RR High beam 12V to trigger relay for light bar?

[entoptics]

Installed an Altiq Supernova, and purchased their relay and harness, but unfortunately it does not work to slave the light bar to my high beams in my 2024 N. American RR. The pigtail has the 12V leads for the relay going into pins in the OEM plug that aren't even occupied.

I tried to find a 12V signal that is on/off with the high beams, but to my surprise, there's no differences in voltage output on any of the pins in the OEM harness with high beams on or off.

Here's what I measured on the OEM (Altiq pigtail shown since it's a pain to get a picture of the OEM). As mentioned, I got the same measurements with the high beams on and off...

Can anyone tell me where the high beam "signal" should be? What am I missing?

I found a post on a Maverick club forum. It might provide you some insight. Good luck.
" Hi All,

What type of lights you have?there are three works on the ranger, and each has a different way to wire high beam. Also, au is different than eu and us

Thanks for the replies.

Based on the Maverick forum post @Dre' Dawg supplied, it looks likely there is a "software" type trigger that is handled within the light?

I have the Ford Performance LED setup on a North American Ranger Raptor.

Taking her in to the dealer to have my bed liner fixed on Tuesday. I'll ask the service department if they know of a solution somewhere. I stumbled across some vague info somewhere that mentioned a 12V signal somewhere in the cabin. Maybe I can tap into that somehow.
