Hate to be a pain, but do you have any videos on rear rotor removal on srw? I can't find any good ones on the 17+... I know it's the same setup it's been for years, but I wasn't sure if you had any tips or tricks? Same with anything on the parking brakes? Love your videos!!! Keep up the good job and educating all of us

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Gosh brother we are in the middle of video now. They arent that bad at all but will need to de adjust the rear e brake shoes...no biggie

So glad you depinned it. This is the way.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Thnx pal

[@himni1]

It’s always something, nothing can be easy. Quick and easy repair foiled by melted plastic. 😂 Nice that you saved the undamaged pins. I doubt most would have done that and would have left a rats nest Jack job of wiring under the seat.

[@clintprice2123]

Nice job, you took that stuck plastic far better than I would.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Brother, editing is the key 😉🤣

[@jerryknorr679]

Very well done ARod, I would've done the same thing replace just that one wire, instead of doing all of them. Thanks for sharing ARod

[@kingranch8516]

Nice work and that’s why I’m grateful to have ford esp. man’s got to know his limitations

[@ryanratzlaff1012]

I do the same thing when replacing connectors, even when I have to get surgical with the old connector. Makes a much tidier and better repair in my opinion.

[@nealcoppola9963]

Cleanest way to perform a hard shell repair. Heated Seat issues started with 1st Gen Expedition/Navigator. Series Circuit they use to melt seat cushion where heated element contacted cushion (Seat Back and Seat Cushion would be Inop) Heated and Cooled Seats Started in 2002 (If my memory is correct) They had Seat Cushion collapse concern due to occupant weight exceeding design limits restricting Air Flow. After all these years still have Heated/Cooled seat concerns. Keep up the great work !!!

Thanks pal

Glad it isn’t as bad as it looks but still a job to do. Bet that module is expensive.

[@joshuanickerson1108]

Nice job much cleaner than cutting the whole harness for one wire.

A Rod super duty nice 😉

[@chtoki]

I was going to ask why not De pin all but the bad wire so much easier but I though I would wait and watch and see what you do but you already said that’s the plan but the time I made this comment but yeah so much easier and simpler good call on the repair

[@foxbraap6373]

Done right ✅️

[@mooch91]

Seems to be a pretty common issue. Anything that can be done to prevent it from happening in the first place, to avoid the need for repair? Thanks.

That was some surgery stuff right there! Great video!

[@Nick-yk4kj]

It's funny, nissans have a similar problem with the pinfit on their heated seat control modules.

[@jeffembry7413]

Would like to see you do a similar repair or how-to in a 2020 and above super duty. Online parts places show that same module here works to current model. But my 2020 has nothing under the seat that looks like that. On a forum I read where the heated seat module is integrated into the seat memory module.

[@richcan22]

So I looked at my Control Module. Little burnt but not bad. Should I re use or change? I’m doing a pin exchange thinking I can still use module or is it the cause of the burn out.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yeah I would get a new one

[@robcole332]

Great video

[@chadharmon5716]

the ptt way is the only way 👍🏻 btw who needs heated seats in a truck come on lol

[@kellyc2425]

I do! Had them in my 2014 Cadillac CTS4. Once you have them, you always gotta have them, and the ones in my 2016 King Ranch work way better than the Cadillac

[@M4sterT3ch]

Nice work. Just curious, why not solder? To me that's the only way. Seen too many butt connectors cause plenty of problems down the road. Therefore, they go right in the trash can. I do love that heat shrink Ford includes in the pigtail kits though.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

I will tell you I MAKE LIFE TIME connections. Haven't had not one come back, 20+ yr vet

[@blackopsrocks]

So when your order the WPT part numbers do you inspect, depin and repin the GOOD pinouts or cut and splice most of the time? I have a pigtail to swap for the TCM and by all appearances only three wires actually need to be pigtailed and the rest could be repinned.

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Yea id probably juss do those affect pinns in that connector ughhh

[@johnnyyarbrough9716]

Could this be same problem my wife is having with her Edge ST ? Seems to be on the passenger side also. Have a appointment with my local Ford dealer on Monday to drop off .

[@Jason1Pa]

I wonder why some heated seats in these trucks work better then others? Mine is very disappointing and it's been that way since brand new. I've heard other owners complain about the difference in heat performance too. I've got two other Ford vehicles and the heated seats will literally make me sweat after a while.

[@ciscofreak73]

My drivers side seat is super slow to heat and barely gets warm compared to the passenger seat on my 16.

[@Jason1Pa]

@@ciscofreak73 Just for curiosity how are your AC seats? Mine don't impress me either.

[@jtopdawg6]

You the man!

[@DonkeyHammer]

This has been an on going issue with the modules for a long time. Wondering if this is still a Motorola made unit. From what im told the Motorola unit was used by Ford and GM both and both have this issue.

[@fordtechlife]

Have you seen the issue where the heated seat won't heat up on during the remote start on a 21 22 dealing with one now I thought I heard you say somthing about one in a video 🙏💪🇺🇸👊🔧

[@PowerStrokeTechTalkwARod]

Still working in a fix

[@armedprophet3321]

Would neoprene water proof seat covers cause the seats to overheat and cause a fire ?

[@the3mutts]

Nice work. Would you mind sharing the brand and model of the tools you used, i.e., the wire strippers, butane(?) torch, pin removal tool, dykes and the wobbly socket? Do you have an Amazon store? Thanks!

[@lewisbolman7862]

Only got a quick look ,but nothing on that module looked cooked, I had a light switch on 94 f150 that would cook like that, I replaced it so many times I almost put quick disconnects on. I think it was the plow lights, and heater vent allowing thermal event to happen.

[@kellyc2425]

If you don't mind... what is "thermal event"?

[@lewisbolman7862]

@@kellyc2425 I learned that at Yamaha outboard school, instead of saying a fire, they always said thermal event.

[@pepeshopping]

Way way over complicated modules. How many wires are there!? Other makers do it much smarter, reliable and cheaper. Reusing the old harness may be smart, but you are then installing an old part/component and as long as you warranty it, it’s ok if you have to do it again.
