From my understanding you are supposed to use the Ranger/Everest specific wiring kit as this will work with the autonomous braking and adaptive cruise. Have you heard about this?
Great video, thanks for creating it. Confirming you only have to run 1 'blue wire' to the rear of the car to go into pin 5 to have electric brakes? ie; pins 8,9,10,11,12 you didn't use at all? I got a PX ranger as well and can't find bugger all on the internet, apart from your video.
That's correct Some models already have the wire running to the back you just need to locate and wire onto it. Can also buy and adaptive harness but this is costly. And if you have experience why not save a few $$$
Hey mate, good video, does you indicator flash fast on dash after install? My vehicle is a 2020 ranger! I rang redark and they said I need there wiring kit to fix it, did you put any diodes or anything in? We have got the brake switch wire connected to the brake lights in trailer plug! Look forward to your reply?
HI guys. So the old blue service brake wire gets REPLACED with the new Tow Pro blue wire ? As in the old blue service brakes wire just doesn't get re-connected ?
Hey mate I just ran a new one so it was a bigger diameter wire as I couldn't track down the original one in the footwell. Had to run a spare wire to my canopy anyway
There is a pre-installed wire that is located behind the A-Pillar kick panel down near the bonnet release and is marked TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER, did you use that at all. Its white with a blue stripe.
Bit late but it's down by the trailer plug at the back. If you follow it up behind the wheel arch where it plugs into a harness. Peel the tape and Corri off the male plug and the blue wire is there.
The Ford Ranger wiring in Australia is slightly different to the US version. For the US version check this video for the install instructions ruclips.net/video/iKpTworZF7I/видео.html which show the pre installed wires at 3:56 in the video.
wow a scotch clip ,a big no no and a fuse def a bigger no no should be a circuit breaker and running to the brake switch on a car with a body control module a big no no cable tie module with some silicone wow you did not read the manual that comes with it and 4 hours it took you to do it all wrong ????
Your my hero Paul, if your so amazing why are you searching video's on how to do it? Sounds like you need to delete youtube and Google as you have already acquired the knowledge you will ever need 👌
@@outerlimits583 unfortunately Paul makes some good points, he's just a dick about it. You should change to a circuit breaker, if there's a short in the system you will get intermittent braking, rather than zero if a fuse pops. Also blade fuse holders don't have sufficient contact area for high current loads, usually results in melting fuse holders then fire, google and you'll find plenty of pictures. Wiring to the brake light switch is fine, its where the Ford accessory fitting manual recommends, I would ditch the scotch lock and solder though.
I couldn’t believe what I saw , I wasn’t searching for the video on how to do it ,I have sold at least a couple of 100 tow pro elites fitted many but your video it just came up as a recommended video so I watched it and yes I am a sarcastic smart ass but also 100% right ,I know you don’t like my comment but I don’t give out participation trophies lol
All these redarc videos are made by Australians and for the life of me I can't listen to their accents, it makes me cringe and I can't follow, sorry, don't mean to be judgmental, I tried three videos and I can't do it.....moving along.
The Ford Ranger wiring in Australia is slightly different to the US version. I believe there is a pre-instaled wire in the Ranger made for the US market maked TRAILER BRAKE CONTROLLER behind the A-Pillar for the electric brake controller, as Shaun Chilton metioned in his earlier comment. So not worth looking at how Aussies wire it. For the US version check this video for the install instructions ruclips.net/video/iKpTworZF7I/видео.html which show the pre installed wires at 3:56 in the video.
Loved your reaction when you found that $5
Haha doesn't happen often 🤣
This is so good.. helps me out a heap
Glad to help mate
Thanks mate you solve my problem 👍
Glad to help mate 👌
Wish we got these trucks in America
Haha and we wish we had your rules 🤣

Yes cost a fortune but. And the normal one I'm sure will not allow the use of cruise control as a safety feature

Definitely not,
Are you sure you haven't touched the indicator wire in the plug at all?
Did you ever end up solving this mate?

100th subscriber! What do I get?
I big pat on the back and 6 mins of free knowledge 🤣

CONTROLLER, did you use that at all. Its white with a blue stripe.
Na mate couldn't find it and couldn't find out where it was so ran a new one.
On the plus side I can use cruise control by not using it lol
Think I'm gonna give up looking for this mysterious preinstalled wire in my px2, been looking for a good hour!
