Great video !! Very informative.
Great channel. Thanks for the informative videos.
God daayyym! Nice find. I’ve also done countless crimp lifetime connections, never had a problem. Rarely use solder
Thanks for the information very good video it solve my issues 👍👍
Nice job 👏
2009 F-350 same issue. I believe this will help. thanks
I HAVE SAME ISSUE WITH MY 2018 F250 NOW. HOPE I CAN FIX ISSUE. THANKS FOR VIDEO. JUST SUBSCRIBED TO YOUR CHANNEL.
Welcome my friend
Man this video was perfectly done you really did a great job presenting yourself and being very educational and explanatory keep up the good work
Excellent job. I had the same issue with my F450 2015, and I'm going to watch your video again to help me fix this issue. Thanks for sharing
BROOOO!!! Thank you for this video I literally just did this and it was right friggin there!!! Thank you so much
i just subed
I can't even begin to tell you just how much help this has been. I work for a company that builds custom flatbeds for trucks and we also do repair, I can't even tell you how many of these trucks I've had to tell the customer there's nothing I can do because of this exact issue. And the problem worsens since the Ford dealerships in our area refuse to work on trucks that have aftermarket beds on them. Whit this info I think I'll be able to troubleshoot and either remedy or point the owner in the right direction for what needs to be done. Thanks so much this has been the bane of my existence for the past 9-10 years.
Wow, juss saw this
🎉😢😢🎉😢
I love you bro. I have an 11 f350 lariat with a Hillsboro aluminum flatbed I do field work on heavy equipment for different railroads and when I was leaving a site last night at 6 I noticed it. Had this same issue where the dozen or so lights on the bed didn’t light up. Signals and brake lights worked but the parking lights didn’t. Pulled over because nobody wants a ticket. Checked fuses, all good then prayed to the google gods that there was a free/legible wiring diagram. Then I found you, my guardian angel. Put my circuit tester on pin 6 and sure enough it was open. Had it back up in 15 minutes. Then I drove 4 hours home 🙃

Thank
You for this information I will
Check the wiring by the front tire thanks again
Great info. Now I am going to go check that on my 2013.
The comment about the solder ..... Too funny! Nice work
Excellent video. I have this exact issue on my 2016 F350. I have been trying for 2 weeks to find the issue and this is tons if information in a (short and sweet ) amount of time. YOU DID AWESOME.
So I did find my issue because you gave me a good direction to go in. You showed the path the wiring was supposed to go in that I hadn’t known before. My issue wasn’t behind the headlight, but just before that in the wheel well. I had just looked at those wires but because I was not sure they had to do with that circuit I over looked that the wire had rubbed in two right where it touched the edge of the wheel well. The wires were exposed out of the sheathing and that wire was the one touching. I pulled down on it and it came right apart. I assimilated one of your lifetime repairs ;) and the rear running lights and license plate lights worked. Hallelujah!!! I was going to have to take it to the shop and they already had said just to start the diagnosis’ was $300.00. I REALLY APPRECIATE you taking the time to make that video. You did a great service to quite a few troubled FORD owners. God bless you.
I appreciate you
This diagnosis solved the issue I had with my rear tail lights. The 10:00 mark where the wires are cut by the conduit is exactly what happened to my 2016 F250SD. Moving the conduit caused the wire ends to touch completing circuit. The repair took about 30 minutes. I thank you so very much for your help.
Thank me with a donation to my channel
Dude
Great job.
I've been trying to fix these tail lights for 2 weeks.
I owe you a beer 😎
Awesome video. Ive watched quite a few now.
Ive traced this harness and can not find where mine is pinched. However on the larger grey connector to the right above the shock tower mount a have a couple other wires wore through. None of these fixed my issue. Lol
Thx for the heads up, love the videos man
My buddy said electricrical trouble is the 555 rule it could take 5minutes 5 hours 5 days and at the time was the dumbest thing he’s ever said to me and a month later when I was 2 days into finding the issue I was laughing,,your channel is the best I’ve found on CZcams Ty keep up the great content
I have a 2012 F350SD with the same issue! If it wasn't for this post I would have taken it to the dealer. Thank you so much for the video!
My man!! Keep it locked to the channel sonny
Man thanks alot for your video. I fix my tailigh, abs and traction control problems because of your video. Great 👍👌👍
My man, hell yeah bud...stay locked to the #1 Ford Superduty channel on the net
good find and repair. i have to tackle this same issue in the morning and this video helped me alots. let see where my problem lies.
Make sure to like and subscribe at 10000 subs I'm doing a giveaway send me an email and I'll shoot you out some PTT stickers
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod OK i found the problem. Connector behind bumper on left chase, main connector for all back lights, parking light male prom was completely broke off. Kind of dissolved by rust. Took me about 45 minutes to pinpoint it. Your video did helped me quite a bit. I cleaned that connector, filled real good with dielectric grease, and made a bridge of y/b wire. Job done.
Right on time bro
Another very good instructional video, thank you. Sure wish you were my local dealership tech.
Thanks buddy, meeeee tooooo
👍
just wanted to thank you! this came my way and sure enough rub through l f wheel well saved me much time!
Hell yea
Great Job, found my problem as soon as i removed the inner fender, keep up these great videos
Hell yea
I had a similar issue and it was a corroded harness connection by the spare tire passenger side . I chopped it out and solder the wires together .
👍👍👍👍
have 2007 F550 with rear light issues, front work
...ok
Having that problem now and can’t find the problem I’m in North Dakota and don’t know anyone
Sry pal
Damn 261 thousand on the OD. Good looking truck. My 13 has 168 thousand. This guy keeps her in the wind. Hard to believe no U joints, wheel bearings or EGR. My EGR clogged at 160 thousand.
Yepp i knw
Exselete diagnostic amigo. Good. Nice video
Gracias
Ford does make there manual nice. I fix Nissan's and they would never have disconnect bcm connection and power up circuit. But I will have to keep that in mind next time.
Brilliant. Your problem solving skills are amazing. Ill bet your to go to guy at the dealership for the tough issues.
👍👍😉😉
Noice video brotha. I had a Subaru STI with similar issues. Believe it or not I like wiring issues. Love finding the problems everyone else gave up on.
Me too, eureka!
Have a 2019 Ford E450, need to know which fuses to check for the running lights and the power mirrors. The fuse box is the one with 1-10 at the top of the diagram Greatly appreciated to know which number fuses I need to check.
The diagram is in the owners manual
I don't have front markers or rear tails, but my brake lights work, as welll as my signals and running lights on my 2011 F250..sound like same issue as shown in video?
Could be....
A-Rod, these are the problems that most people just live with. And yeah, the Ford PC/ED is well done and I have yet to find an issue it didn't cover.
Have a good weekend Sir from up here in Canadur,

My mann!!
Good afternoon AROD where is your shop located. I need a mechanic like you to fix my 2017 ford f250 superduty 6.7 diesel electrical problem with my lights. Good info video!!!!
Deeeetroit
Nicely done video!
Thanks buddy
there is a blue wire with red strip in the same bundle. Could you possibly tell em what it is for.
I don't know what it's for.....
I started seeing water soluble wire on other makes a few years back. I'm in TX so no or very little salt or mag chloride here but I see chafed wires disintegrate. Had not seen anything like it before in 40 years of wrenching except on trucks carrying fertilizers or other corrosives. Makes me wonder if they alloyed the wire when copper went up in price so much a few years back.
where did you get the computer of ford information
Nice, as usual! Man that would royally suck if it was any further in towards the BCM! If that run of the harness had to be replaced... uggh.
Spot on
Of course it right. Done by the A-Rod
Great repair service! Having the right tools for the job makes a world of difference!
Question: I have a 2005 f350 with the “Jellybean” mirrors, I bought 2008 OEM mirrors to update my truck. Does Ford make pigtails for the connection or do I have cut the connector off my old mirrors & reconnect each wire from the ‘08 wire harness to my ‘05 connector?
Thanks for all you do making your videos! I learned a lot from your channel!
No pigtail, maybe aftermarket but yeah you'd hafta wire it up
Thanks!
Good find Bro! Have a great 4th of July. I think I'll go up to Daytona next week end.
Thanks u2 buddy
Info. On all my trailer wiring (especially boat trailers) I solider the connections then silicone the solder connection then push heat shrink tubing over that and heat with heat gun. The excess silicone squeezes out. Solid waterproof connection.
My qualifications? Air Force aircraft electrician.
On trailers I have nothing but trouble with crimp connectors. Wires get oxidation, or corrosion or just pull apart.
I make life time connections. Never had a problem
I ran a jumper to my plug and the tail lights came on so would that mean the bcm needs to be replaced in the passenger foot well or is there another one in a different location?
My lights are out where’s your shop, I’m on the way
Deeetwaaaah
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod no tail lights or mirror lights no license plate light
Ok come see me
Great info. I had a BCM go out on my 2011 F350 6.7L Crew Cab during hunting season in 2017. My issue was different than what the Ford tech's had seen before with a bad BCM. Instead of the running lights not coming on, mine would not shut off. Other than that, I have not had any issues with that truck. I have used your tips to get ahead of future issues, and corrected most of the potential chaff/rub points on the trucks harnesses. I still have that 2011 and have added a 2019 F350 6.7L Crew Cab to the stable. What issues are you seeing with that model year?
Wow thats awesome!! 2019, not too many things so far..check my 19 videos.
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod Thanks. I must say so far so good on the 2019. 7000 miles and lovin' it!
6.7 2016 F250
So front running lights are not working, but lights in the mirrors are, for the front. Running lights are completely out in the back including the trailer running lights. Turning signals front and back work
brake lights work
and reversing rights.
I cant find a blown fuse. Any advice? I have pulled the headlight and checked for that wiring issue, everything checked out.
Gotta get the pin point test for those circuits
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod i found a wire to the tail light that was grounded. fixed it and replaced fuse all is good. Great info in the video tho thanks
Boom now thats whats up friend
I have no tail lights, however I do have license plate lights??? Is there a fuse to check? I see nothing in the fuse panel that says tail lamps, parking lamps, or tail lights? These are the only lights that do not work. Rear brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights all operate as they should. Another point is that when I am towing a trailer, all trailer lights work properly including tail lights. I am at a loss!
Sounds like u need to get some diag done
You da man 💪💪💪
Thanks Freddy
Should use heat gun. Much safer.
I have a 2013 f350 6.7l all my running lights work besides the rear my rear license plate light works but not the rear tail running lights? Any suggestions would help thank you
It could be a wire, a module. You'd have to book an appointment for me to tell you..
@@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod was a broke wire in the rear where the plugs split video was great help thank you
AROD I think I may have the exact same issue. When my break pedal is depressed the tail lights come on (not the brake lights) but not when the headlights are on. When the headlights are on nothing in the rear works. In addition, when I engage the turn signals the fronts work but the rear tail lights both flash. oh and when I click the lock button on the remote, all the rear lights flash even the licence plate lights. I'm checking things out tomorrow. Thanks and I have my ears on if you have any thoughts. Yes I have Cash App. :)
Gotta get down on diag time
Mirror marker lights quit working on my 2016 F-250 when I bumped over some debris on a job site . It was just the front of truck before I backed up. I suspect it is the same sort of issue you just repaired. Where can I get the manual download? Great video!
Thanks Gary. The public can go to motorcraft.com & buy the time you need to access the manuals
Opinion on a good heat shrink butt connector (Like E-Volt's) vs this non-insulated connector with adhesive heat shrink?
I love the way i did it, it saves room if your doin multiple circuits at once, cheap & ensures I make life time connections
what if they illuminate with the jumper wire? what is number 7?
Im not following ya bro, old asf vid
I’m having The same problem on my 2002 F3 50 I’ve been all over the truck many times check the fuses 10 times connections in the rear tail lights license plate lights everything I have brake tail light and back up that all work and when you hook up a trailer to it those lights work on the trailer for running but my truck tail lights do not work I just seen your video I hope it’s the same on my 2002 as the fifthTeen that you worked on this information is hard to find I hope it’s my problem
Not even close to yours broski......
Bad ass video Rod. We have a 2006 F650 and the brake Caliper damaged the rotor but I have to torque the hub nut can you help out with torque procedure and torque specs Thanks .
Ok i will
Driving an 06 f250 6.0 Powerstroke
I have an issue with a 2015f550 flat bed I have no clearance light or parking light at all not rear not front not on top of cab or mirrors. I tried to use some of your techniques to guide my self. My 40 and 30 fuse have no power both were melted and switch them and still no power. Just curious is used my power probe on both fuses and pass power I got lights. Then I disconnected both connectors D and E and pass power and I got to turn on rear and then front….I’m sort of stuck I’m thinking that it’s going to be the BCM could that be the problem ??? Another thing is on the connector C on the BCM two pins have corrosion too….Any advice?
Bring it to my shop
Shoot I wish I’m from Texas I started working for my self I was doing more heavy duty diesel but I got this company that brings all their fords 350-550 so now I started doing light duty diesels im more into heavy duty I’ve been getting a little more familiar with them but I’m kinda stuck on this one
2014 F-350 right rear running light only works in reverse and when doors are unlocked. I'm hoping you might have an idea.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 yea if i could look at the truck....
@PowerStroke Tech Talk w/ARod where you at? I'll bring it over

I have a guy in LA!
Hey Arod, I've got a 2011 F-250 Super Duty 6.7 4x4 Lariat crew short bed. My rear *brake* lights are INOP (and my trailer brake lights are also INOP when towing). Here is what IS operable: All turn signals (F&R), hazard lights, high stop lamp and backup / reverse lights. Based on both physical checking of fuses and relays as well as careful analysis of the wiring diagram (which, btw seems to make clear that the turn / stop / hazard uses 1 wire per side, for front and then again for rear) means that I don't have an open or short (although Forscan DTC says I do on both L and R turn / stop circuits - see below for exact DTC codes).
My conclusion was BCM. So...I ordered a rebuilt BCM from Module Experts in Jacksonville. When it arrived I suspected it wasn't correct for my truck based on looking at the Ford part number compared to mine but installed it anyway. Once installed, the alarm goes off, all lights flash, multiple security warnings on the dash, and truck won't start. I *was* able to read from it using Forscan but could *not* write to it (error was something about "conditions aren't right" - which in hindsight made sense). But here's the crazy thing, even though I couldn't program it into the truck, the rear brake lights were now working! So, because I didn't want my truck to be non-driveable for a week while sending in my old BCM for repair, I turned to Peoria Ford in Arizona. They sourced a "4th gen" (aka the most up to date version of the BCM for my truck) for me. I installed it, programmed it successfully (truck now starts, runs, all functions work). However now I have some remaining problems besides the fact that the TPMS system still needs to be re-programmed (I have 5 DTC's related to that and the interior lights flash all the time when the truck is running - which I read is normal because of the TPMS) I have the following DTC's which I cannot clear:
U2100:00-8A BCM Initial Configuration Not Complete (I assume this is due to TPMS not done yet?)
U2200:55-0A Control Module Configuration Memory Corrupt | Fault Symptom: Not Configured
B1182:55-8A TPMS | Fault Symptom: Not Configured
(4) DTC's one each for LF, LR, RF, RR TPMS Sensors Not Programmed
B132B:15-0A Left Stop/Turn Lamp | Fault Symptom: Circuit Short to Battery or Open
B132C:15-0A Right Stop/Turn Lamp | Fault Symptom: Circuit Short to Battery or Open
Any ideas on how I can resolve these DTC's and ultimately get my rear brake lights working again (and trailer brake lights)
P.S. Several other things of note:
1) I periodically get a warning on the dash while driving / towing about a trailer wiring fault - comes and goes, only comes on once each time the truck is started
2) I've periodically had a DTC re: trailer tow module, which I assume is related to #1 above
3) I've already replaced: Brake Switch, Steering Control Module, Hazard Switch
4) I've checked multiple times, every fuse that could possibly have anything to do with any of this - found no blown fuses, ever, plus the new 4th gen BCM came with all new fuses from Ford.
5) Swapped out relays for turn signals / trailer tow (no change) and besides, the turn signals and hazards all work which utilize the same relays as for stop lamps / brake lights
6) With this new 4th gen BCM, I initially had a DTC that said that high stop lamp was pulling too much current and Forscan suspected incorrect bulb - I've since changed the bulb to an LED
7) I've read that rear brake lights INOP can be caused by too much current draw from incandescent lamps (and typically you'd see a DTC - which I've never had), so I've changed both rear Turn / Stop bulbs to LED (also changed both reverse light bulbs to LED as well) just to see - still same behavior as outlined above
8) Ever since installing and programming the new 4th Gen module, my turn signals (both sides) flash very fast) like there's a bulb out. Spoiler, there's not.
9) I am using the current version of Forscan as of 9/19/21 with Forscan's approved / recommended USB adapter, on a Win 10 machine that is fully patched up and I've made sure the adapter is running the latest firmware and drivers
10) I do have an SCT tuner with a tune in the PCM. Said tune was in the PCM at the beginning of the BCM swapping and is still in there. Any chance I need to first revert to stock tune, and then re-program the new BCM?
11) 4th Gen BCM purchased from Peoria Ford:
• Ford P/N: DC3T-14B476-DC
• Ford Kit P/N: DC3T-14C442-BE
• Module number on outside of box BCM came in: DC3Z-15604-C 1X (under this number: 5390838 next to a barcode)
• Large Letter in upper right of sticker w/ above part numbers on it: D
Original BCM numbers: (this BCM was in the truck when I purchased it used)
• Ford P/N: BC3T-14B476-DJ
• Ford Kit P/N: BC3T-15604-DF
• Large Letter in upper right of sticker w/ above part numbers on it: D
Incorrect Module from Module Experts (that when installed, refused to program to truck, but caused the brake lights to work!)
• Ford P/N: BC3T-14B476-DJ
• Ford Kit P/N: BL3T-15604-BG
• Large Letter in upper right of sticker w/ above part numbers on it: B
Finally: Do I need to have my PCM flashed up to match up with this new 4th gen BCM? I'm out of ideas. I've been riding for over a month with no brake lights, I tow regularly and would really like to get them working. Not safe driving like this.

Ford should do a better job preventing chafe points. On the other hand, this truck has a lot of miles and made it this far. Relatively easy fix, and done well.
I don’t know how people rack up so many miles on their vehicles. Diesel fuel is 5 dollars a gallon here in western Canada. I only drive my 05 6.0 to and from work. I’ve got 230,000km 143,000 miles on the clock. On average I put 18000km 11,000 miles a year.
Not unusual for the RV transport/delivery people to rack up 60K miles per year on their trucks.
