Had to restart it at a yield because of this stupid crap. My 2018 did the same damn thing. I have the *** Eliminator installed and *** is always off yet it still did it.

tap into the back of headlight switch, pin 15, - violet wire with gray tracer. that is the dash illumination wire. easy to get to by popping the kick panel

I ran the cable down the pocket, along the bottom of the bed and into the rear cab vent

Down the pocket

Strapped to bed

Into cab vent

When i had lip mount on bed rail i went through this cap and into cab vent. Cut the connector off and it makes it much easier to feed through.

I initially used Forscan to disable it and it never came on accidentally or otherwise. my new tune from 5startuning already includes the *** disable. so if you ever think about getting a tune and do not want to use forscan, the tuner shop can typically include the *** disable in the tune.

another option is to get the Drive Mode Memory Module from timer.shop ($40) and leave your truck in sport mode by default. *** is disabled in sport. http://timers.shop/F150_c_20.html

First I popped off the valve covers to tap them for -10 fittings to re-plumb my catch can. The adapters from UPR I was using kept coming loose.
Then I reset the ride height with the coilovers after I swapped from VAS to BWoody conversion brackets. The BWoody parts are thicker, stronger and mount better.
Then I took a nap with the dogs. lol

Nicely and cleanly done. I thought that was how you would do it with the straight down in the stake hole mount. As you can see in my earlier post, I don't think I have the clearance to get down the stake hole around the offset mount. I'm trying to avoid cutting off the factory connector if I can. I can pop off that forward plastic bed plug and cut a slot in it, then replace it with the cable in place. I figured I'd have to go through the cab back vent but am looking for options. If I do go through the vent, I'll likely drill a hole cable sized and cut an X on it to push the connector through.

2015 3.5 EcoBoost
Started yesterday receiving alerts
See Manual
Collision Warning Not Available
Hill Decent Control Fault
Service Advance Trac
I would turn off engine and restart and alerts would disappear and in a short period of time reappear , during alerts the gas pedal would fall to almost null !
Just by chance, took my 4yr old JMS Pedal Max off and reverted it back to stock and have had no alerts since
I mentioned this just as an FYI
