  1. Diode Dynamics Fog Lights Installed

    Very much appreciated your clear answer as I also know that resistors can get very hot.. I googled before asking your advise and it went down a rabbit hole of Arduino and GPIO. I know what those words mean but not much beyond that. Your diagram is here on this thread. Now I know what to look...
  2. Diode Dynamics Fog Lights Installed

    I plan on doing very similar to this and following your wiring diagram. Please advise why you felt the need to add resistors to the switch LEDs.
  3. A FAILED experiment trying to wire up an LED tailgate light bar. Fresh impressions.

    One of the connections came loose electrically eventually despite passing a good pull test. I ended up redoing each connection with folding the wire on itself, crimping, then soldering. For the right light, I just soldered up the wire to make a pin, inserted that to the harness, and then...
  4. Torque Pro Android Auto plug-in released!

    I started with my previous phone. Android 8 did not work. It sort of looks like AA was not integrated with Android 8 so AA was perhaps not installed and no longer available for install from the store. The sweet spot seems to be AA 13. Where it starts working between 8 and 13, I do not know.
  5. Torque Pro Android Auto plug-in released!

    I believe this now. Issues - Android Auto 14 and Cannot cast to head unit. Audio Module on truck consistently grays out getting APPS transferred if USB is connected despite USB and BT are enabled. Torque Pro does NOT register AA Torque Plugin as a plugin within. Just defaults. Within AA on the...
  6. ULTIMATE FORSCAN Ford Maverick Spreadsheet (MASTERLIST) 🗒️

    Not an expert. Still very new to this. But so far I would say the answer is NO. But its shortcoming of ForScan, not the spreadsheet. I have a 2024 Hybrid with 4.2" screen. I make note of two data points. 1) P 117 of owners manual shows that the 6.5" Instrument Cluster has a new mention option...
  7. IPC Instrument Panel Cluster Mystery 4.2 or 6.5

    Mystery solved. Q? Why does misconfiguring the back seats from Monitor to Minder make the warnings on the front seats less obnoxious? A! the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe. Q? What is the difference between a Monitor and a Minder? Jabber Wocky. In the end I also added the Seatbelt...
  8. Documentation about ForScan that I created.

    So much nicer with a tablet and bluetooth keyboard. Found a refurbished Surface 3 (not Pro) Win 10 Pro, Atom 7 processor 4GB of RAM on Amazon for about $100. Already had the bluetooth keyboard. The tablet has a 4 position kick stand so that you can put the full-sized USB port on the left near...
  9. Documentation about ForScan that I created.

    Revised but still a work in progress. https://docs.google.com/document/d/17ce3SGyO67xb1MB6o4PhQN0fy8t8zCwu1_-ufQuxuTA/edit?usp=sharing
  10. A FAILED experiment trying to wire up an LED tailgate light bar. Fresh impressions.

    I confess to creating this abomination and make it public as a warning to others. I knew better. I hesitated at the time but went forward anyway. In the end, I inline twisted the harness wires back together; wrapped that with some 18g stranded pig tail; soldered it back together and...
  11. A FAILED experiment trying to wire up an LED tailgate light bar. Fresh impressions.

    progress? I disconnected everything and put it back on the bench. Best I can tell, the spade disconnect on the LED light bar Left turn signal was making good physical contact around the insulation but no electrical contact on the thin wire. I had continuity through the M/F connectors but not...
  12. A FAILED experiment trying to wire up an LED tailgate light bar. Fresh impressions.

    Desired Outcome: LED turn signal lights and reverse White. No Running lights as I want that contrast where flash bright competes with NOTHING. No Brake Lights as I want that contrast that the OEM taillights do NOT provide. No warnings or change of driving mode indicating a trailer was...
  13. IPC Instrument Panel Cluster Mystery 4.2 or 6.5

    More weirdness or unexpected results. Changing Seatbelt Warn Market has at least one side effect beyond just delaying the chime warning. The Options are USA v EUROPE. Typically USA will display Instant MPG. Unexpectedly EUROPE will also replace the Trip 1 gauges to Distance to Empty but you...
  14. FINALLY, FORScan coding to disable the Seatbelt Information Screen! (CONFIRMED WORKING)

    Based on my testing so far. And I like the Eutope setting vs USA. The Europe Warning Market delays warnings until about 12 MPH when the doors auto lock. Less than that, no thing happens. No Chimes, No Popups RED or GREEN. As best I recall, if you exceed 12 MPH and get a RED popup, the GREEN...
  15. Help: How do I install LED strip lights with marine panel?

    I will try. This is probably a pretty good first learning experience and you have to start somewhere. The important part is NOT the face of the marine switch but the backside. I installed a similar one. I apologize in advance but I have mine loomed up so tight that I cannot perfectly see what...
  16. IPC Instrument Panel Cluster Mystery 4.2 or 6.5

    Understood. I have made a few relevant changes already, including setting the Seatbelt Warning Market to Europe. That did a good chunk of what I was trying to accomplish. The point of this thread is that Forscan has nothing to say about the two IPC sizes, Livinitup, has nothing and your...
  17. IPC Instrument Panel Cluster Mystery 4.2 or 6.5

    Only works on larger 6.5 screen. 6.5 is distinct in that the dials look like they might overlap with the center screen. Video I saw was a bit hard to follow as it was on repeat with no defined start/stop. From memory he was looking at the cluster instrument and hit the MENU button and found...
  18. ULTIMATE FORSCAN Ford Maverick Spreadsheet (MASTERLIST) 🗒️

    I did read your post but I didn't fully understand it. But now I do. It also matches with @EONR24 posted for Alternative #1 so I feel much more confident that I can do this and validate what the expected outcome should be. I appreciate the help.
  19. IPC Instrument Panel Cluster Mystery 4.2 or 6.5

    My GOAL is to hide that stupid Seatbelt warning screen on the 4.2" instrument cluster. I will not likely achieve that goal any time soon. I am already annoyed and have saved screenshots that the IPC screen remains but the idiot light and chimes have gone away. I have NOT manipulated any values...
