LED Light Bar

[DanielP]

Has anyone purchased and installed a LED lightbar for a 2024 XLT/Lariat with BSI (Blind Spot Detection System)? I just purchased one and after installation I found that when having the head light selector switch on Auto, the left rear tail light would be off. The only way this tail light would work is to switch the light switch selector to manual. Unfortunately when doing so the high beams would no longer come on automatically. Any input and indication which LED lightbar would not interfere with the standard operation of the various lights would be greatly appreciated. By they way, never use the trailer hitch connection point for any aftermarket electronic devices! It will cause other issues and to be clear, I did not use that connector for the light bar.

not sure what to tell you, sounds like a wiring issue. I know there's been numerous threads on light bar issues, some its wiring, some its the light bar itself. I would say providing more detailed info on the products you used, light bar, wiring harness, etc. I've seen lots of positive comments on the Curt wiring harness

Did you tap into the left tail light wire to run the light bar? Might be overloading it.

See this thread as to how I did it. The key for me was the Curt unit.

Yep the quality Curt unit and a quality light bar! That is the key.

The issue was related to the Blind Spot Warning I have on my Maverick. The wiring harness was not compatible with this additional feature.
