Diode Dynamics C1R hitch light help

[Sporter421]

Would love some help from anyone else that has installed one of these diode dynamic C1R hitch lights. I came across a few posts on here that said they were installed with no issues, loved the idea, so I decided to order one. However my ST goes bonkers with trailer messages every time I hit the brakes.

Just curious from other ST owners that may have this installed if I am missing something, did something wrong or if this is something to return. It does appear to work correct and looks great but car just goes crazy with notifications. Trailer connected, disconnected, trailer light errors.

I have one on my 23 ST and have no issues. Works perfect. Have you tried to contact DD about this? They may have sent you the wrong wiring harness.

I did not. I actually ordered from lethal performance so I could use PayPal and diode themselves were showing back order at the time. Little did I know it was gonna wait and ship from diode anyway. Prior I had messaged another forum member that I seen posted they had no problem, to ask which car he ordered for since they have ones labeled for different year F150 and Broncos but no Explorer. He sent me the model number he got and that’s what I searched for and ordered. Did you order one for a specific ford model?

I will reach out to them tomorrow and hopefully I just need a different harness even if it ends up costing me a little more in the end. It is weird, I had to go to dinner right after which is when I seen the issue but when I left dinner not a single notification on the way to the ice cream shop but then just got one or 2 sporadic notifications on the way home from there. It went from every brake press to none then random lol. I checked to make sure nothing was loose.

Figured I’d ask here to see if maybe I was supposed to do something else and wondered if they would just say it isn’t for the explorer just the F150 and Bronco or something. Could be a bad harness to I suppose, maybe. I will see what they say, thank you!!
