- 2020 Ford F-350 Tremor
So I got my Tremor (finally) last night after the dealer installed the winch. And this morning I was on the highway and tried to use the adaptive cruise. No error messages so the truck believes it's operating correctly but it's not "seeing" the car directly in front of me in my line while going straight. It actually continued to accelerate towards the car in front of me and never saw it.
When I got home I pulled the plastic trim off that side - the radar sensor is not seated properly. Now here's the thing, the connector to the sensor seems to be obstructed by metal behind the winch. The sensor can't seat on the pins properly and is slanted towards the left lane. That's why it couldn't see the cars in front. In the pictures you can see the sensor with the 2 pins on the bottom and an adjustable pin on the top, the connector on the back of the sensor and the cut-out in the metal of the winch frame and some metal behind that (this is what is blocking the connector).
Does anyone have the install instructions for the winch? I can't find it online. I have to believe Ford has a solution or the dealer didn't do the install properly but I hate to bring it to them and have the try again with no detail on what really needs to be done. Thanks!
