Diagram of Ford F150 Headlight Wiring
The main function of the headlight is being run with the help of wiring harnesses. And, all the wires of it are usually attached to the Battery Junction Box (which stays hot all the time).
As you can see in the 2 diagrams, the BCM aka Body Control Module has up to 6 circuits that are being attached to the fixed areas.
Before explaining the connection of each wire, we want to make things clear about the alphabetical data on the BCM. The A refers to RF/LF Park Limps and B stands for RF/LF Low Beam in both diagrams.
Then again, you will see the C & D figure which indicates the RF/LF High Beam and RF/LF Day Running Lamp. Next to these, the E part refers to RF/LF Turn Lamps.
Lastly, the F figure represents the RF/LF Turn Outrage.
Park Lamp
The Park Lamp wire has blue with a grey stripe. And, it helps the headlight to shine when in ‘P’ (parking) mode.
Low & High Beam
The Low Beam wire has a light blue/brown shade with a green/blue stripe on the right-front and left-front areas. And there’s the orange/grey with violet/brown stripe cable on RF and LF side, which is High Beam wire.
DRL (Daytime Running Lamp)
You will see the violet/blue wire with a white/grey stripe, which is basically DRL wire. FYI, the previous models usually don’t have this part.
Turn Lamp
And, the Turn Lamp wire has a sunshine yellow/blue with an orange/green stripe that connects to the BCM’s RF Turn Lamp (on right-front and left-front).
Turn Limp Outrage
If looking closely at the drawing, the blue /yellow wire with a grey/green stripe cable that connects to the RF Turn Outrage is this part.
Ground Wire
The black and white/yellow stripe cable is called the Ground wire that completes the headlight wiring harness to operate properly.
Note:
- LF = Left Front (Driver Side View)
- RF = Right Front (Passenger Side View).
- DRL color can also be violet with a white stripe.
