    How to factory reset?

    Did you get this solved? My suggestion is disconnect the WCX connector, disconnect the usb, and pull the main power from the Core. Reapply power and reconnect USB and WCX connector. If you power cycle the Core with the USB connected it does not actually power cycle logic boards in the Core...

    The shade rolls up in the back so you are able to work above and around it.

    2016 Ford Explorer XLT

    More pictures! I added an Arges and did a custom controller mount: And some cruise action with the Tracers. I added some Diode Dynamics SS2 pods to the lower grille and have their amber backlight tied into the Core. In addition to those changes I also added Hella HERO Flex lights in the...

    Steal away. Just be sure to use a steel space and some tough hardware on the "extension" part. Also, no problem on the photos, Facebook limits the number of photos so I had to pick and choose. I'm constantly making small changes.

    2018 Ford Explorer Lighting recommendation

    If you have fog lights, I do not believe you can fit two howler speakers.

    2016 Ford Explorer XLT

    The nanos are great in that location and the 6 (as expected) punches through the tint with no problem. They are mounted to the upper O.S. handle bolts. The Nanos do have a decent amount of flashback, but since it's in the back, I can't really notice it while driving. I've considered trying to...

    Another Project Box: warning and spot light in a box

    Just an FYI, the vertex pulls a peak of .75A and averages .30A, so the run time would be better, but the Vertex is probably a waste of money in that application.

    Another Project Box: warning and spot light in a box

    I have one of these: http://tuffledlights.com/product/k100-portable-remote-area-led-lighting-system/ I got it from their chinese supplier for $125 and replaced the battery with a higher capacity SLA, installed a 12v fed SLA charger so I just give it 12v, and installed some more reliable...

    Got an overall photo of the vehicle at a detail and some console pics. Still need to wash it up and get some exterior "glamour shots" haha

    2016 Ford Explorer XLT

    I would have stuck with a Carbide, I was totally happy with it, but I got an unbelievable deal for a brand new Cantrol from Whelen. Beyond that, I wanted (not needed, I could have lived with some lights doubled up) more outputs and since I have a WeCAN FST and RST, I couldn't add an expansion...

    I gotta grab a bunch of photos once it stops snowing or raining in Northern IL and I'll make sure I get a pic specifically of the RST.

    Different engine, different gear ratios, completely different modules and all conveniently tied into the BCM.

    2016 Ford Explorer XLT

    I've researched this to death, along with working with forums of others who have done the same. You can't change the module, it's now a part of the BCM, a part that no one has figured out how to modify. I've made a bunch of changes to the system but even with the official Ford scan tool, it...

    2016 Ford Explorer XLT

    I downloaded the modifiers guide months ago when I bought the vehicle. It does not provide very much information in regards to modifying civilian Explorers. The system modules are different. I had used it for some insight on disassembling things.

    2016 Ford Explorer XLT

    This has bothered me since the day I started digging into the vehicle. If I could I already would have. While the headlights are a direct replacement physically, the "Headlight Control Module" between the PIU and the XLT and above trim level Explorers are not the same. If I swap out the...
