Those look great my friend.

But don't you have to push part of it through the firewall?

I guess what I'm asking is isn't it a challenge to pull it through with all of the wrap on it? Or do you pull the terminal end through from the engine side?

Usually I would pull my bare wires and then put the wrap/cloth tape around it.

This is the one I made to add lux lighting to the bed and cargo button, adding to the c404 connector pins 5 and 6.

I agree fully, what you are charging is a bargain for the work that goes into this.

Yes what i did on mine i made a hole big enough and i used a clothes hanger to pull the pins true with tape . I think should be fine. Just takes time and patience. And nice job on the harness. I could use cloth tape too would be better and cheaper and i think easier to pull tru the firewall.

Sure, if you don't mind (and assuming the BCM interprets it properly as) your cargo area lights having the Escape's tailgate open icon.

Although I suppose transferring the button face might be easier.

Use the module from an F-150 Hybrid, It has the gas cap button but no hatch button to worry about

Thank you i am in the process of buying parts to make wire harnesses. For this

If I brought mine up to Virginia and stayed a week could you do the whole mod?

That is what I ended up installing, yes.

Do you guys prefer the insulation used by telemachus ? I think its better and easier for you guys to install let me know so i can buy the tape.

My harness is for the back area right above the muffler, so I double protected with plastic sheath and cloth tape.

It's what most of the OEM cables use.

What fuse do the fog lamps run off?

Theres no fuse. The fuse its built in to the BCM . The only fuse they come with from Ford its on the Main switch.

As long they dont install something that consumes more than 30 amps. And or 37watts like f150 fog lamps i think they should be safe. It would be a good idea just in case installing a external fuse. But i guess im going to have to add more to the cost.

Those leads that you added are connected to one of the fuses in the BCM.

You don't know which?

In the 2013 to 2019 escapes it shows up as fuse 75 (15A) or F44.

I don't see any fog lights specs on the current generation escape.

I added the pins not to the Fuses i added to bcm conector. Just in case. Middle conector pin 6 and pin7 that did not come to the mavericks

 

[Telemachus]

So there are literally are no fuses for the lights in the maverick/escape? It's just the BCM that protects against over current?
