Searched and didn't see an answer here. I have a 19 XLT with running boards, but no lighting. I do however, have the pigtails on each frame rail for courtesy lights. On the pic below, how does one remove the plug in the pigtail? I rooted around up there and came up empty. Anyone got em out? How? Thanks in advance.

 

Simply grab the dummy end of the plug with two fingers ( On The left ) push it in snug take your Other hand apply pressure on the female side there’s a release tab on the top it may work better if you use a screw driver and pop it off the side of the frame where you can see it

 

It does take a little messing with to be removed , but I got mine out and wired running board and side badge led's into them .

 

Do you have a link to your work?

 

Do the plugs have power to them or does it need to be enabled via forscan?

they are powered yes mine where tied into The same circuit as the entry/ exit and also could be turned on with the cargo lights from either the bed or inside the cab

 

Here is the thread : https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...lor-match.html

 

What would that plug be used for? I have the factory installed power running boards but no lighting.

 

If you have them (one on each side ) they are on the outside of the frame rail just forward of the rear wheel well opening . They are hot from the factory and everything I have read on this forum says they are for running board lights , as they fade off with the other marker lights that come on when the doors are opened .

 

Hmm, maybe on the Platinum and up trims.

 

Mine is an XLT with the FX4 package and it has em, so who know how the assembly line decided it got speced out.

 

I thought you said in your first post that you dont have lights.

 

Is there are OEM light that can be purchased?

 

I bought mine on Amazon I think. There is a thread somewhere around here that has links to light and great info.

I love mine.

Mine is a Lariat and I have read that other trim levels also have them . Not sure what option package determines application .
