I have a 2015 Hawk and recently upgraded by 2009 F150 for a 2016 F150. I have my new truck all set up with suspension upgrades and mounting but am having troubles with charging.
The new truck is:
Ford F150 XLT
3.5 Ecoboost
FX4 Package
Sport Package
Max Tow Package
On my 2009 truck, there was a separate relay and fuse for the charging through the trailer harness. We simply wired into the harness just in front of the wheel well and all was fine. We wired my new truck similarly. The running lights are hot and active but the the charge wire does not seem to be live. There is no relay in these new trucks but rather, the system seems to be activated by a controller. I have the Max Tow Package and have found many references online to the charge wire not being powered until it senses a trailer that requires a load. My camper is plugged in but the truck does not seem to sense it. I have configured a new trailer I call "camper" but that did not seem to help either.
I know there are a few owners of 2015 and 2016 F150s on the forum, so I'm writing for some assistance.
Thanks much in advance.
