use a shielded power wire, with the shield grounded common with the device. Sur ethere are...
No. there's no engineered magic. It will slam everything into full hot though. I seem to remember somewhere in the menus there is a temp function on/off for remote start.
I think it's a pretty good placement, but i hate any control in a touch screen, ought to be banned, and I hate to go through menus. It's cumbersome, dangerous and stupid. But, I find the placement acceptable. I run my screen Selected Dark all the time to prevent getting a sunburn from it. The...
Glad it worked out for you, I think the basic tow package is the sweet spot in all this. Cost is good and with bronco harness being a plug-in playing it's pretty seamless. Also works with AEB. 👍
let me add a little knowledge from earlier in the thread. The basic tow package trucks have a module that feeds everything needed in the seven pin connector. There's also a connector that you can plug into a aftermarket like ared arc made for the bronco which will give you a trailer break...
The problem that was brought to light, when trying to get the maximum towing capability out of a level one tow package ie no tow package truck, was that the brake on off signal which was generated from the body control. Module was not activated on those trucks. Now you can tap a brake signal...
Yeah, but you can't foresee the future. Get them while they are available. Honestly, Ford should of ate their mistake and done a recall. As far as robustness, these are definitely at least 10x stronger then the factory solution, or more. they are box welded 1/8" steel. the limiting factor here...
was a guy in this thread who was looking at adding a TBC to his Ranger without the basic tow kit. I believe he found the connector, but the brake signal from the BCM wasn't active in it, and there was no way to practically activate it from what I remember.
IF* you have the Basic Tow Package, then there is a pre-wired and activated gray plug to the left of the brake pedal that contains Power, Ground, Brake Active Signal, and Output to the appropriate connector in your factory installed 7 pin connector out back. I verified all 4. I also tested the...
Usual Scumbag dealer actions. Dealers tells me- we got great deals- doesn't mention Employee pricing. I bring it up- Sales MANAGER, says the one Ranger he has got wrecked -lol. I mention factory order- says- they usually charge MSRP, i say Ford corporate says it applies to orders till 7-7. Has...
I know this is a bit too late for you, but to save someone else, you can make your own adapters. SMH.
