  1. FORSCAN for the ignorant/Lazy....

    Another hairbrained idea I had while we were discussing this that would still be worth exploring. You could use pin 7 of C2280F to trigger a wireless relay that would power lights wherever you want it. 3.7-12V Wireless Remote Control Switch Mini Small PCB 433mhz RF Transmitter,3V -12V Battery...
  2. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    That's great. What could you mount the switch to? Did you just cut out the 12 volt cover? Also, how/where did you externalize the wire to get to the bed?
  3. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    So you wired to pin 7? And it turns on and off with the cargo switch? Did you install a cargo switch in the back?
  4. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    Well maybe I wasn't being clear with the relay idea. Since the remote control would be triggered by pin 7, it actually would come on when the cargo button is pressed.
  5. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    Another hairbrained idea I just had... You could use the 12V assessory connectors built into the bed to power a wireless relay that would turn on your bed lights. Then, you could wire the remote to either Pin 7 under your fuse box, or shrink wrap the remote and power it from the cargo light...
  6. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    Well, it looks like you have found it, then. Hard to argue with a multimeter, lol. I still think it would be easier to drop down from the cargo light. It is removed from the back of the light, in the bed. Lasfit shows the wiring behind it: You would then just drop down the chasis of the...
  7. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    That is a great find! But do you mean pin 72? That's what it looks like on the diagram that you posted. Would it be easier to tap into the cargo light itself and bring power down through a gasket into the bed?
  8. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    No, just the light on top of the truck facing down into the bed. Cargo light. I was frankly surprised that pin 6 was populated at all. In the hybrid versions that I checked out, it wasn't.
  9. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    It sure would be nice if the OP was around. Could make some useful changes to the original post.
  10. Anyone tapped factory bed light to power aftermarket under-rail LEDs?

    Good luck. Sounds frustrating!
  11. California XLT Grille Riverside FREE

    It is. But I don't really want to ship it.
  12. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    It certainly works with key power. That's what many of us have done.
  13. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    My only concern with grabbing the power from the IPMA, is that the radar is exposed to the elements. Down the road, if some water were to intrude in the connection, you could short out your IPMA module. That would be nice if the factory fuse could be added to the box in the hood. I remember...
  14. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    The original post really is quite comprehensive. The only thing that has changed is the settings are on page 17 and some people are now tapping the IPMA for power and ground.
  15. Start-up in Eco Mode, any help appreciated

    Longer settings certainly are helpful for the standard display on XL and XLT. Ecoboost 6in screen: OP is set down to 0.1, the CL is still 0.4 and the LOP is 5 Final settings for ECO Mode on Ecoboost 4 inch screen are OP 1.0 - CL 0.6- LOP 6
  16. DIY HOW TO: Install adaptive cruise control in Maverick Hybrid XLT with Luxury package

    With a Dremel and some ingenuity you can do just about anything.
  17. Can you default hybrid start up to Eco mode

    Says the guy with the gas model lol.
  18. Start-up in Eco Mode, any help appreciated

    You built Mabcim's module, or are you using MyMavMode? Are you positive you are tapped into fuse six, with the tap in the correct configuration? An EcoBoost owner mentioned that these settings work without a problem for MyMavMode: "OP is set down to 0.1, the CL is still 0.4 and the LOP is 5...

    Yep. But getting the grill off was the hardest part of the entire install. Those clips are amazingly strong
