2026-10-27: F-150 section rebuilt from the project files

Date: 2026-10-27 (work ran from 23:56 on 26 Oct to 00:21 on 27 Oct, UTC; US Eastern is UTC minus 4 hours)
Project: F-150 Emergency Lighting and 12V Upfit
Pull requests: #27, #28

Legal notice

Emergency lighting and siren use is regulated by state law and permits. This entry documents a personal build and is not legal guidance.

Drag to compare. Left: the F-150 overview just before PR #28, with 8 pages in the sidebar. Right: today, with 21. Both from local production builds of this site.

This entry is the full record of the night the F-150 section was rebuilt from my own project files. It covers the source material, the header photo swap that came first, every one of the thirteen new pages, the grille guard page that turned out to describe a superseded plan, the 22 images added, what was left off for privacy, both pull requests, and the problems and inconsistencies that writing this entry turned up. Every number comes from the files, the pull requests or the git history. Anything unconfirmed is marked.

Summary

What I did

I went through my full F-150 project document and the complete file bundle from 23 October and put everything in it on the site. Thirteen new pages:

#	Page	Status	What it covers
1	Power, grounds and wire schedule	Planned	Every wire end to end (75 rows, P1 to X2), main power on 2 x 8 AWG fused 40A at the battery, the two wiring rules, the fuse table, the load budget and the under-seat amplifier mount
2	Install order and test plan	In progress	Phases 0 to 4, the bench power supply kit, and bench wiring for the U-Lites, Color Flood bar, CanTrol and 295HFSA6 test unit
3	Install parts and shopping list	In progress	Everything bought and still to buy in buying order, install quantities, wire lengths and tools. Running totals left out
4	Siren speakers	In progress	Two UBL 100W speakers on their own 1/4”-28 center bolts, parallel for a 5.5 Ω load
5	UBL U-Lite grille lights	Bench-tested	Two amber/white lights in the upper punch plate corners on J1-4 through a 3A fuse, synced and alternating
6	Visor light bar	Installed	SpeedTech Raptor split bar installed 18 Oct, on a 12V plug today, moving to J1-2 through its Grand Control Box
7	Rear traffic advisor	Installed	BooYu 8-head amber bar on J1-3 that needs its button pressed at every power-up, and the Whelen Dominator option
8	Rocker panel lights	Planned	Two UBL 60” amber/white bars on a 30A relay with its coil on LED Output 3
9	Putco Work Blade (tailgate)	In progress	60” amber/white bar on J1-5 with the Putco remote (A for white override, B for patterns)
10	Rear plate Z-6 and brake pop	In progress	Plate bracket, two Z-6 heads, steady red braking over OBD-II with the CC5K1 kit, and a front Super Takedown option
11	Factory lamps (EFM 3.0)	Installed	Speed Turtle EFM 3.0 inline at BCM J3 and J7 since 8 Oct (firmware v3.36), F150LEDs CREE bulbs
12	CF-33 laptop mount	Planned	The programming laptop and the planned passenger-seat mount with hardwired power
13	Decisions, revisions and sources	In progress	Where sources disagreed, everything superseded, the ten document revisions and every source

I also rewrote the grille guard page to the final mounts, gave the overview a vehicle baseline, workstreams, full open items and troubleshooting, added 22 photos and reference charts, and renumbered the sidebar.

What I learned

The grille guard page still described the 5 October proposal: L-brackets and backing plates for the speakers, band clamps and corner braces for the light bar, and a 1-3/4 in tube. All of that was replaced on 7 October by the speakers’ own center bolts, the light bar’s own L-brackets on steel ties, and a measured 1.91 in tube. Rebuilding from the source caught it. The same pass carried the frame-rail ground rule onto every new wiring table.

The source material

Source	Detail
F-150 project document (PDF)	98 pages. Its revision history runs from revision 1 (6 Oct) to revision 10 (22 to 23 Oct), plus an appendix issued at revision 7
Complete file bundle (zip)	F150_Upfit_Complete_Files_23Oct_1837, 100 files, about 108 MB: manufacturer manuals, my config sheet, the control head design brief and tech sheets, the siren mounting spreadsheet, the CanTrol photos, the Gen 3 bench test guide and photos
My later instructions	6 Oct (U-Lites in the upper punch plate, light bar under the lower tube) and 7 Oct (light bar on its own L-brackets with stainless ties). These win over earlier documents
Ford SVE Bulletin Q-231 and Ford body builder guidance	The ground rule, via my 21 Oct wiring research
UBL and SpeedTech support	UBL, 7 Oct: speaker bolt 1/4”-28 about 1-1/2 in, U-Lite holes take #6-32. SpeedTech, 8 Oct: the plate bracket is 12.5 x 5.75 in

The decisions, revisions and sources page lists all of it, including every manufacturer manual by form number.

Every pull request

PR	Opened	Merged	What it changed
#27	23:58	00:04:56	Replaced the overview header with the front setup image (src/assets/f150/grille-guard-front-setup.jpg, 1536 x 1024, re-saved from PNG as a progressive JPEG with no metadata, 391 KB) and new alt text naming the guard, U-Lites, speakers and Color Flood bar. Then used the same image for the grille guard page header and its “Front package layout” figure, replacing a caption that called the speakers and lights renderings. 2 commits, 3 files.
#28	00:19:41	00:21:23	Thirteen new pages, the grille guard rewrite, the overview expansion, the Color Flood page update, sidebar renumbering, 22 images and the first version of this entry. 1 commit, 43 files, 2,417 lines added and 64 removed.

The header photo swap

The old header was the numbered proposal mock-up with callouts 1 (speakers), 2 (light bar) and 3 (grille lights). The new photo shows the real truck with the package lit. It has no numbers, so the alt text names each part instead. The plate visible in it is the “Arrive Alive” specialty design with no plate number showing. The old mock-up file stayed in the repository for the grille guard page, until PR #27’s second commit replaced it there too.

The thirteen new pages

Power, grounds and wire schedule: 75 rows from P1 to X2.

Install order and test plan, Phases 0 to 4.

Siren speakers: center-bolt mount and parallel 5.5 Ω wiring.

Decisions, revisions and sources: every conflict and how it was resolved.

Power, grounds and wire schedule

• The two wiring rules (21 Oct): no ground ever on the battery negative post (the 2015+ F-150’s charge sensor is on that cable, per Ford SVE Bulletin Q-231), and no grounds on the aluminum cab, bed, fenders, tailgate or radiator support. Amateur radio gets its own battery feed and ground, never shared with the CanTrol.
• Main power: two red leads on the 4-position Molex plug, each fused 40A within 2 ft of the battery, on 8 AWG. Each red carries half of 80A, sized at 125% to 50A. At 50A the Whelen chart allows 8 AWG to 15.5 ft, and the runs are about 12 ft. Two black leads of the same gauge go to the Q-231 point or a frame rail. The module case is grounded too.
• Ignition sense: J17-7 through a fuse tap. The page records that Ford’s body builder guidance advises against fuse panel taps, and that the choice on record is to keep the tap on a slot picked by meter.
• Fuse blocks: two Nilight 6-way ATC/ATO blocks near the battery, one for the CanTrol group and one for accessories, the accessory block fed by 10 AWG.
• Wire schedule: 75 rows grouped by device, each with source, destination, wire, protection and notes.
• Load budget: about 7.4A of known loads (visor under 2.4A, Color Flood 3.3A max, U-Lites 0.70A, Z-6 heads under 0.5A each as an estimate), with the BooYu, Putco and rocker bars still to measure.
• Amplifier mount: under the driver-side rear seat (8 Oct).

Install order and test plan

Five phases, each tested before the next one hides wires: Phase 0 before touching the truck, Phase 1 bench tests on 12V with no drilling, Phase 1b mock-up on the guard, Phase 2 truck power and mounting, Phase 3 the EFM 3.0 in the front passenger footwell, and Phase 4 final wiring and the full test. The bench section has the power supply kit and the bench wiring for each product (A to D), with the U-Lites done 10 Oct and the Color Flood bar done 11 Oct.

Install parts and shopping list

Everything bought with the per-item price paid, and everything still to buy in buying order: guard mock-up and mount hardware, lights and modules, wiring day power, fuses, wire and terminals, mounting and shop labor, and install tools. Then install quantities by group. Prices marked “est.” are estimates, lengths are estimates for a SuperCrew, and running totals are kept in my spreadsheet and not published.

Siren speakers

Two UBL 100W speakers, 11 Ω each, in parallel for exactly the CanTrol’s 5.5 Ω minimum, so the label impedance must be read before wiring (an 8 Ω rating would put two speakers below Whelen’s minimum). Each bolts straight through an existing punch plate hole on its own 1/4”-28 center bolt, with a rubber washer in front and a fender washer, nylon-insert lock nut and blue thread locker behind. The heads are stamped 8.8, so a nut gets test-spun before buying the set. An anti-rotation fix is a suggestion, not yet tested.

UBL U-Lite grille lights

Two amber/white U-Lites (UBL-UL2-SM) in the upper punch plate corners on #6-32 black stainless screws with #8 fender washers behind the plate. Fed from J1-4 through a 3A in-line fuse within 12 in of the output (0.70A max for both), yellows joined for sync and one white lead used so they alternate. Bench-tested 10 Oct.

Visor light bar

SpeedTech Raptor Elite Striker-TIR split visor bar, amber/amber, on SpeedTech’s Q-RVF15 F-150 brackets, installed 18 Oct with the cable along the headliner and A-pillar. It runs from a 12V socket plug today and moves to J1-2 through the Grand Control Box, which is required for patterns, on wiring day.

Rear traffic advisor

BooYu 8-head amber traffic advisor on SpeedTech headrest brackets, installed. Its controller needs the power button pressed every time it gets power, so it stays manual and J1-3 only cuts its power. The page also documents the Whelen Dominator Plus as a possible replacement that was not bought.

Rocker panel lights

Two UBL 60” amber/white running board bars (UBL-TGB-AW2, SAE J595 Class 1) on one 30A relay, with the relay coil on LED Output 3 (slide 3). Not bought yet. The draw isn’t listed by UBL, so it gets measured before fuses are chosen, along with the sync steps.

Putco Work Blade (tailgate)

Putco 60” amber/white Work Blade with the Wireless Remote Kit V3, on 3M tape on top of the rear bumper under the tailgate. CanTrol J1-5 powers it on an amber pattern, and the remote’s A button gives white override while B steps patterns. The remote is on constant power, so its standby draw gets measured against Ford’s 28 mA key-off guideline.

Rear plate Z-6 and brake pop

A SpeedTech plate bracket (12.5 x 5.75 in, per SpeedTech support) and two Z-6 TIR brake heads, amber/clear, on LED Outputs 12 and 13. The heads’ red brake wire gives steady red while braking, read over OBD-II with the Whelen CC5K1 CANport kit. A front Super Takedown version is planned for later. The page has the Z-6 dimensions, wire charts and color charts from SpeedTech’s manuals.

Factory lamps (EFM 3.0)

The Speed Turtle EFM 3.0 installed inline at BCM J3 and J7 in the front passenger footwell on 8 Oct, firmware v3.36, flashing the factory lamps through the BCM with no taps on factory circuits. F150LEDs CREE headlight, running and turn, and marker bulbs fitted, flashing clean with no hyperflash. The voltage input harness that lets the CanTrol trigger it is still to buy.

CF-33 laptop mount

The Toughbook CF-33 programs both the CanTrol and the EFM over USB. A passenger-seat mount with a locking keyboard dock and hardwired power is planned, waiting on a used RAM Mounts setup. Fuse and wire come from the mount’s manuals once chosen.

Decisions, revisions and sources

The source rule (my documents first, then my later instructions), the four status labels (Confirmed, Estimate, Unconfirmed or inferred, Superseded), five conflicts between sources and how each was resolved, fourteen superseded plans, the ten document revisions, every owner and manufacturer document, the two support contacts and the reference links.

The grille guard correction

Drag to compare the grille guard page. Left: before PR #28, still listing the 5 October proposal hardware. Right: today, with the final 7 October mounts.

Topic	What the page said before	What it says now
Lower tube	About 1-3/4 in, read from photos	1.91 in OD (6 in around), under 1/16 in gap to the punch plate, center verticals 13.5 in apart. Measured with a tape on 7 Oct, with four photos
Light bar mount	Thin stainless band clamps and 1-1/2 in corner braces	The bar’s own included L-brackets, rubber pads and two JOUGU coated stainless ties per bracket, tensioned with the ZOOSUNX tool
Speaker mount	L-brackets bolted through the plate with 1/4”-20 hardware and aluminum backing plates	The speaker’s own 1/4”-28 center bolt straight through an existing punch hole, no L-bracket
U-Lite mount	#8-32 screws with backing strips	#6-32 black stainless screws, #8 fender washers 1-1/4 in across, nylon-insert lock nuts
Hardware list	The 5 Oct proposal list	The final list, with a “Dropped from the 5 October proposal” section so nobody buys the old parts
Wire storage	No section	Seven-step plan for storing the guard leads in loom until wiring day, with parts
Touch-up	A flat black spray for drilled or enlarged holes	The 23 Oct refinish: damage found, the two-day method, every supply with its Home Depot SKU and the lesson about steel wool
Mock-up	No section	Six checks, two done on 10 Oct
Shop install	No section	Why a shop mounts the guard (the splash shield needs trimming at the tow hook brackets) and the scope of work
Guard part	50-1420C	50-1420C, with the 2015 to 2017 fitment confirmed on 22 Oct

The overview rebuild

The overview's component table now links all 20 pages with their statuses.

The overview gained a vehicle baseline table (truck, roof, seating and console, equipment console, factory lamps, guard, lower tube, battery), a workstreams table with the current state of each, the full component pages table, an updated parts list, safety notes expanded with airbag, coax, siren testing, drilling and painting rules, the open items split into measurements, decisions, confirmations and purchases, and a twelve-row troubleshooting table. Its changelog records the rebuild with a link back to this entry.

Other pages touched

Page	Change
UBL Color Flood 2.0 light bar	Added the 5A fuse allotted for the power feed and the 295HFSA6 all-features bench diagram; moved to sidebar position 10
CanTrol bench test plan, Control head mount, Five modes plan	Sidebar order only
Build Log index	This entry added

The final sidebar order is 0 overview, 1 output plan, 2 controller, 3 power and wiring, 4 bench test, 5 install plan, 6 parts list, 7 five modes, 8 grille guard, 9 siren speakers, 10 Color Flood, 11 U-Lites, 12 visor bar, 13 rear traffic advisor, 14 rocker panels, 15 Putco, 16 rear plate Z-6, 17 factory lamps, 18 control head mount, 19 CF-33 mount, 20 decisions and sources.

Rules applied on every page

• My documents first. Where a document disagrees with an imported chat, the document wins. Where I gave a later instruction, the instruction wins. Every remaining disagreement is listed on the decisions page.
• Grounds: the side of a steel frame rail or the Ford Q-231 point on every wiring table. Never battery negative and never the aluminum body.
• Final mounts: the 7 Oct decisions (speaker center bolt, light bar on its own L-brackets with ties, U-Lites on #6-32). The 5 Oct proposal hardware is marked superseded.
• Labels: Confirmed, Estimate, Unconfirmed or inferred, and Superseded. Anything not confirmed says so or reads TBD.
• No invented specs. Unlisted draws, IP ratings and fuse ratings are open items, not guesses.
• Prices: per-item prices paid are shown. Running and group totals are not.

Privacy pass and what was left off

Left off	Why
The gun vault	Security
The cab organizers	Kept off by my choice
The control head serial number	Identifies the unit
Spend totals and running totals	Kept in my spreadsheet only
Location and state details	Privacy
Speaker sticker designs	Some use the Florida state seal and agency-style logos
Seller listing photos	Not mine to republish
Photo metadata	Every image re-encoded; cab photos in my documents carry GPS

Problems hit and how they were solved

Problem	What caused it	How it was solved
The grille guard page described a superseded plan	It was written from the 5 Oct proposal before the 7 Oct decisions were in the source	Rewritten from the final decisions, with a “Dropped” list for the old parts
The tube size was wrong	A photo estimate (about 1-3/4 in)	Replaced by the 7 Oct tape measurement, 1.91 in OD
The old header had numbered callouts the new photo lacks	The new image is a real photo, not a mock-up	The alt text names each part; numbers can be added if I want them
Sources disagreed	Five topics (head location, console, ground point, roof, U-Lite washer)	Each resolved and recorded on the decisions page
The project document’s revision 7 is missing from the main history	Only the appendix was issued at revision 7	Recorded as such in the revision table
No local build	The container’s Node is below Astro’s minimum	The Cloudflare preview on PR #28 was the build check, and it passed
Two requests for the same thread overlapped	The header swap and the rebuild arrived two minutes apart	The swap shipped in its own small PR (#27) and merged first; the rebuild followed in #28

Findings from writing this entry

Reading every F-150 page and source side by side for this entry turned up these. Only the totals were fixed in this pull request.

Finding	Detail
Page count	The section has 21 pages (the overview plus 20), not “20 pages, up from 8” as first reported
Document cover	The PDF’s cover still reads “Revision 8, 16 Oct 2026”, while its contents and revision history run to revision 10 (22 to 23 Oct)
Totals on four pages	The decisions, parts list, rear plate and grille guard pages still showed group totals, the touch-up spend and one order’s total with tax and discount. Removed on 27 Oct at my call; per-item prices stay
Wire IDs	The wire schedule calls the Color Flood wires C1 to C8; the Color Flood page calls them CF1 to CF8, in a different order
Draw source	The bench test plan calls the Color Flood’s 3.3A a “UBL rating (confirmed)”; the Color Flood page says it comes from my proposal and is unverified
Roof	The project document says sunroof; my standing notes say panoramic roof. Either way, nothing mounts on the roof

Testing and verification

Check	Result
Cloudflare preview build of PR #28	Passed
Local production build before PR #28	39 pages
Local production build after PR #28	53 pages, built with Bun because the container’s Node is too old
Sidebar order and component table links	Checked in the screenshots on this entry
Images re-encoded with metadata stripped	Done for all 22 in PR #28 and the one in PR #27
Anything on the truck	No new tests. This rebuild documents the plan. Bench-tested items are still only the Color Flood bar (11 Oct) and the U-Lites (10 Oct); the EFM bulbs were verified in the truck on 8 Oct

What I learned

• Rebuild from the source, not from the last page. The grille guard page looked complete, but it was a faithful copy of a plan I had already replaced. Only reading the source again caught it.
• Keep the superseded plans visible. A “Dropped” list and a superseded table stop anyone buying the old parts, and show why the plan changed.
• One rule, every table. Writing the ground rule onto every wiring table, instead of one note on the overview, is what makes it hard to get wrong on wiring day.
• Labels beat hedging. Confirmed, Estimate, Inferred and Superseded say exactly how much to trust each line.
• Small change first. Shipping the header swap as its own PR let it go live in six minutes while the big rebuild was still being written.

Open items

Truck

• Bench test the CanTrol with each product (the ten-stage Gen 3 guide), measure every unlisted draw, and fill in the TBD cells.
• Confirm the speakers’ 1/4”-28 thread and label impedance, and that each fits its bay.
• Confirm the U-Lite #6-32 screws and their spots over the plate holes.
• Read the CanTrol module label (CANWCT3 is needed for brake pop) and check that Whelen Command lists Brake for the 2017 F-150.
• Measure the wire runs and the control head cable length.
• Confirm the Optima DH7 fits the tray.
• Order the rocker bars, the EFM voltage input harness, the relay, fuse blocks and wire.
• Book the shop install of the grille guard. The Ben3DBuild mount arrives 2 to 3 weeks after 21 Oct.
• Decide the five modes questions (head layout, visor bar routing, rocker bar outputs, Putco white).

Site

• Match the Color Flood wire IDs between the wire schedule and the Color Flood page.
• Correct the bench test plan’s “UBL rating (confirmed)” note.
• Update the PDF cover to revision 10.
• Add the project start date (currently TBD).

Next step

Bench test the CanTrol with each product, measure every unlisted draw, and fill in the TBD cells.
