Redundant lighting wiring solution so that the Rangers do not think it has trailer behind it?

Awesome!

So just to be sure, they do understand the goal at hand is to power redundant lighting without triggering the auto trailer detection system that shuts down all the safety sensors.

There are kits out there to run redundant lighting, I am running my lights with one now, but it powers off trailer plugs wiring and taps in on the back of the bumper plug, triggering the auto trailer detection system and shutting off all my safety sensors which I have to OK to clear my info screen every time I start the truck.

I programed in a trailer profile for my head arch rack lights in order to get my Blind side monitor system back on, I programed in a 3ft long trailer to get them to work as much like normal as possible.

This solution will allow you, with a T Harness. Take power and signals from the main vehicle harness (that powers rear tail lights) to control everything to avoid any issue with the Trailer Sensing system. Don’t worry I’m with ya. You’ll have all your BLIS and full range of safety sensors with this setup.

Awesome!
‘Perfect!
‘Thank you!

I am really looking forward to having everything working again.

Working with one of the main guys over there right now. I should have something to test here hopefully in the next few weeks. I will mention that someone else would want this as well, maybe that will bump it in priority for them

Clarify, this base kit would power a low amp LED third brake light strip WITHOUT using an Upfitters switch?
I would be OK with the basic kit to operate my Go Fast Camper Topper third brake light, but I would much prefer to have a more sophisticated kit with a larger connector (rather than bare wires) that has the extra additional outputs in case I want to hook up extra rear lights on the truck bumper or on the Topper itself (which would be operated with one Upfitter switch circuit). I have been considering the Leer 300200 kit, but I am suspicious that it won’t work on the Ranger Raptor ….

Thanks for pursuing this! Following!!!
