I was wondering if anyone has made a harness for the Bronco to prevent the stupid need to Posi-Tap the BCM when installing Amp Research power steps which are "plug n play" (not).

i put AMP power steps on my Bronco about 2 years ago ... taping the tiny wires was a PITA ... i used tape to make a little gutter for when i dropped the connectors as it took several attempts to get them connected ... the good news is, once done, they are solid and have worked perfect

i am not sure if your interested, but i did also use one of these to leave the OBD port open and have the steps working at the same time

Yeah I'm definitely interested in those, but I can't believe no one has made adapters/splitter to get around Posi-Tap.

Nope not worth the price to have a custom harness made.

It's honestly not that difficult we've find. We take the front seat out and I work upside down. Not ideal BUT it works.

This is an issue on most trucks btw. We just did a RAM the other day and while the wires were easier to get to... still a bit finicky doing it.

I usually attach the taps to the ODBII wires FIRST and then I can use one hand to put 1/2 of that pin thing on the wire, twist my ODBII wire counter clockwise a few turns and then when I go to put it on and turn clockwise it straightens out. Works well.

May I ask why you didn't buy your steps from us :)

I haven't bought yet. As the Posi-Tap while easy, has me a little annoyed - especially how much these cost

Well we have them on sale right now so it's a good time to buy from us

$200 off the regular price!

Just use the REQUEST QUOTE button on our website as we've not yet activated the promos since they just kicked off yesterday

But yeah no other way for those taps right now. Take out the front seat and climb in. that's the easiest way
