Re: F350 Trailer Wiring Fault Message

When i have gotten the same message on the fleet, it has always been the connector. Like bruce said, clean it, I add some di-electric grease and problem solved.

Re: what air bag?

I have also installed many airbag systems, I have them in the front of my plow truck. I have not installed or heard of a wireless system as of yet, but as far as firestone goes, we have had trouble free service for years some of which have been in for 10+ years
