Thanks very much for sharing this information and the photos. So if I order this same part number, LB5Z19980G, it will work to control the HVAC and heated seats in my 2022 ST? I'm not very mechanical so I'd just like to confirm with you please. Thanks again for sharing!
Yes, if you can get the part it’s a simple install and everything works as designed. No programming is necessary.

Tonight I installed afe intake on my 2022. The intake has a whole for blow off valve that mine doesnt have. I am an hvac tech and made a cap that threads in can be removed if needed later. 9EB03BE5-B243-46C5-9E19-65785E8C81EC.jpeg 26FE5B94-273A-49E5-BC73-D9DD5FE462B1.jpeg
3/4" pvc threaded male and a cap.Use schedule 40 not 20, 20 will void warranty, haha. I glued the cap on with pvc glue. You could add a little glue to threads if you don't plan on removing it.

Are they a bolt on or do they need to be modified? They look good! Jim
They're bolt on. One side has two screws that "pinch" onto the jacking point. Some may choose to cut a small piece of plastic off of the skirting to get a better fit.

Yup the rears need a small amount cut out to sit flush. Just use a utility knife and you’re golden

Today I installed the 3rd zone climate control and rear heated seats module. My truck is a 2022 and it was built without the controls. I along with everyone else was credited for the removal. Installation was super easy and took around 10 mins to complete. The rear seats have the elements and all wiring installed and the rear centre console where the module is located has the wiring taped that controls the settings. Pics are included here, along with the part number for the controls. I bought the control unit from Camelback Ford in Arizona. They had it in stock, but only this one.
Can’t wait to do this. Did you have to change any settings to make it work? My new ‘22 also deleted the rear auto lift gate. Have you looked for those parts too?

Washed my wheels today. Been remodeling my bathroom for a month and the ST is facing some serious neglect. Hoping to be done in a couple weeks so i can give the ST some love.

No the rear climate controls were plug and play, no settings needed changing. I haven’t looked into the handsfree lift gate parts as I have read on here others have issues with them opening and closing unexpectedly.

Here’s a post discussing the handsfree tailgate issues.

I had a mouth-breather try to pass me into oncoming traffic on a double-yellow. I nudged the right pedal and he changed his mind.

Installed one step colder NGK 95605 Ruthenium plugs. This is the last of the performance bits before I do some data logging and install a ZFG tune. The anticipation is killing me as I will have to wait to do this for a couple weeks.

Took delivery of a 22 Stone Blue ST on 8/24/22. Since taking delivery have added all weather mats throughout, added Ford Splash guards, changed lug nuts to black (McCord), added Canvasback cargo liner, added Ford rubber plug for receiver hitch, added wind deflector under the rear, had the entire hood, bumper, headlight, fog lights, quarter panels, door cups and door sills wrapped in PFF and had the black rims cleaned, polished and ceramic coated. I have parts for the center console on order as well as the rear temperature module that were deletes for 22.
