I did this last night by dragging the active color as low as I could get it and the lights turned off.

If you just want to hear it, open the driver door. It will leave the speakers off for the engine noise.

I have not read the entirety read, so this may be a repost. It's also not a hint, tip, or trick, but it is something that I accidentally discovered. If you have the 2.7, and the start/stopis engaged, and you release your seatbelt the truck starts back up. Makes sense.

If you are still looking for the strap you pull to release the fold down mechanism for the 2016 SCAB driver's side rear seat, here is a picture. Note the strap is on the door side, a couple of inches from the headrest. It's much easier to find the second time!



I put a leather strap on top of this strap to bring it up above the seat back so I don't have to dig for it next time, but if you leave it as it is, it becomes a stealthy place to store things.

Default Truck Bed LED Lights

There are two buttons to turn truck bed LED lights on (one in cab, one in truck).

BUT, does anyone know if there is a way for the truck bed LED lights to turn on automatically? ie - when the interior cab lights turn on?

Just curious - thks.

When improperly installed (not programmed with forescan) my led bed lights worked with the interior lights (doors, locks etc.) and with the bed switch, but not the cab switch. After completing the job (programming) they now work with the bed and cab switch, but do not work with the locks/doors (even tho the cab mounted bed light does).

Whew, finished all 107 pages on this thread. Just got a 2016 Ford F150 XLT and learned some new tricks on here: secret stash behind driver's side rear seat, the hidden key fob nook, how to turn off the seat belt reminder chime. Thanks for all the input.
