I went for the Putco emblem on my 25 ST, install was straightforward and the instructions were very clear, even coming with a guide where to cut out the hole for the wiring (which I found out after I cut the hole, but thankfully it was fine).

After the first start up I noticed it didn’t do the swoop like in the videos. After some investigation, I found a green wire coming from the unit itself that was cut, so I re connected it and that solved the issue.


Not sure why Putco would cut that and disable that feature but anyone interested in getting this emblem that’s how you solve that issue.

Assuming the 25 emblem is different from 20-24 models :(

On putco’s website, they have the light up emblem from 2020+

“New: Quick Connect Harness for grille emblems on 2021+ models.
Installs directly at the headlamp plug for a much faster installation, just like the OEM installation.”

For F150's but I don't see Explorers listed for pre 25 models.
