Ford OEM power running boards install a plug-n-play?

[ReverendQ]

Sorry for the late response

@ReactiveD, Exactly what I want to do someday. Got F250 brackets and boards but jonesing for the longer boards and kick-switch. Anybody reading this want to trade F150 boards with kick switch for F250 boards?

@Ford-TrueBlue, @HammaMan made me a harness but it also added cooled seats in addition to PRB to a MY23 XLT. He may be able to help you but be advised, your PRB from the 2018 F250 may have a different wiring and/or connectors. Whoever helps you should verify wiring first.

I do have the headed and cooled seats. Hoping to add just the harness for prb. I thought about the wires on the boards. Wasn’t sure if they would have to be changed.

Do you want the 250 style or 150 w/ kick switch? More wires/connectors required. It's novel but not worth the price IMO. You can run a wire to hidden button for your own button (tiny waterproof outdoor momentary button will do). Momentary short to ground will trigger them.

I am just waiting on @Jesse-Infotainment. He has all the info and is super helpful.

Try asking a question, most of this is fairly common knowledge at this point. Jesse can't read minds and is often busy.

I am just looking for the f250 style. No kick switch. I contacted infotainment today and asked about their my21 x 23 harness. I was told it would not work on my24. They also said they were doing away with that harness and would have PRB kits coming out in a couple of months. But I would like to install them sooner if I can.

I have the dsm & under seat harness. I am assuming i just need the harness to the boards.

After reading the thread on motion massage seats I am looking at killing two birds with one stone. Correct me if I’m wrong but the driver seat harness MU5Z14A699KA for the MMS will also work with the PRB. I am considering doing both at the same time. To start with I found a used driver seat harness and I’m searching for more used parts. I’m looking at getting the DSM from Ford. Any ideas on having it programmed?

Hey Guys I have a 2024 KR and I am looking for a replacement kickswitch (for the driver's side) I think they go to either side. Ford only appears to sell the entire running board assy. Anyone find a part number for have one laying around?
Thx

Your truck looks great! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on installing prb's. That is one of my summer projects.

I have made the harness for people so far.

The DSM has to be flashed and you cant do it. So most the time I send those also flashed and ready to go

You can do the calibration in Forscan now.

Hey! Wondering if you could make one for me, please PM the price

Hi all! I just joined today mostly because of this topic. Especially because of the generosity of @Jesse-Infotainment to help get this added to our vehicles.
Jesse - thank you! Buying a truck for my dad Saturday that doesn’t have the running board. Would you be able to tell from a picture if I need or don’t need to buy a DCM? Dont have the truck yet but it’s a 2022 lariat with bucket seat option on a 500a. Thanks in advance.

Hi, congrats.

All lariats have the DSM> So you would need a new DSM and new bottom seat harness for the lariat

We are selling the harnesses now but they are for the XLT with no DSM as of now,

You could maybe buy one of our harnesses and modify it for a truck that has the DSM. If I had time to do it for you I would I am just not able to do things I used to due to my days being too full anymore.

JesseI contacted Infotainment today about the harness and was told it’s not available yet. I was wanting too possibly modify it for my 2024 502a truck. Do you know if it will available soon?

I contacted Infotainment today not Jesse. I guess I need to prove read first.
