GEN 2 PRNDM console lights

[SSWIM]

August 18 build. Painted on letters. I guess I don't see the issue. No biggie to me.

Just ordered the part FL3Z-13466-B from Tasca Parts. My Shelby Raptor was born 4/7/18

Hi...I just noticed that my 2018 ("loaded 802A") PRNDM does not light. Also, I don't have much ambient lighting in the truck. Passengers are always looking for the door handle to exit the truck. Quick question...is the fix a "big deal"? Do they need to open the entire center console? I'm not sure I want the entire console torn up and put back together...any comments will be appreciated. I guess I am mostly concerned about rattles after the console is reassembled.

It seems that Ford removed the lighted PRNDM, and it looks like it may have happened in stages during the 2018 production year.


I don't have any particular knowledge on the subject, the below is just based on my observation.


Early 2018's have lighted PRNDM. At some point (SSM 47312 indicates 17 Jan, 2018, production date as the cut off) Ford stopped putting the backlight in place but continued to use the translucent PRNDM equipped trim piece. It would be possible to add the backlighting to these vehicles. At some later point (no date found on that) the center console piece was changed and the letters painted on the console, backlighting these would not be possible at all as originally configured.


My very early March 2018 build 2018 (802 + tech package) has the painted on letters, it simply could not ever be backlit as originally built.


T!

My truck appears to have a "build date" of 5.27.18 so I may not be able to add lighting. However, Ford does appear to offer an Ambient Lighting kit as an accessory to the F150 and maybe the Raptor. So I may look into that option.

Just noticed my light on the gear shifter not coming on. My 2018 was built end of July. My girlfriend has a 2018 built in January and hers has the light on the gearshifter. 1 dealer told me mine doesn’t come with the light and another said ford shows it in the parts fiche for my VIN.

Anyone figure this out for sure?

Thanks

Your doesn’t have it they switched it up. Buy the $20 part it’s plug and play under there just have to drop few drops of super glue to hold the light on and your good. Really easy mod takes all of about 20 min.
