Edited: I was trying to use an aux switche to keep the relay normally closed (on) all the time while the aux switch was in it's normal position of being "off". Hoping I could turn the steps off by turning the aux switch on. If I recall correctly, I used the positive side of that button's wiring...

Darn. Looks like I may have to edit the OP, which is unfortunate. This little discovery on my 2022 saved a lot of time. I guess we will have to wait and see which of our situations is more common?

I didn't have to buy anything for this particular project. The "nuts" on those unused holes (at least on my 2022 bronco) seemed to be a soft metal or other material. I assumed they were designed to be tapped by the OEM bolt, and thus I tapped them by borrowing the neighboring ground screw. The...

I am about to uninstall AA unless I can find a setting to stop AA from repeatedly taking over as the audio source. We are literally battling as I drive. It has become infuriating. A quick search brought little info, and then to this thread. Haha. On a side note, I have been getting a lot of...

I appreciate this input, but I definitely don't look forward to removing these again; lots of bolts. To add to the thread, I installed mine in early 2022 and have had two issues in the first year. First, almost immediately, I had a bad door sensor which they replaced for free. A year later, my...

I personally wouldn't play in deep snow on tires, even with chains. There is a reason snow-dedicated vehicles use tracks instead of tires. When a 4 wheeled vehicle with such a small tread surface-area sinks past its ground clearance (to the point where there is more weight on the frame than...

Just a wild guess on my part, using limited knowledge of the Bronco FOBs. Perhaps it's a combination of the bag's ability to leak signal and the sensitivity/location of the Bronco antennas? I can't recall where the front antennas are, but the rear antenna for detecting FOBs is right behind the...

I was blaming my increased consumption on warming the truck in the morning. After I finished my move to my new house though (with attached garage, I never warm up anymore) my consumption did not change. I went from getting almost 400 miles per tank in the summer but am now down to 330. This is...

I have had a set on for 7000 miles now, and I've been pleasantly surprised. Despite their looks, they've been some of the quieter tires I've ran.

I too went with the fastback bestop and am VERY glad I did. I really don't understand the extreme hate for bestop v. Extreme love for OEM "features". Aside from better/tighter looks, I can lift the rear window completely out of the way in about 3 seconds, while everyone is gushing over a short...

I didn't dive much deeper than a mental design on this, but I was hoping that removing and unplugging the doors would somehow tell the computer that "doors are always shut"... Else dome lights, warnings, and other things would always be on. Never got to test it though. Oh and as far as my last...

I really wanted to tap into the door wires. But, "what I didn't know" kept me from even experimenting. If the doors are ground side switches (which I think they are), it requires some additional wiring on the relay to close it (if that's what you use and not some other digital controller). I've...

Not sure if I would call my comment trolling, or anything other than normal. Just different definitions of plug and play (installing OBD plug v running & installing old school reed switches). The diy controller comment was for adventurous souls debating the plug and play benefit v durability...

Plug & Play: The Amp controllers plug into the OBD wiring and know when the doors are open by listening to the computer. I think this is far superior to the old school RSE magnets (IMO), but it's not completely plug & play based on their manual. You still have to tap some wires behind the OBD...

March 2022 build: I leave for work in the early AM, so started noticing a slight noise on cool nights. With colder weather, it has increased significantly. Whether it will cause mechanical issues in the future or not, it definitely isn't a good sound (or advertising) for Ford. I've had a lot...

I've driven manuals of every size for decades, some with and some without tachs. Some vehicles (loud commercial vehicles or most motorcycles) don't need tachs because you can hear and feel what's going on. Some you can't. Driving by "feel" doesn't give you any clue at all how close you are to...

Hope you got her fixed. It was a really annoying bug to have!

I honestly didn't notice until the later comment. I went straight to the gutter and assumed it was a reference to the Bronco ordering drivers to "PULL ON 'P' ".

https://fordauthority.com/2022/12/2023-ford-bronco-production-to-add-speaker-removal-options/ This is neat for those who might have supply constraint delays and want to add their own sub anyway (or can wait). Personally, I wish lots of things like this could have been deleted when I placed my...

The hub/ring should never see any forces if the wheel is installed correctly. That is what the rings (or hub centric wheels) are for, so that the installation is perfect at the time of torque. Once torqued (centered and correctly), the assembly is essentially a solid piece of metal. The ring...
