Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act: A dealer must prove your aftermarket part directly caused the failure to deny the claim; they can't void the entire warranty for a small mod if it's unrelated.
That said if you install a lift kit on your vehicle it will void your powertrain warranty.
And using that wire connector kit/pins was a big game changer since I don't have 2 splice and cut original wires. They have lots of options in the kit that you can just plug into Mav connector securely.
Same for the back lock itself.... Find a female connector and use a heat shrink to plug and...
Sure, when you pull and disconnect connector from the door it will be 2 largest Gauge cables on the side, they are responsible for locking and unlocking door lock. It is easy to run cable from inside to outside just because of the cable need to go from under the seat to outside at next to the...
OK..... In the First 4 pictures is the location of the cable, and place/wires that I used to connect gate wiring. Last 3 pictures just how I made a connection to the actuator. Pictures in the middle just how I run my wires in conjunction with the main body wiring harness.
So my avarage on 23 in Slippery mode was 46mpg, in Eco 43mpg, now in 24 model in slippery mode 43mpg in Eco 40mpg. In 25 40mpg in Slippery and 42mpg in Eco.
Anyone experiencing fuel efficiency drop with newer vehicle? It seems that 2023 model was way more efficient in comparison to 2024. At same time all of them I drove in Slippery mode. Now I'm driving 2025 in slippery mode and it seems that I spend less time driving on electric. Maybe they...
Since 2025 XL wiring completely different from XLT, and cable harness no longer an option after testing with multimeter connectors and cables under the bed.... Running a separate double 20AWG wire is the only option for and to install power tailgate lock. I used standard Ford Ranger/Maverick...
Don't really need cable harness regardless, since there no place to connect. Bought all parts. Only actuator might work. Actuator not worth since you still have to connect other cables from the back
Nope not gonna work. Spare tire compartment got only Camera connector if you have XL. And that picture only shows 2022-2024 year Harness. New Camera harness is brown and more like TV or Antena for router connector type.
I spent half of the day under 2025 Xl and 2024 XL. Was trying to find right wire that I can connect to. Interesting finding that wire colour's remained the same for 22-25 that are responsible for tailgate power lock. They are Yellow/ purple line and Blue/ red line. Cord that I bought for XLT...
Thank you for the post.
A few question about your research. Do you think it will make sense or easier to run wires to the lock via left. passenger side? What size of the wire you used? and what path you used to get wires to the back gate aka followed some wires or just randomly fished out...
