this would be cool but not sure its worth all the hassle. its a shame ford did something with the software to kill using RGB. I'm still trying to stomach adding the door lighting they took out haha
Do you have any pictures of the door panels removed and existing wiring harnesses? I'm just curious as to what is behind the panel; was only the small black single connector light present and plugged into the large gray energized connector -And you removed it and installed the complete wiring harness with the same large Gray connector w/ two lights for the door?
I just received my 22 Lariat today. I popped off the pretty side pieces of the console and could only see 10mm bolts underneath the front media charger bin. I put my seat all the way forward and found a bolt towards the rear of the console down low on the passenger side. Is this one of the bolts and what am I still missing? Thanks for the reply from any of you that have already completed this project. I do have all my parts and two harnesses from JH.Bottom Line Up Front, Yes, completely shift-by-wire, no cables. The console is connected via the Grey harness on passenger side and a USB connector on driver side. That's It. The rear climate vents goes into a funnel for easy reassembly.
My opinion: it's way easy to slide the center console back. I'll do my best to express with words. There are plastic beauty pieces you have to pull off first. That'll expose the bolts. (2) bolts that attach to the firewall and (4) along the base of the console. Unplug the harnesses and slide the whole thing back... Picture shows it pulled back about 8". This is why my harness was more difficult to connect. I had to slide the console forward while routing the wires through the dash. Ideally, I would incorporate another quick disconnect adjacent to the factory grey connector but I don't want to give JHForman any more hassle. He already did a solid job.
+1 for Varsity Ford. I've bought parts through them in the past and that's who I ordered my truck through this year. I have no negative experiences with Varsity Ford. Nice people, too
@NDakBoom, In my photo, does the two connectors go together?
If that's the cable you disconnected when sliding the console back, then yes, they go back together.@NDakBoom, In my photo, does the two connectors go together?
And would it have been a little easier if the wiring harness running to the glove box been a little longer- as not to have to slide the console forward at the same time??. Is that what you meant?
Thanks
Do you have ambient lighting? If you don’t you can’t add them(yet) I’m trying to come up with a solution. I don’t think a video has been made cause it’s pretty straight forward. I don’t own an F150 so I couldn’t make a video if I wanted
Yes I have a Lariat 502A with the ambient lighting.
I can help with the harness part you can PM as far as install it’s laid out really well in this thread
