It's a simple circuit. Ground is good, it shares the ground connection with other circuits that are working. So the problem is between the outlet and the Batter Junction Box. Or the outlet itself. Obvious question. You did try other devices in the outlet?

The dealer goes by VIN, not color. Ford makes the final decisions about warrany coverage, not the dealer. Modifications don't affect warrany unless the modification could affect the situation under discussion. For example wheel spacers might cause a claim for failed wheel bearings to be denied...

Nice looking '56.

There are three fuses involved with the sound system. None are labeled stereo. F31, F32 in the Body Control Module (BCM) and F146, in the Battery Junction Box (BJB)

It's F33. F32 is the front power outlet. It's in the paper owner's manual. Unfortunately the onboard manual doesn't tell you which fuse.

People talk about the 2.3L not having enough power. I have a 4-door Badlands, heaviest of all Broncos other than the Raptor. I can get rubber with little effort. But I also have stock tires. It has no problem passing going up hill on the freeway. (From Phoenix to Flagstaff). I do row the gears a...

When I was in high school I drove my Father's 1955 F-100 around town without using the clutch. It would even start in gear. When at Overland Expo I talked to a Ford engineer who was allowed to take a GT home a couple of times. He told me he only used the clutch a couple of times (stop signs).

That was the second thing I did. The steps were added at the dealer before leaving the lot. The license plate frame was replaced as soon as I got home.

My dealer includes a full tank of gas with every car they sell, even used cars.

Check F2 (10A) in the Body Control Module (BCM). For 2022 and 2023 it provides power to the overhead switches. That's how they're able to activete the relays. If it's blown your switches won't light up and you won't get power from the relays. I see no reason for other years to be different...

Voltage drop depends on current draw and wire size. What size wire is used in that circuit? I don't know. If someone is planning on a lot of current, maybe they should think about your solution. The insullation of the Bronco wiring is rated for 125C. If you can touch the wire it's not too hot.

You never know what companies make beside their core product. Insinkerator was the first producer of black boxes for airliners. Years ago Coors, yes that Coors, made the ceramic substrate for 30 mm mortar shell fuses. In the 1960s Western Electric made fire control radars for the US Navy...

Spectrum is probably blocking Forscan's domain in their DNS server since Forscan is in Russia. You could try changing DNS servers. It will probably be in your router settings. In this case Google is actually helpful. For more information enter "change dns server" in Google. Look for...

According to this, it's on a 30 Amp fuse. I'm not sure when the Trailer Tow Park relay is energized.

I've looked at a couple of these in person. The biggest problem is the handle. It sticks out too far. Why I have no idea, it doesn't need to. Remove it and you remove much of the interference. I'll probably buy one then make my own handle.
