Adding Hill Descent Control to a non-FX4 4WD

[McGuyver]

Here is a photo of the button (ML3Z-13D730-KA) installed on my Lariat with the 12” screen

Thanks for posting the photo, that’s definitely the one I need. Now just waiting for backorder to be filled.

it looks like the KA switch has the rounded edge on the left and my RA switch has a flat edge. Strange but I guess both work and it didn't look out of place until now haha

It's for a Bluecruise truck with the buttons all in a unbroken line. Discussion in the thread around Nov 3rd with Kobylash's dash. I didn't notice until then, either.

I got mine last week from Levittown Ford, ordered it in mid-January and only had to wait ~2 weeks. Now I'm just waiting for some warm weather so I don't break anything pulling trim pieces.

Switch is in, now to go find a big hill. Thanks @Livnitup
Edit - quick test in a parking garage today and it works as expected.

Anyone had luck with an ordering source for the ML3Z-13D730-RA ? Tried TASCA and said on national backorder and canceled the order.

When that happened to me at TASCA I ordered at Ford and it arrived in a few days.

Did you have to do the jumper piece or just add the switch and enable in forscan. Was there an update to the Forscan instructions?

The wire was not there on mine so yes it needed the jumper added. ForScan changes detailed at the beginning of the thread worked for me. I don’t have my mod file available to tell you my exact changes but if you need them let me know and I can post in a few days.

Where did you get the 2 wires?

Here is the picture from the first page.

Where is this connector?

Check the first post of this thread for more details. I ordered these - Terminals for HDC connector C2304 - pin 4 (female) and inline connector C214 - pin 12 (female) located behind the A/C controls. The Ford part #'s for these terminals are WT1001 & WT1002. These two terminals can be spliced/soldered together and end up being a good length to reach from C2304 to C214.
and the switch from Varsity Ford Parts. “Terminals” are actually jumper wires with correct pin to fit in the connectors. Also you will see info on connector location and disassembly instructions.

I'm hoping someone bought the 5 pack and can sell and ship me one of each.

Is this connector connected to the back of the HVAC controls or just behind it when the HVAC controls are removed?

The C214 connector

Thanks
