I've got a 2012 F150 XLT with the 5.0. I am looking for the small female terminals that lock into the BCM plug. I've found several options, but they're all special order so I'd like to be more certain before ordering. I also could use some advice on what crimper I should get to go along with it. Thanks!
The one I want is the smallest pin. Example is the second row from the left.
Not sure what terminal you need. If you didn't want to spend the money on the crimper(some of those things are expensive) you could solder the wire to the terminal.
I just noticed that I had responses to my question. I apologize for not responding with my appreciation for your time; I didn't get a notification in my email.
I went to every auto parts store around here for advice as well as two Ford dealers and no one could offer any direction or part numbers. I was oddly surprised and, at the same time, not surprised that the Ford parts counters couldn't even offer a suggestion, much less order me the terminals.
In the end, I installed a 100A breaker to a continuous duty solenoid relay under the hood and a 100 amp, 10 circuit fused panel inside the cab. The relay is triggered off the key so removes any concerns of leaky accessories draining the battery and also makes my front/rear cameras turn on/off automatically with the key. I also like that I can work on any of my accessories without disconnecting the battery by hitting the test button to open the breaker.
The last step in this project is to remove the 120A fuse holder that goes to my amp and install the same Bussmann breaker (150A) in its' place. I prefer breakers over fuses.

I like your solution. It's your truck and you know what you want to do, so modify it to suit yourself. Don't be locked in to what the factory did unless you are afraid of warranty problems.
