The grassy hill you're walking on sure looks wet.
Becareful you don't slip all the way down it.

Shows them with water in it but never shows where or how the water got in....If you watch the end of the video, he shows the original taillamps laying on the tailgate with water in the one.
He talked about it in the video that the water comes through the seals of the tail light. He said it's fairly common. In the comments he mentioned that the high pressure touchless car washes are a big contributing factor as well.Shows them with water in it but never shows where or how the water got in....
If ABS fails, the vehicle presumably loses the ability to collect information about individual wheel speeds. If cruise is allowed to continue operating without that information, loss of traction under one or more drive tire(s) could result in yaw and loss of control.yes, it is. My Brother is an engineer at Borg Warner, I was asking him why my Mopar truck locks out the cruise control and the 4wd system if there is an ABS failure... and he went around and around in his head trying to rationalize why Mopar did it that way, but he couldn't... same applies here to Ford... it doesn't make sense but if that is the solution, then that is what it was.. I remember going around and around with one of our vendors who was installing communication equipment on some of our vehicles, and we had an issue on one particular vehicle where the communication stuff got connected and it caused the ABS to go haywire and the Check Engine light to come on and the Speedometer to act like a tachometer... ... the vendor insisted it wasn't the fault of his equipment but he couldn't explain how the problem went away when we disconnected his communication equipment..
Thanks. I'll read the info later today.
I have the LED blis lights on my 2019 F350. Very tough to find replacement taillights that are not cracked, thus resulting in moisture impacting the light. Solution is multiple actions, from a much stronger taillight assembly to design of the modules that significantly reduce impact when water is introduced. One of my F350 LED lights was half filled with water. It happens....Auto recycler seems like the better route out there for this . Ford makes Land Rover ownership look economical in this case.
Gotta have the bling....... sad.......Avoid collision avoidance systems or whatever else is making things like windshields / headlights / taillights super expensive now.
There is hardly more useful device than TPMS. I would put it behind seatbelts but ahead of air bags.The nanny state will eventually mandate all of it. First was TPMS, then backup cameras. Next will be BSM (blind spot monitoring) or something else like radar to avoid front end collisions. Or maybe even rain-sensing wipers.
Don't worry, it's all safe and effective like other things we've seen mandated lately.
I agree all these options should be optional if the buyer wants them. We don't need legislation requiring them.
I know you are a big fan of using silicone paste liberally for fasteners, etc. Did you slather up the tailight and BLIS electrical connectors on the F-350 King Ranch with silicone paste as shown on the Makuloco video?I have the LED blis lights on my 2019 F350.

Yes, absolutely. As posted earlier, I use silicone paste on just about everything....I know you are a big fan of using silicone paste liberally for fasteners, etc. Did you slather up the tailight and BLIS electrical connectors on the F-350 King Ranch with silicone paste as shown on the Makuloco video?
Given the high cost of replacement parts, it may be prudent to seal the taillight lens gasket interface surfaces with clear RTV as a primary deterrent to future water intrusion.
It brings down the entire CAN bus. A lot of modules have the potential to do this. Similar issue on Ram pickups.
