Well, I could use some advice. started to to add to the connector. took a minute to figure out the handle. I'm unsure how to go about taking it apart to add the pin. I can remove the handle part but i not seeing how to get the rest of the connector apart yet. its honestly a little hard to stay in there with the little slack that cable has too so I can really look at it. I'm not the thinnest person.

Pull out the red cover and install the terminal from behind of the conector and should be good.

I guess I was more meaning more of how to disassemble it. Like to press in the the two tabs on the curved end of the cover and cutting the zip tie to release it. This just wasn't obvious to me at first. The red part only popped out around 1/4" for me but allowed me to insert the connector. I've got it in there now so I just need to run a wire across to the driver side now to connect it to DD kit. I'm going to try and put a toggle switch in so I can alternate it between the two inputs still if something goes wrong down the line.

So one last thing, I was putting together all the forscan changes so that I could be added to that master list thing on another thread. This is more just curiousity but any guesses on What the DRL and Fog only modes are for the lights? Cornering is suppose to be for turning the wheel and turn only is suppose to be when the turn signal is on. As far as I can tell, DRL at least on the lariat never turns off unless I turn it off at the knob and I've got no clue what fog only actually represent.

edit: Thought I had it finished. changed all the setting, symbol on the dash working, but no fog lights. Not getting any voltage out of my wire from the bcm so im going to have to trace down that gremlin and see where the disconnect is happening.

edit 2: found the gremlin, adjusted forscan settings to #4. Everything is working fine. updated this chart for the forscan settings

@Vtec87pr1 can you describe what the #5 setting does as power supply. When I originally used it, my lights were always on unless I turned the truck off. I'm assuming it just sent enough current to trigger the DD harness on. Does the switch still control the lights using that setting?

i got to delete that they need to be on fog lamps only

Hi to the ppl that are interested on my harness i will need to know what type of fog lights your using. Im going to start sending them with open ends so you have enough to cut or splice your own conectors. Please let me know here whos interested .

I am interested in the Harness. I have the DD Kit coming, Ording the F150 Switch today, 2024\ Lariat Hybrid

If I get your harness do I still need to buy the WT-1003 Pins ?

Just sharing for anyone who might want to crimp their own terminals on the BCM side instead of using the Ford repair parts - I believe I found the correct pins. They are Molex MX150 part number 33012-3021. They are about $0.15 each at Mouser: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Molex/33012-3021-Loose-Piece?qs=8%2Bu/V6/T1OrugG5hu7z58A==&countryCode=US&currencyCode=USD

I need to practice/figure out my crimping. Obviously the Ford is done perfect (on top). Here's a quick comparison pic of my first practice attempt:

If using the Diode Dynamics foglights, that end is Deutsch DT connectors, and they are super easy to crimp and put together with the right tools.

Awesome find!!! Thanks!
I hate having to spend $17 for a piece of wire and connector.

I haven't fitted them in the connector yet, so not 100% certain, but they look identical to me and I plan to try it.

Good luck, looks to be right though.
