Who knows the pin out for the reverse light pin 4 does not work you get the white lights on when the engine is on.
Also pin 3 does not work for the running lights no lights at all. tested with the trailer connector and all works.
Pin 10 works for the turn and brakes lights.

Note that not all automotive manufacturers connect the reverse light to the trailer connector. Ford does, but I don't know about the others.

Has anyone tried to use the new Putco 92010-60 RED Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar 60 in. Blade LED Light Bar w/Blis And Trailer Detection RED Blade LED Tailgate Light Bar, Found one on Amazon, says it works with newer F150. I just upgraded to an 18 F150 and looking to put a better led tailgate bar on than I had on my 16.

It does work if you wire it to the tail lights like the instructions tell you to. if you are looking to plug it into the 4 way plug then no, it doesn't.

Like toledoUPSguy said, you can wire the 12v+, GROUND, and REVERSE wires to the trailer wiring. You MUST wire the taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and flasher lights into the tail lights inside the truck fenders. (You can also wire the 12v+, GROUND, and REVERSE wires inside the fenders, if you prefer.)

After I explained this was the 2nd one that went bad (1st didn't work at all) and I tried two of their ford modules which didn't work to solve the BLIS issue like they orignally stated and last but not least was honest enough to let them know they sent me 2 but only billed for one they agreed to send me a return label for the defective one.

I am not willing to spend the effort to install the new one so it will be going in the circular filing cabinet. Hope everyone else has better luck with theirs. They look great when they work.
Sounds like you never got your Opt7 to work properly with you Blis.

Sure I did. It worked great then it didn't. Again you are now just wanting to argue.

I have a 2015 F-150 Lariat. I Got a light bar and put it on my truck using a wire harness.
I have the radar Blind spot system, using the harness caused my truck to think I had a trailer connected.
So direct wired using dc73pd pin configuration. It all works great when the power is on but, when I start the truck the turn signals don't work.
They blink once then start blinking fast as if a tail light was out.
I double checked the wire configuration and it is correct. I grounded it to a different location on the frame and still same problem.
Is there anyone that can give me the answer why this is happening and what I can do to fix it.
