Thanks for confirming that!
Never even considered that as to why Non-Raptors have had issues with lights!
Have seen plenty of them around and never noticed, as well!
Leave it to Ford to make extra parts for the same thing and not just delete the sonar!
Just saw a study of why China cars are so...
" I was a little surprised to see that my XLT only uses the top half of the C. "
Oh, that is interesting as nobody has mentioned that!
You are saying even the normal truck lights do not light the bottom C?
That would explain a lot!
Maybe I should have mention and expect the models are the same.
The taillight removal is pretty much a dead end as they are all sealed together with the bundle/pigtail of all tiny black wires going to under the bed.
What I was referring about the idea of seeing if the brown wire (running lights)...
A note about the manual maybe you already do it this way ( it does get easier after a few times) .
Anyway, the directions/manual is on the center screen, once you find the directions you can click on bookmark. Next time you bring up the manual the bookmark will be on the first page!
Just thinking of something!
Wonder from the trucks/trailer 4 pin if you back feed voltage to the taillight pin the lights would work?
If they do, it should be easy to find that wire and re-route the curt harness wire to that wire!
This has progressed as sure you have gone through all the posts.
As it progressed some ideas or things of what we did and or did not know came to light.
What we still don't fully understand is why the drawings for the Raptor and non-Raptors seem the same, most non-raptors have the same as you...
Exactly the same setup with the Pro-cal as well. Like you was getting 16~19 all around and of course the 19 was mostly HWY. Top out about 20 on long hwy miles but not hold that all day.
After the tune I think HWy was doing slightly better but think that had to do with staying out of the highest...
We use a Patriot system and found the brakes are sensitive. We started out about 7 of 10. Way over braking and would stop the 30,000lbs Pusher on it's own, easy.
We have now dropped that down to 3 of 10 and you can still feel a strong drag and will hold you stopped if you release the RV brakes...
After asking some Friends over at Dearborn Truck plant as noted.
Sync 5 for some time or incorrectly was just considered the next generation.
When in fact it is a complete change to Ford Digital Experience.
Some models have already had it for some time along with some Lincolns.
One of the things...
I did post in several places the the information around is very convoluted with many contracting information online!
So no such thing? lots of conflicting information, for sure!
Did think about deleting the stuff that is almost certainly wrong, but to keep the later post even more confusion...
This seems to be more accurate as of function, note it does note the horizonal/vertical as many have said but with other changes as well.

Yes, would say that is quit fair to say.
Even asking AI the answer changes depending on how you ask the question. That is pulling from many sources and it can't even figure it out in a clear manor.
What is clear is the Rangers have the latest version that supports many things that are not on...
Yes, I would agree.
Although I copied that from a pretty good source, it is questionable on some aspects.
Now that I look more, the info is all over the place!
Even the conflicting info says 4 does not support advanced features such as 360 cameras and other ADS functions the ranger does have...
Update: I will leave this here as not to confuse the later post.
After more digging it seems to be wrong on many parts of it!
Strange so much detail would be written and completely wrong???
From everything I can find on Ford it seems the Rangers do have the 4a and it is the more advanced...
This is well covered in other post. And yes you can use the taillights without a single wire damaged: plug and play!
Here are the taillights, the next is the brake tight with the top C active.
You can find lots more on this subject at this thread!

HI, No bills killed the sensors and gave dash light warnings when connected.
Odd, but in your case I would install the diodes first.
Once that is done the power going back to the ranger is a one-way street.
It sounds as if the back feed or current issues is playing havoc on your Ram.
First...
Great the Curt harness I talked about earlier.
Seems yours worked as did mine. Several other people have had issues. Looking back at this thread you probably see we found factory issues with some of the Curt harnesses made wrong.
People have been really frustrated with it not knowing why.
Others...
