b Good question. I saw a post before I started that some one removed driver side panels to access door lock cables. I started doing the same. But it was harder to fish cable all the way back via access hole under the seat. That access hole covered with rubber flange that can be removed and...

That's correct. Exactly as you said. Slide alongside original cable until it firm seated. I used a few shrink cables to provide a firm support And bent.

No proem. Using one male connector that looked like a miniature spatel I plugged into the other main connector wire hole. It seats snug. No cable splicing or removing needed. Both cables are the thickest and on each side of the connector. It's easy job. Now knowing what I did will take me 30...

Don't have it currently. Need to look for it. It was way easier to connect to the door. Aslo, when I was under the vehicle it looked like vehicle Is built around that main cable. Door, cable that I installed works. It's been a year, no issues.

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.

Nice. Same. Did multiple apdates on it. Trying to protect.

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.

Can you post pictures? I am curious to see. Thanks in advance.

Anyone experiencend real winter?

If your battery 12v low. it will run gas portion to keep it charges. Try to shut down your A/C or other power draining devices.

I calculate based on actual gas devided by milage

All of them the same Hybrids FWD. On normal Drive its 37MPG. Same route, measures are taking over 2 month on refueling.

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
