I can't imagine someone trying to restore one of these in 30 to 50 years like we do the classics now. Good luck finding these modules/ touch screens, etc I believe those massage seats are installed primarily for the owner to comfort his bottom after he leaves the dealership after buying that truck and for each trip home from having service work done.🤔

Result was P R N D LEDs started disappearing then eventually couldn’t put lever into DS mode. Dealer wanted $1000 to replace lever assembly. I was able to fix by rerouting the wires to give needed slack and some soldering. Patience and a bit of soldering/shrink tubing was cost to me. Bravo, Brian and Alex!

Well it makes sense to me as a former vehicle wiring engineer and Ford electrical engineer. You’re right the continuous movement adds to the cause of the wire breakage. But, more than likely that particular wire was damaged at the terminal crimp point. This would be a sign of the wire manufacturer having issues with automatic crimping machines when manufacturing the wire harness. If the crimp dies are not correctly adjusted they can strike the terminal and wiring too hard damaging that circuit. Which would explain why one wire broke sooner when all the wires in that connector are also moving. It’s all a combination of defective wiring, tight routing and harness design without proper strain relief. Good catch on your part.

This is why after Silverado, GMC, Ford Raptor that I had to dump due to Transmission shutters, hard shifting, lifter noise, and cam phaser rattle on the Raptor. I gave up I really loved those trucks but I was so tired of service advisers telling me thats just the way it is and live with it. NO $70,000 and $80,000 trucks should be better built period! Because thats what I paid for, if I wanted POS I would have spent less money. So I wound up getting a 2021 V8 Tundra 1794 TRD Off Road, yes its old school and yes its a 15 year old platform but she just runs no issues. I can live with old school and no trips to the dealer listing to some service adviser giving me a line of $h!t about how this is common and I have to live with it. Yes the Tundra gets 15 to 17 mpg at least the gas pump doesn't give me a line of $h!t. I pump gas and i'm rolling down the hwy. Sorry for the rant but I'm sure lots of folks who paid good money for their trucks are getting a little sick and tired of dealing with this crap.

I've been driving for just about 60 years and the most dependable, easiest/cheapest - to -maintain vehicles that I've owned where the older cars: The '67 Mustang with the 200 CI 6, the 78 F150 with the 300 CI 6, the '57 VW Beetle, & etc. The cars/truck had no options to speak of. They got me from point A to point B and they did it dependably, cheaply, and simply. In 1978 paid $4,700.00 for the F150. In today's dollars that equates to $22,132.24. The only option that I ordered was an overdrive manual transmission - no radio, crank-up windows, and no rear bumper and, certainly no 'massaging seats'. The complexity and cost of the currently available vehicles, when coupled with the prospective lifespan of what will soon become unobtainable replacement parts is mind numbing to say the least. I envision, in the not too distant future, junk yards filled with vehicles that, save for a few no longer manufactured replacement parts don't 'look' too worn out but are simply no longer 'fixable' except at enormous expense. With all of that being said, I (as a guy with a background in power mechanics) really enjoy your videos! Keep them coming!

Came here from Louis Rossmann channel! This is flooded vehicle! BCM needs to be looked at and at the corrosion at the connections.
