You are a smart man Boss. Not only are you a vehicle tech but a computer tech as well. I can't imagine the training you go thru. I remember when you could fix 'em with bubblegum and baling wire lol. Wait! Oh God I'm old lmbo

Hey boss great video as always, I have several sets of diamond file tweezers specially for getting into those little pins! Definitely a small piece of kit but well worth investing in! Keep the videos coming!

Outstanding video! Straight forward, clear & concise. Great quality, expert diagnostics & clear fix. Thank You!

i needed you 3 years ago i had exact same issue and it was a nightmare to fix

Thank you for this video. Expecting delivery in a few weeks on a F-450. Good to know to throw some dielectric grease in the connection immediately as a preventative.

Good call man. That is really suprising how many codes that one connector will throw. Could you list the Ford part numbers for that Electricial grease, that tough grey silicone gasket maker, and any other of the Ford shop supplies that work great? Love these how to videos man, keep ‘em coming! Thanks Rich!

Great job as always sir..you would think that the manufacturers would have this problem solved with these POS quick connectors by now..but that's not the case.

A little dielectric can reduce contamination intrusion and even more importantly fretting inside the connectors. Just don’t over do it guys. Just a tiny bit on each pin and on the connector seals.

Your "temporary" repair will probably out last the factory connector! I used to make connections encased in silicone for my off road bug and drove that thing through pouring rain storms while others were stalled on the side of the roads.

Hell yea good job for finding it the issue!!!

Great quick fix that works

Awesome information I'll add that electric grease to my truck before it gets bad

Ran into this same issue last week. I don't want to admit how long it took me to find the problem 😅

Seems to be that when cars had solid wires front to back there were no problems , as soon as they started splitting the wires and adding quick connections then they have all these bad connections an shorts. Some times it’s not better 😐

Great video. When you took it apart did it smell like onions? I could go the rest of my life without thinking about this...for more information see previous video.

Great video. Where are you located. I have intermittent lights going on and dealer hasn’t been able to help me.

I’m trying to fix my 2013 f150. I cleaned the connectors but I can’t get the stupid things to plug back in all the way. Camera works sometimes now so I’m hoping if I can just get them to go in all the way it will work. Ever had this issue? They won’t go in the last 8th inch

Firm believer in using Dielectric grease. So much for "weather pac connectors"

What years? I assume you are using dielectric grease?

Is this the same issue with the 20-21 explorer rear cameras or is that specifically a hardware issue with the camera?

I have no power to my steering wheel, blinkers and high beams not working. Lights illuminate at night & horn works. Also throwing about 8 messages from 4x4, hillside decent, adaptive cruise, trailer brake module, all started after leaving a job. 2018 f450 platinum (new clock spring and sccm)

Do you remember what some of the other issues were? Any dash lights on?

Whoever green lighted the designs and routing of the new looms/connectors, should be pushing the big broom in the warehouse- cause damn

👍👍👍👍

Can this issue cause the battery to drain? I’m having the same issue but my truck batter doesn’t last a day and drains quickly.

I just bought an 2015 F250 6.7 L powerstroke and I’m replacing my washer Fluid hoses… How do I replace the lower washer Fluid Hose that comes from the pump and goes to just behind the battery on the passenger side? I tried to figure it out but I am stumped.. thanks in advance

Wondering if this might occur on the front camera in my 22 F350. I have intermittent black screen in the front camera feed in 360 view. 😢

Never ends Ford WAS my go to now steering wracks locking up axles leaking oil thin axle tubes cheap now and drive shafts falling out. And now my go to a V8 has a belt driven oil pump not likely. Done with this brand 15 years pulling wrenches with Ford own a 2007 with the crappy 5.4 never been crappy to me over serviced 13 years later no rattles or ticks 175,000k 5k oil changes 20k plug changes still runs like new. And I thrash it I am 55 drive it like I am 18 years old. Clean oil and carbon cleaning aka thrashing WILL keep a 5.4 alive. Not a replacement in the Ford line I am getting a Hemi.

I always like fixing something else couldn’t fix.

what was the cost on the wire portion you ordered

Is that even a weather pack comnector?

Which connector is for the camera?

When the truck is not rolling the owner is making no money!

Has anyone had this issue with the f150 2015 front camera only get a blue screen on front camera the rest work

Signal on camera not wowking

When Ford stops acquiring material and parts like Walmart ( at the lowest bid ) it might change 😢 👨🏻‍🔧

Made in Honduras

Let me start by saying I’m biased against all the toys and gadgets OEMs are putting on vehicles these days. KISS is where it’s at for me. That being said, how long will this crap last in states that use some form of ice melt during the winter months? It’s great while all these ‘toys’ are under warranty or if you can trade your problems away every 3 years. Consumers keep buying this crap not knowing what’s in store for them 3 or more years down the road. And our government is pushing to go all electric! People, wake up! Snowmobile trailer manufacturers can’t even make a trailer where the operating lights work for more than a year or 2. Low voltage connections don’t stand a chance against a salt brine or other corrosive environment unless very good, water proof connections are used and connections are treated at the factory with conductive/waterproof grease. Taken from a 1980s movie and twisted to suit my purpose, “Build it and it will fail”. i’m We’re all being used as Guinea Pigs while the manufacturers attempt to get it right. Sorry for the rant! This stuff is preventable!
