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,
I'm trying to wire in Aux Driving lights with the High beams as shown in this diagram as ive done with other vehicles in the past."

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.

I have search high and low and found nothing. This is canbus triggered, so I used the XBB trigger. It does many other things and you can setup several power units to trigger for many things like brake lights, reverse, high beams, etc.

only level 2 lights have a factory high beam wire located in the passenger side footwell behind the kick panel that can be used. the other light type, 1 and 3, needs the piggy back.

all this only if you do not have the AUX switches. in which case you have the the trigger wires in the aux box (but then you won't have high beam trigger, unless you are in AU)

Unfortunately, I made this post because I purchased the pigtail and relay from Altiq, but there's no trigger in the headlight harness in a NA RR, so it doesn't work, despite Altiq claiming otherwise before I bought it.
