Consumer Description
OWNED 2016 F150 SINCE MAY 2016. BEEN IN SHOP 6X NOW FOR ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. REPLACED FUEL PUMP MULTIPLE TIMES, AND POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, STILL NO POWER FROM 7 PT. WIRING HARNESS TO CAMPER. APPARENTLY OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM - "I AM ALSO HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MY NEW 2016; NO 12V POWER AT THE 7 PIN TRAILER PLUG. I HAVE A DUAL PORT 12 VOLT POWER ADAPTER THAT PLUGS IN THE 7 PIN PLUG TO RUN 12V ACCESSORIES LIKE A SMALL AIR COMPRESSOR ETC. (LIKE THIS HTTPS://WWW.AMAZON.CA/REESE-TOWPOWER...204460_TE_ITEM) I JUST TRIED IT YESTERDAY FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT HAD NO POWER. I BENCH TESTED THE ADAPTER AND IT IS WORKING. WHEN LOOKING AT THE PLUG AT THE BACK OF THE TRUCK, THE NEGATIVE (-) IS AT THE 1 OCLOCK POSTION AND POSTIVE (+) IS AT THE 7 OCLOCK. I PUT A MULTI METER ON THOSE TRAILER PLUG PINS WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING AND NO POWER. ON THE DASH COMPUTER I ENTERED THAT I HAD MY TRAILER HOOKED UP AND STILL NO 12V AT THOSE TWO PINS. THE TURN SIGNALS (PINS AT 9 OCLOCK AND 3 OCLOCK RESPECTIVELY) AND RUNNING LIGHTS (PIN AT 5 OCLOCK) HAS 12V POWER.THE TECH CAME OUT WITH A SHOP MADE BOARD THEY HAVE FOR CHECKING TRAILER WIRING. WITH THE TRUCK RUNNING, TRAILER CONNECTED ON THE DASH AND EVEN ADDED A "NEW" TRAILER STILL NO POWER! HE PLUGGED IN THE SHOP COMPUTER AND COULD NOT SEE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. SO THE DEALERSHIP IT STUMPED. THEY WILL BE "CALLING DETROIT" TO SEE IF THEY HAVE A SOLUTION. SO, TURN SIGNALS WORK, RUNNING LIGHTS WORK, BRAKES WORK BUT NOT 12V DC. SO, IF YOU HAVE A CAMPER, WHILE DRIVING YOU WILL NOT HAVE POWER FOR YOUR FRIDGE OR INTERIOR CAMPER LIGHTS, CHARGING CAMPER BATTERY ETC.CONTACTED FORD, THEY RECOMMENDED FILING A COMPLAINT WITH YOU
