    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    I have has zero issues with mine and cannot see a warranty issue either. For the time it takes you could plug it back in before going to a dealer. To keep mine clean I sealed the plug with dielectric grease to keep corrosion out of it.

    What Have You Done to Your 4th Gen This Week?

    When I installed my Weathertech flaps I drilled a hole towards the inside through the fender liner. Then installed stainless fender washers and fasteners to stop them from flopping around. Much more secure now.

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    I was wondering that, the only one that could have would have been me. I had it in my pocket so maybe I sat down in a way the buttons got pressed. I now stopped keeping in in my front pants pocket and will take it out of my pocket and put it away and see what happens.

    Well I had a surprise when I went out to my garage this morning. I don't lock the doors and found the doors locked... so I got in and started it up and then I thought a window was open. Nope, the rear hatch was open with the door up against the wall. WTH??? Is this thing picking up some kind of...

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    I disconnected the wire to the foot sensor last night. Two minute job and didn't need anything to do it, not even a screwdriver. I plan to go back under later before the snow and salt hits and seal the hole where I pulled the plug out with some Dow silicone grease. I will also smear some on the...

    Yes that is correct, you have to manually open it by hand. I think I will try that sensor disable now that I know about it. Then I can still use the power lift without worrying about it activating by itself. It is a real rush when you are in the garage and go behind the truck and the lift opens...

    Hands free lift gate closing by itself

    Mine never opens when I want it to with my foot. I can kick under there 10 times and give up and push the button. But on the other hand you can be sure if I am hooking up my trailer or doing something in the garage the damn thing will attack me. I finally shut off the kick to open feature in the...

    Factory Brake Controller Question/Issue

    My F150 would detect a trailer with the 4 pin, I assumed the Ex would do the same.

    MPG Advice

    I would say the data for 2018 is pretty darn close for combined city and highway driving (50-50). The ones that drive more highway will average higher and the reverse for more city. (IMHO) The data for 2019's are kind of all over the place, not enough data to smooth it out yet. No change to the...
