For my 2024 XLT, when I went to order the parts from Ford, per the p/n's from way back at post #11
The lamp switch came up as replaced by p/n SW7733
FYI for anyone following along this old, but interesting thread.

Finally got around to doing mine with success! My '23 Pro does not have Tow Tech Package and therefore I had to run the 2 extra wires from the BCM plug to the bed light plug. Thank you @BhamDCam for outlining this process (both the post and video were super clear).

Since the 2024 XLT has the two extra wires, but not the 'dummy plugs' it would be nice to get the correct OEM wire harness that Does have the two plugs for the bed Lights.
Since there are sooooo many wire harness options, I read 15 pages of this thread and another 15 pages on the Gen14 forum, then started with what I have on the truck:

RL3T-13A409 -ZAC My truck has the bed scale, BLIS, trailer plug and 120v bed plugs.
I assume our tails are LED's (there is a lot of chat about black vs grey tail light plugs on Gen14)
Looking for the correct harness to support what I have + the bed lights and switch I found:

RL3Z-13A409-E
which lists tail lamps level 2,Lighting package level A, power inverter #1, Dearborn Electrical Vehicle Centre. {doesn't note onboard scale?}

RL3Z-13A409-P
which lists Dearborn Plant onboard scale, inverter (2,3,4,5) - {no idea which inverter I have on 2024 XLT Lightning}


Gen14 comments include the 13409-E Without Bed Scale. {Also Suffix G, J, K}
The Suffix N seems to be "with bed scale' but for F-150 ICE built in Kansas City.

The 13A409-P seems to be the correct harness, but not sure how to confirm it. Showing out of stock at the moment too. What can I check on the truck?

Has anyone been able to do this on the 2024s? I didn't have the dummy plugs, so I wired into the BCM, and I think that it's pins 10 (power) and 11 (com) vs 8/9 for the 2023s and below.

However, I went to enable in FORScan and I'm missing a few of the menu options that you all have had, I can only find one reference to the cargo lights in the BCM screen, and in the as built, I'm not seeing any other references to bed lights. Any tips on FORScan changes for the 24s would be amazing!
