Howdy! I’m sure this has been asked 1 million times but I can’t seem to find a clear thread on clear results.

I bought a simple, aftermarket LED strip light for under the tailgate and it plugs into the four pin trailer harness for the maverick. Maverick identifies it as a trailer but lots of glitches occur.

wondering if there’s any way to disable the automatic trailer detection on the 2022 maverick? Or any simple fixes that’s not until hardwiring this thing independently to the rear tail lights?

Between these 2 videos you should be able to hardwire it to the tail light and not need the the 4 pin. Note that the DIY guy does NOT connect one of the wires correctly, however, the U-Haul video does
