So I finally finished this upgrade. Since my truck didn’t have the inverter stock, I had to make a few modifications to what
@TXFRDOwner had done, and a couple additional changes to the plan we had made in some of the diagrams above.
I had to build my own wiring harness and fish it from the inverter to both outlets (I added the AC outlet to the rear of my center console by purchasing the stock expedition plate off eBay) and BCM.
For whatever reason, pin 52 on C2280B of the BCM would not provide the appropriate voltage/data signal to tell the inverter to turn on.
I ended up combining the wires from pins 3&4 on the red and black connector of the inverter (powered by pin 17 on C2280D of BCM) in order to tell the inverter to “turn on .” Pin 52 told the inverter to “turn off” if the voltage dropped below 11 volts to keep the battery from running down, so I have to keep that in mind, but otherwise, no big deal.
Drilling the holes to mount the inverter to the “stock” position was definitely the most monotonous and frustrating, followed by the sanding of the cubby hole so the 400w f-150 plug could fit into it. The rest took time and patience, but wasn’t too bad.
@TXFRDOwner was immensely helpful during this (aka, a snowball’s chance in hell I could’ve done this without him).
Since starting this product, my wife bought a 2021 F-150, which has an inverter and three AC plugs, so naturally, I’m sure I’ll never end up using this thing after I’ve done all this work.
