What did you do to your Ranger today? (Part Deux!)

I'll look into it and see if they have something plug and play for the existing connectors on 2011. 5 pin, I only have to splice one wire instead of 5. The 2019 already has a 7 pin plug. So, it's either use an existing adapter from 7 to 5 for the 2019 if I can't find anything that doesn't require hacking the 2011's harness, or go whole hog and 7 pin everything if I can.

Or you could go totally non-standard with a military flavor. (Get them with the number of pins you need.) Check the scrap bin over in the electrician shop.

I'm not sure those would work, though that would be cool as hell. The aircraft runs on 48 volts. So the pins and backs of the connectors are pretty small. I would need to raid the parts bin at an Army Armory or Marine station where they have ground vehicles.

Oh, I’ve learned how to do it cleanly and as good or better than factory… I did both my F-150 and my green Ranger last year I think it was. Straight up surgical.

Well, when I get that far, I'll come look you up. It would probably won't be until Summer next year at the earliest. I have other unfinished projects that need to be made closer to being finished projects. Like the garden, fire pit area, firewood racks, and rack for the carport rafters. All of those are in a "good enough for now" state. They function, but need to be better.

eTrailer says this will fit. I don't remember the connector on the 1998 looking like that when I installed a trailer plug on it....

Interesting, although I’m unsure why the breakout Tee isn’t pictured with it.

Some newer vehicles have a plug already spliced in. No tee needed.

I'll need to look.
