Not the brightest crayon in the box here, but I would like to hardwire a tailgate lightbar through the taillights instead of the trailer connector so I can use my backup camera without the computer thinking I have a trailer hooked up. I have looked for a rear light wiring diagram, and thought I saw a post with pictures but cannot locate it now. 2016 F150 XLT Screw. Thanks in advance

 

Thanks to whoever posted the wiring diagram. I also had a problem when I wired my taillight bar to the trailer socket...cutting out my camera and BLISS. All good now !!

 

PM sent

 

Need help hardwiring a LED strip bar to my 2016 F150 XLT. Same exact as the OP. Any help would be much appreciated.

 

These are what I used for my 502a lariat but I think I read somewhere the actual light wiring is the same color regardless of plug type.

 

I had some issues tying into the tail light wiring on my 2016 f150. I think part of the issue was a poor connection with the quick splice connectors. Another thing I wasn't sure about was whether I had to tie into the ground on the passenger side also. Four out of the five wires went to the drivers side (left turn, reverse, run/stop and ground) and right goes to passenger side. Do I also have to ground the passenger side? Thanks

 

I don't have the ground going to either light, I have it going to the frame.

I also used posi-taps which work great. No issues with mine.

 

 

 

I am going to sound like a broken record but here goes again. Their module is a complete waste of money. All it does is put enough load on the 4 way plug so that power flows constantly, eliminating the trailer connected and trailer disconnected message. Hard wiring is pretty easy. Putco's website has great instructions for wiring the Ford trucks.
