Let me post a copy in PDF format. The first one is a word document so if you don't have word it won't pull up right. Let me know if this one doesn't work.
That is a very cool checklist. I’m gonna print it and laminated it, I imagine it’s the same procedure on a 25 Raptor. Thank you.
I have a '22 with the manual transmission and have been using a printout from the original owners manual for the last two years and everything worked fine up through the middle of this year. However, we just returned from a trip that started a few weeks ago and ran into issues with getting into neutral tow mode. I was getting a message (using the '22 manual instructions) that all of the conditions were not met. I was a bit panicked since this actually showed up the second time stop/second time I tried to engage neutral tow. In the original manual instructions (that I've used successfully through this spring) you don't push in on the clutch and brake to engage neutral tow mode. Apparently there was a firmware change (this summer?) that requires both the clutch and brake to be depressed to satisfy the conditions for neutral tow to be engaged. The on-board manual actually reflects that change. Not necessarily relevant to your automatic neutral tow listing but just a thought that firmware changes might need to be checked periodically. I received no notice that there was a change to the neutral tow, just a wakeup call when it failed to work
I used the Curt kit to the taillights and added two wires up front to go to the battery charge and wired it into a six pin at the bumper. Slightly longer version: I use the RVI towed battery charge system which monitors input and output so I'm sure everything is good. It comes with a + and - wire to go to the six pin, with that and the Curt four wire it goes to my six pin at the Bronco bumper. Then a Curt 7 to six umbilical from the RV and I'm set.
I think I’m gonna order that same kit, was it much work to install it yourself?
I mean, I do this stuff for perceived fun, but not bad. You have to run the 4 wire from front to rear. I ran mostly along drivers side frame rail in split loom. Then open up tailight trim which is a PITA. Then run + and- to bumper and mount up 6 pin plug and mount to bumper. Mine was done in fits and spurts since I "remodeled" it a few times, finding the combo above the best.
Thank you for the answer, you are my kind of guy (perceive fun) right. I have restored a lot of old cars and motorcycles for perceived fun, and then halfway through I‘m wondering why am I doing this! Anyway back to my Raptor, I have a lift in my shop so perhaps it won’t be such a PIHA, regardless now I know what to expect. Thank you
