So I have towed a small utility trailer a few times now and have working lights. Connecting the trailer turns off blind spot monitoring. I assume this is because the system would have no idea of the overall length of the combination or the sensors could not function with a trailer blocking them...
OK, passive entry has been defeated. Rear door is super easy: remove access panel and unplug connector. Front doors are more difficult. Bit of work to get the handles out, more work to put them back.
I added green masking tape around the body of the door plug. This creates a stopper so the...
Only one question left. I'm planning to remove the door panels to spray the door seams with waxoil to reduce corrosion. Are the sensor connectors easily reachable from inside the door? No point removing the handles if I can remove the connectors when the door panels are off.
So disabling the capacitive touch sensors would effectively block the key fob sensing? What actually tells the windows to retract the half inch during door opening?
@Ducati1098 did you get a chance to look at the key sensing? Is there separate wiring for the key detection that could be unplugged without setting any codes?
The driver's door only setting sounds good but is a bit odd. If I want to open the rear door (or any other non drivers door), I must use the door panel unlock button after opening the drivers door. The odd part is that now all the locks unlock AND all the windows go down a half inch waiting for...
The only setting I could find was the "press unlock and lock on the fob together" to change it to drivers door only unlocking. This set correctly but did not change the "all doors" operation of keyless unlocking.
Please tell me how to get to the setting you are referring to.
I like your creative thinking. While waiting for the Bronco to arrive, I had a few different rental cars. They would turns the lights on and unlock the doors when I walked by mowing the lawn.
Is there any way to defeat keyless entry? I only want locking/unlocking from the physical fob buttons and/or the physical buttons on the door panel.
I realize that keyless requires touching the door handle to work. I don't like the fact that someone else could enter the vehicle while I'm 3 feet...
Thanks, the USB port showed up fine (on the source list). The physical ports don't show up very well hidden down in the console. Had to get a flash light to see them and then the relection from the touch screen showed the myriad of fingerprints........it would be nice to have some physical...
26 Heritage, stock equipment.
Audio source does not list AUX or USB. WTF?
I'm looking for the simplest way to play music WITHOUT needing a phone or wireless device.
Any ideas?
Thanks Nick, you nailed it. Shortly before seeing your post, I connected up an old incandescent tail light just to see if the led trailer lights had too low of a draw, but still got no function.
I hate going to the dealer with a manual transmission vehicle since almost no one knows how to drive...
2026 Heritage Edition with manual transmission. The Ford installed hitch wiring does not work. WTF? I ordered the factory hitch with the vehicle so it would be ready to use when I received the vehicle. But there is only power at the running light pin, no brake light or turn signal power. Did the...
