I agree on the relay use. I would add an inline fuse between the relay and light, close to the light. The most heat (resistance) is going to come from the light. [The actual flow of electrical current is from the negative connection to the positive connection.] If the light were to short...

I am not advocating for any one to be fired. They did that to themselves for failing to follow Ford and dealership protocols and requirements. That is how sales people and finance people get fired at dealerships. Fact of business life at dealerships. You are assuming so much and were never a...

Understand that the dealership is REQUIRED by Ford to obtain all A,Z,X or D Plan information BEFORE the sales contract is COMPLETED and signed, if they want to be reimbursed for selling at the Plan price. At this point, it is their problem. The contract is now consummated (yeah, like in...

YOU have to decide if this is the vehicle that meets YOUR intended needs. Our needs and wants and tolerances and financial budgets are not yours. You're just building up apprehension without perspective. Go out and experience the vehicle. If you can't find the gumption to do that, then don't...

The jack has a basic merchantability warranty - so, yes, it does. The real question is, how did you do it? Was it being abused or misused. That will be the warranty question. Is it even worth going to the dealer? Well, do you own a hammer? @DriveAllNight 's suggested adapter also drives...

Is this the one where they ask, "What is wrong in this picture?"

The car has higher mileage for the 19 months driven (should be 19,000 vs 24,000). I would check the service records. Your warranty is the sooner of 36,000 miles or 3 years. - you have about 12000 miles left, which is probably before Aug 2025. You didn't mention if that is a 2 or 4 door -...

You could put a sign taped to your window. "Thanks. And I approved this purchase."

It's local market supply and demand. There are California dealers who over purchased, and others that still have small ADMs. Also depends on the models. Most still put an ADM on Raptors and [both] Heritages. Stellantis really messed up last year with over production to a price sensitive...

@Fly by Nite - I suggest re-reading the post. Metal Master Primer is used as a rust preventer. It contains an acrylic polymer to bind onto the steel. Rustoleum has similar products - check their website. You are not treating leather under the car (i.e. lanolin)- it's steel. Doesn't matter...

Under coating, at best, is an uphill battle. At worst, a scam. Dealerships no longer do it because they have been sued so often. Oils, waxes, and oil/wax/thinner combos are hydrocarbons (asphalt is an oil). As the oil's aromatics evaporate, the oil solidifies to what is commonly referred to as...

For what you would spend on new rims and tires, you could get Rock Slide Engineering's Gen 3 slides installed. That is about a 10" drop (assuming you have 33" tires now). You may appreciate that lower step in coming years. And if you have grandkids / spouse / pregnant daughters who want to ride...

Don't blame you for being upset and venting. You're not the first person on this forum to point it out. It was a lot more prevalent in late 22 and early 23 when a lot of Broncos were stored waiting on parts. It's not likely to cause damage down the road, as long as you coat it. Any rust...

Smacking it will only hurt your hand. The taillights are controlled inside the unit by a solid state PBC board. When the turn signal arm on the steering column clicks off, the micro chip inside the light detects the voltage drop and signals the micro relay to shut off (and the blinker light...

Years (decade?) ago they used to sell a Jeep version. People probably lost interest in them, like now. :p

@SPVPARTS ... Just saw your subsequent post. Great stuff. Wish some other vendors were as helpful as you folks are. It's evident you put the engineering effort into making sure your product is as good as one can get. You deserve this community's $upport.

Just to be certain, by comments were not aimed at, or meant to imply or impugn, anything about the quality of SPV product or the caliber of support offered to its customers. My son (EE that designs military and marine power supplies) has used your connectors on his truck and thinks they are...

Great work by SPV. Very happy to see the connectors availability expanded. These connectors will make it easier for experienced owners. Word of caution for the not-electronically-trained. Just because you can tap into a connector does not mean you should. Ford designed its wiring for what is...

I actually am. thank you. It's a beautiful, sunny day, 72 degrees, mild warm wind at the beach. I felt so burned by your deflection. Oh wait. Nope. That's the sun reflecting off my beer. Sorry.

If you are discussing "Buy USA Made", you are discussing global trade, in case that wasn't obvious. And global trade is economics, not politics. No one is discussing politics. It has political implications (taxes, tariffs, wealth transfer, deficits, domestic programs, political position...
