Hello everyone,
I’ve done what I can think of to figure out what’s wrong here. Hoping somebody has been through this before.
Problem: after several years of working properly, both side mirrors (motion and heat) as well as the inside rear view mirror camera image and compass are dead.
Problem solving so far:
1. No power at mirror 4-way switch
2. No power at the Born Free added fuse panel by the brake pedal. This is a 4-slot panel with 5,5,10,15A fuses.
3. No blown fuses (box shaped ones) in the under-hood fuse/relay box which is where I presume BF tied their 4 slot box into.
4. Pulled and swapped the #8 relay (upfitter relay) with a relay from the trailer light circuit - no difference.
5. Inspected all box fuses for blown elements. No issues.
5. No visible rodent damage or corrosion.
Any other suggestions ? Also, can somebody confirm that BF tied into the Ford relay box upfitter circuit vs running a wire directly to the battery or some other remote hot spot ?
Any and all input appreciated.
John

When you go to the Fb page you will need to answer a few quick questions and Sharen or Jim the moderators will need to accept you into the private group that is for Born Free Owners. Once you are admitted to the FB group you can post your questions.

Bumping this post up since I haven’t gotten any feedback on the FB site yet. All I really need to know is where the small 4-fuse auxiliary fuse box added by BF just behind the break pedal gets its power from. Thanks
