    2017 FFE Battery degradation

    I have a 2017 with just over 51,000 miles. I always charge via my home level 2 charger. No issues so far!

    Installing Ford splash guards on your FFE:

    Thanks - they do look nice and should help protect the sides. Nice post!

    Yes - there is power there that feeds the map lights.

    Illuminated Door Sills

    I ordered the illuminated "Electric" sills from Ford and they seem to be permanently "out-of-stock". So that's why I gave up on them and tried these instead. I think that sills look good, illuminate or not! The "Electric" emblem is very nice -

    Here's the three colors that are available. You can find a YouTube of these in action - the light moves back and forth. My first time with this product so we'll see how they last.

    Both sides all done and the connections at the overhead console completed and panel put back into place. Don't forget to reconnect the connector after tapping the violet-gray wire. Here it is - both sides look the same. I like it!

    The passenger side all completed - the protecting plastic removed from the door sill as well: I solder all wire connections and use shrink wrap if I can - electrical tape as last resort.

    I hooked up power and ran the wires over the sill lip after putting some tape down to protect the wire from the metal: Here's the ground completed: Do the same thing for both sides.

    Illuminated Door Sills

    I ran wires from the overhead console to each door between the roof and inside headliner. Fish a wire under the curtain airbag from the door - you'll see the best spot by looking for the lower area in the roof liner. The fishing wire will be tight at first and then slide easily to the over to...

    Next, on the driver's side you'll see a connector between the console and the roof. It's gray. Pull out the connector and move it to where you can access the wires. Here it is out: Now you only need to tie into one wire for the power to the illuminated door sills. You can also get ground...

    Here's a close up of one of the tabs that you have to release: And here is the panel out - it still has the microphone and its cable holding it up. No need to mess with that - just let the panel hang. This shot shows the entire panel and you can see what holds it up:

    Illuminated Door Sills

    I went with the white LEDs but they can also be purchased with red or blue LEDS. The first job was where to get the power - I wanted the power that turned on the overhead lights and then turned off by itself. After searching my wiring diagram book and inside the car, I found the best place to...

    Illuminated Door Sills

    I love illuminated door sills and I had to add them to my 2017 FFE. Here is a step-by-step process if you'd like to add them yourself. I usually get the OEM illuminated door sills from Ford but they are on back order and I got sick of waiting over a month for them so I got a set from eBay...

    2017 FFE Signature Lighting with Dedicated DRLs

    I obviously ran wires to each headlight and into the headlight assembly via the waterproof connectors. Controlled via the dash switch. There is an appearance of the H1 power lead on the existing headlight connector but no way to easily use it (and it has the unknown control mod lead - danger...
