I don't think it's been moved. Look under something like Truck Settings, last option to select.

Ok thanks I don't remember it being in the dash menu, did that change from the main screen menu?
Has always been on the dash menu. I’ve been turning it off since Nov 2022. Always comes back, sometimes after an update, sometimes for apparently no reason.

I changed it and it came back with no update??
I guess I really need the coaching even though I rarely use the brake pedal :)

Help! Ahh i botched something with forscan, go figure! I changed a bunch of goodies within the word version instead of hex which seemed to go great. My 2 issues i currently have are the lightbar no longer comes on even though DRL is turned on within the car controls. the lightbar works fine when headlights are on and the brightness is increased as i programmed. second the easy exit is on even though it is turned off in the control center. Not sure what would have changed that. any help is appreciated. yes i did back up the AsBUILT before making changes in hex but i didnt think to do it before i made changes in the word version

Might be someone good enough to decipher what you need to change back, but your best bet is to restore the backup files you saved and start over.

You did save backup files right? If all esle fails you need to download your "As built" from Ford now before your truck updates it with the bad vaiues.

Unfortunately not unless something has changed since I used it last. It is just a backup/reference for how your truck was before the updates. It may be a bit tedious, but should allow you to get all of your settings back. You can open the backup files and compare them to the sections of the as built that match.

thanks I'll give it a shot. i might step back a couple things that i know dont do anything like fogs with high beams duh we dont have fogs lol and ambient lighting colors. after couple reboots the easy entry is back to normal, i have the glare free lighting working, walk away lock is showing but not working even though im on 6.12

From post 1, the value/default is whatever you see in this position in your AsBuilt:
BCM (this setting adjusts brightness) 726-38-01 xxxx 64xx xxxx
64 =100%
5A = 90%
4B =75%
32 = 50%
19 = 25%
0A =10%


On my 2022 Lariat, the As Built shows
726-38-01 0164-0A00-01
so 0A = 10%.

On my 2022 Lariat, the As Built shows a OA there, so 10%.
Thanks. And is 100% OK to do?

Folks have tried it and reported no difference. To me it's plenty bright at night. Would not want it any brighter.
