There was a earlier post about the full Kit from Camera Source https://camera-source.com/
it is about $325.00 I looked into this and seemed like the way to go. When I went to dealer the parts guy said you cant do it with ford parts. Go after market he said. This was only one guy. How's your project going?

I left the office before the harness arrived. I will post pictures once I return on the 19th.

I found another part number for the harness but I'm not sure its going to work. I guess worst comes to worst I can sell the camera I have and buy the one from camera source and tap it into my Edge for the 179.00 option. In order to use it with the screen on the dash in the more expensive kit you have to use the ogle switch provided or wire it to an up fitter switch. Id be worried about water getting into the cab using this kit as it goes behind the OE lamp.

The Part number I found was 14A411C, I'm not sure if anyone has the ability to look that number up but its only a 10.00 part so I doubt that's the harness and my dealer isn't really "friendly" with these types of questions.

I installed a gooseneck ball in my 16’ F-150 to haul a trailer. I solved the sight issue by installing a 2CH (1080P) dash cam. I bought The Lucas brand. It pairs to my iPad seemlessly. I simply turn the camera down a bit and use the invert option so Left right turn match the steering wheel. Two bonuses are I’m recording all crazy drivers front and back. As well the Lucas system also operates like a closed circuit TV for up to 100’ direct line of site. Basically if your in a cafe or restaurant you can monitor the front and back of your rig with only a 1sec delay. Works awesome.

Here is what the back of the Lamp and Camera Looks like and a good shot of the harness end.

How long in the harness connected to the CHMSL? Looks like its about a foot? So there's a harness between that and the c-pillar connector yet?

I might be wrong on this but I thought I read that the XLT to Limited models in similar cabs and 4x4 or 4x2 have the same main wiring harness.

Seems odd there that a complete harness is so hard to identify. According to the shop manual, it would appear, both pigtails could be ordered, and a cable soldered up to make the correct length.

I agree with you on making the harness. I have the side that you posted the pin locations too. I would need the side that goes to the C-pillar connection. I was just letting Greg know that his harness isn't the correct one, unless I'm not seeing something properly.

I agree Greg's cable is not correct.

Since you have the FU2Z-14S411-DB pigtail, from my diagram, maybe getting FU2Z-14S411-DA would complete the cable, with a little soldering of course...

Or...with the proper pins and crimper, it would appear, all one may have to do is add wires at Pins 1 (Fuse 34) & 2 (Rear Camera Park Assist).

The only fuse I found listed for any camera, is Fuse 34, labeled as:
Blind spot information system.
Run-start.
Front camera.
Rear camera.

I took pictures of my cabling for the camera while my headliner was out. I do not have the camera but you can clearly see a cable running from the "C" pillar to one just short of the third brake light where your short 1 ft connection would plug in. Hope this helps.

That is the CHMSL harness, the camera is integrated into that harness if the truck is equipped. The interesting thing to see is what does the connector at the C-pillar look like and does it already have the extra pins in it for the camera. If id does not then the body harness is not the same for all Lariat-up trim levels. .
